Hi Cory

Incoming links is by far the most important thing when it comes to SEO. Unfortunately, it can also be the hardest thing. No one can really sit you down and say “Here is how you get your links:” Getting links is almost out of your hands.

What you can do, is sit down for a little while, and brainstorm about what you can offer to other people, that will make them want to link to you. Whether it is by writing about something that is so powerful that everyone wants to share it and link it on their sites, or by contacting other webmasters, and making friendships with them. The links will come over time, but you really need to get a game plan going. Partnerships really can be a great way to get some links. If you ever come across a site that you think would provide you with a good link (which is relevant to your site of course) make sure that you have something you can offer them first. Don’t approach them before you have something in return. People are nice, but make sure you bring something to the table too.

For example, if you sell beauty supplies, and you want to contact a beauty supply reviewer or critic, why not offer to send them your products for free, so that they can test them out and then write about the products while linking back to your site.

That is what I mean by thinking outside the box. So take a few moments and come up with some really good ways of offering something to other sites so that it makes sense for them to link to yours.

Thanks

Keep the wonderful material coming—thanks!
