How to Get One Way Links to Your Web Site

The most important thing you can do to get a good placement out sideof quality content is to have many one way links to your site. A one way link is a link that comes to your site and you have no link returning to it.

One way links are become much more important now that Google is frowning on reciprocal linking. A large number of reciprocal links on your site can actually hurt your web position in Google. Also remember that not all links are created equal. It appears that Google only pays attention to links from a page that has a page rank of 3 or better. Here is a great tool for your web promotion. http://www.uptimebot.com/. It shows how many links Google counts to affecting your page rank as well as many other features. Type in a URL and you can see how many links Google counts and how many total links to your site.

Hot to get one way links to your site

The most important thing you can do is to make a quality site that other people want to link to. Foe example, you are making a fishing site. If you have enough quality information and your visitors find your site very helpful some of them will link to your site so their visitors can have access to your quality information. Another example would be a good regional site. If you have the best website for the town you live in. Then many people, businesses and local government sites will want to link to you.

Directories provide one way links

Submit your site to major directories. Once upon a time I said to submit your site to every directory. Doing this could prove between 50 and 100 one way links. But now Google is looking at many smaller directories as link farms. Not only does a link from these sites not help but some could hurt. The most important directory to get into is Dmoz. This directory can be hard to get into so we have added a page, How to get into Dmoz.
