subject: Building Backlinks For Long Term Growth Is An Art and Science [print this page] Article directories are high traffic, high page rank authority sites, and getting links from them can help your site quite a bit. When you submit articles to article directories, which should be relevant to your site, you can have a link to your site in the section following the article, called the resource box. When you publish articles, of course, you will not only be getting one way links, but some direct traffic from the directories themselves. You can also include any information you want in your articles, as you are the one creating them.
Placing a link in your signature when you post to online discussion forums is another easy way to get relevant backlinks. Sign up for some high traffic forums in your niche market and start to contribute to them, start new discussions, share useful tips, etc. You can gain the status of an expert after a while, which means people will look at your signature and click on your link. And the best part? You are not only getting valuable, relevant links, but also direct traffic from people interested in your niche.
You won't succeed overnight with link building, but if you stick with it, you will eventually reach your goals. So don't quit if you don't reach page one within a week. You have to persist until your work is rewarded by the search engines.
