10.19.09 How To Start Building Site Links 
By Matthew ElshawWhen it comes to SEO, increasing your inbound links is one of the most effective ways to improve your ranking. If you've recently launched a new website, or are looking for some advice to get started - here are 5 simple (but effective) link building methods. 1. Internal Linking One of the easiest methods simply involves linking to relevant pages from other pages on your website. By using content based links, you can control the anchor text of each link to ensure you get the maximum SEO benefit. 2. Directory Submission Submitting your website to free online directories doesn't take much time and can be a very effective way to increase your inbound links. Many directories also allow you to write your own title and description which is another chance to include relevant anchor text. 3. Social Media Links Bookmarking your website across some popular social media sites is another way to ensure you receive a keyword based incoming link. To get you started, here's a list of some of the more popular sites:
4. Article Distribution Writing informative articles and distributing them online is another powerful link building tactic. Write original articles, keep them to around 500 words and submit them to popular sites like www.ezinearticles.com and www.articlebase.com. 5. Start Writing a Blog Setup a blog using Wordpress or Blogger and get into the habit if writing one new post per week. Make sure to link to your website using targeted anchor text where possible. Aside from the direct linking benefit, your blog posts might also get syndicated on other sites which will create another incoming link. If you want to build more incoming links but don't have the time, you can also consider our new link building service which can help to improve your ranking.
