Contacting different Webmasters and making a deal with them on setting up a link of your site in theirs, and vice versa. There are 4 kinds of links available to you: 1. Static Links. These links are in the form of raw site address or domain name. (e.g. http://www.linkbuildinggalore.com/) 2. Text Links. Certain texts can be turned into a link, which is commonly used with published articles on the Internet. Instead of using static links, text links is very convenient to use considering that that it can be part of the entire content without affecting its formatting.

Link Building Techniques There are two types of link building techniques that you can use in promoting your Web site: 1) one-way links, or 2) reciprocal linking. One-way link is setting up a link in your site pointing to the other, while the latter does not create a link that points to your. Reciprocal linking is conceptualized as two-way linking, which can easily be explained by saying: "I'll place a link of your site in my site, while you place a link of my site in yours." The latter being the most popular among Webmasters. Link building is definitely a way to increase your site traffic, but it's not possible to achieve the desired results overnight.

To pull this off, you need to spread out as many of your links to different sites as possible to achieve the online popularity that you desired. Vanessa Arellano Doctor http://7seo.com
