LINK BUILDING STRATEGY- GET LINKED

Your basic goal as a money-making blogger is to get as many links as

possible to and from your site across the World Wide Web. The basic concept of link building is to get as much links of your sites sprinkled all over the web, which will build your traffic by having more exposure to your site.

Here are some simple and effective link building strategies:

1. put yourself in your reader's shoes.
Who are your potential blog visitors? You need to understand their search behaviour before you know how to market to them. Imagine you were a reader wanting to find out about designer sunglasses for instance, where they would look - designer blogs, design search engines, celebrity sites perhaps...so if you had a blog on designer sunglases it woud make sense to go to these sites and exchange links.

1. Get yourself a free email address that is NOT hotmail or gmail (eg. yahoo). This should be a throwaway address to be used for registering with search engines.
