10 One Way Link Building Tips For More Traffic And Higher Search Engine Rankings

Whether it's one way link building or a link exchange, getting a lot of links to your web site or blog is the absolute best way to guarantee traffic.

Search engine algorithms change constantly. You never know when one of your top rankings might up and disappear.

But if you are generating a ton of traffic because you have a whole bunch of links all over the internet that point back to your site, you'll be okay.

Whether it's one way links or a link exchange, getting backlinks to your blog will guarantee you traffic for years to come.

Quality one way link building is becoming a more and more important part of any traffic generation strategy.

Here are 10 one way link building ideas you can use to start generating one way links back to your site or blog.

1. Forum Posting - Yes, this link building strategy has been around awhile. There's a reason. It works.

You can generate traffic to your site by being active in forums about your niche.

You may not get link love in the search engines but by being a helpful and active member of a forum you will get traffic.

2. High Quality Directories - Consider submitting your site to high quality directories like Dmoz.org

3. Blog Comments - While this can be time intensive, like forum posting, and you aren't guaranteed a significant amount of traffic for your time invested, making quality blog comments on high traffic blogs in your niche can be a way to generate traffic via one way links.

And the more blogs in which you develop a presence via commenting, the more people become aware of you.

4. Trackbacks - When you find high quality content on top blogs in your niche, write about them on your own blog and trackback to the specific blog post in question.

This will create a trackback link to your blog in the comment section of their blog.

It stands out a little more in the comments section and will get the attention of the blog's owner.

This could also lead to an opportunity via the next one way links tip.

5. Guest Blogging - After you've been making quality comments for awhile, contact the blog owners to see if they are open to having you write some articles for their blog as a guest blogger.

This is a great way to piggyback on the experts in your niche and create real awareness (and traffic) of your blog.

6. Article Directories - A great one way link building strategy.

I've used this one very effectively in building a content site that gets over 1,000 unique (and free) visitors per day.

That traffic comes from over 1,500 different referrers every month. That's because of submitting a lot of articles to article directories like EzineArticles.com.

This can be a very effective way to generate one way links back to your site, not to mention traffic.

7. Web 2.0 Authority Sites (Squidoo, Hub Pages) - Used properly sites like Squidoo and Hub Pages can do two things very effectively.

They can get you top rankings in the search engines for the pages you create on these sites and they can generate high quality one way links to your web site or blog.

Creating a presence on Squidoo or Hub Pages is quite easy.

It's very important that you create something worthwhile with high quality content that people will find useful.

Not only will this help in getting high search engine rankings, people will want to click through on your links to your main site.

These pages are a crucial part of any one way link building strategy and can generate a lot of traffic.

8. Remote Blogging - Remote blogging is nothing more than setting up blogs in your niche on sites like Blogger.com or Wordpress.com.

You then create quality content to post on these blogs and use one way links back to your main site for people to find more information on that topic.

9. Bookmarking - Create account at social bookmarking sites and then bookmark quality content on your site.

Set up various accounts at OnlyWire and get an account at Stumble Upon as well.

10. Web 2.0 Social Community Sites (MyBlogLog, SpicyPage, Bumpzee) - Create accounts at these sites and then actively participate in various communities about your niche and build up your list of friends.

Utilize these 10 one way link building strategies and before you know it, you'll not only have high quality one way links back to your site or blog, you'll also be getting a flood of targeted traffic.

Oh, and higher search engine rankings are a nice side effect.
