2. This article gives advice and information on how to
increase traffic to your website. There is obviously no
point in having a superb looking, content rich site if only a
few people can see it.
3. One of the best ways of gaining additional traffic is to
build up the number of backward links you have pointing
to your website. The best form of link is a one-way link,
where a website adds a link to your site but does not get
one back from you. There are a number of ways of
obtaining these type of links including:
4. Writing articles. Writing articles like this one has many
benefits. Other webmasters may add the article to their
blog or website and this creates you a one-way link. The
people reading the article are also potential visitors to
your site.
5. Purchasing a text-link advert on a quality site. If the site in
question has a high page rank value, this is then passed
onto your site. The advert itself just like any advert can
also attract people to your site.
6. Joining in debates in various forums. I enjoy reading and
contributing to forums. Not only do I learn a great deal, I
am also able to get links back to my sites when I make a
comment.
8. Making comments on other peoples blogs. This is my least
favourite of all of these examples as it can be seen as
spam. Other people however do think it can prove to
beneficial. I must say that I stay away from anything that
could be seen as spam.
9. Where possible the website which includes a link to your
site needs to be in the same industry as your own website.
These backward links have a much higher value in the eyes
of the search engines.
10. I have to admit that it is extremely hard to obtain these
type of links especially on a one-way basis.
11. What we therefore need is a solution and here it is. I
believe it is a good idea to build a network of sites on the
same theme as the main website. Each of the sites in the
network has a link pointing to the main site and after
promoting each of the sites, you will then have a number
of themed and powerful one-way backward links which
will make the original site like an authority in its own field.
12. If you are struggling to find content you could use other
peoples articles to help you. It is a good idea to have each
of the sites in the network on a different server. This
however can be very expensive and therefore for a smaller
business may not be best advice.
13. To help fund the cost of the network you could add google
adsense onto all of the new sites. This may not bring in
huge amounts of money but could go some way to helping
with hosting and domain renewal costs.
14. In the future this network could be worth thousands of
pounds if you have spent enough time promoting each
site. At this stage you have the option of selling the
network and relaxing or enjoying the benefits yourself
that it will no doubt bring.
15. I believe the writing of quality articles for re-print and the
building of themed network websites is the future of the
internet for people who want to be successful
webmasters. Good luck.
