subject: How to Get Links to your Website [print this page] You really want to get links from authority sites, don't you? But the problem is, you don't have an idea on how to do this and where to start. Good thing, there are several steps you can employ to successfully provide your site and your business the web presence you want to achieve.Authority sites are capable of providing you with more quality links compared to other sites. While you can get links from social network sites like Twitter and Facebook, they are less valuable than the links you can obtain from government sites and education sites. But how can you acquire links from such sites?Since back links from these authority sites really make a big difference in your search engine rankings, you should make it one of your priorities when planning your SEO strategies. Another reason why you should work on getting links from government and educational sites is that the outbound links they provide your site with are seen by search engines as official and are hence respected. The more links you get from these sites, the more your chances are of making it to the top.Here are some ways to help you get more quality back links from the right authority sites:Make yourself an authority.
This is something you must do before you ask the site for a link. Ask yourself this question: "Am I really deserving to get a link from this authority site?" If you know that the answer to such question is a big NO, chances are, you really won't be getting links from that authority site.The best thing you can do is to make yourself an authority in your niche. You can do this by speaking at big industry conferences and writing in well-known industry journals. By so doing, you'll become popular to your prospect linking partners and once you are, they sure will be very much willing to give you the links you need and deserve.Build personal relationships.
To do this, you should be able to socialize especially with key persons behind your prospect authority sites. If you have good personal relationship with the ones running the site, you'll be able to achieve long term link building advantages. So if you haven't started yet, better begin organizing or joining industry conferences, workshops, seminars, meetups, and exhibitions to socialize with other webmasters offline.Bear in mind that SEO is a form of online marketing, so the more you advertise yourself, the better. The best way to socialize online is through social media websites like forums, blogs, social networking websites, and community groups. As you socialize, don't forget viral connectors which work to make all your articles and contents viral.Know the need for content.
Find out the content needs of your prospect linking sites. Satisfy those needs by making killer tools and content. Make sure that your potential linking partners know about this.These three steps are very much significant if you're considering link acquisition from various authority sites. If you'll follow these steps, there is lesser chance that your link request will get ignored or denied.
