- Get Backlinks from Similar Sites
Step 1 – Build List of a few keywords that you think users will search for to access your site.Step 2 – Also think of related terms and keywords that users might alternatively use when searching for your site. Step 3 – Search google for your terms or keywords. Note url’s of those sites. Visit each one of those sites. Use Firefox SEO plugin to learn more about each site. Find contact information for each site owner. You can usually find this in the contact page. If you can’t find the contact information on the page enter the website’s url in a whois site. If you can find a phone number in the whois site, it’s best to call rather than email. Calling is much more dependable.
Step 4 – To get site to link to you it’s better to get a one-way link: A link from their site to yours without your site linking back to theirs. Sometimes the only way to get a link is to pay for it. If that’s the case then try to pay for a permanent link and have them sign a contract. Most websites will give you a permanent link for $50. If you don’t or cant pay for a one-way link, then do a link exchange where both your site and theirs link to each other.
If you want to get a one way link for free from another site, here is how to do it. You must create a friendship with the webmaster. Write an introductory email, build a friendship before asking for link. Another way to do it is to contact webmaster in a very honest direct way including your link in your email. The best way is to call webmaster and talk to them in person. It’s much harder for people to say no on the phone. Let them know that you enjoy their site, value it, tell them about yourself, how you can help their site, maybe by writing content (that their site is currently missing and would be helpful).
When getting a back link, try to get a deep back link. Instead of just linking to your homepage, try to get links to deep portions of your website. This helps the search engine make other sections of your website more popular and give them a higher rank.
Also when getting a back link, try to get the webmaster to put a phrase or keyword that you want to rank for in your anchor text. Make sure to change the anchor text for different backlinks. If you don’t and Google sees that you got a 1000 backlinks with the same anchor text they might think you are spamming.
