Link building is incredibly important. Once you have created a great page I think that you are very well advised to optimize that page as much as possible. You know, title tag, header tag optimized keywords… anyway if you do not know that we can get into that another time. To build links from other sites to yours creates a nice warm feeling of trust to those search engines and the links are always good for traffic month in and month out. I just found a great article on the best startegies to get new links to your blog and thought I would share.

Five Link Building Strategies That Work | Copyblogger

 For sure check out the article but I want to give my 2 cents as well

Social media – If you can get a technological bent out of a story then you can submit to Digg or Reddit or any number of social networking sites. If you are trying to make Adsense or affiliate money from that link it is a lost cause in my opinion but if your content is good then you will get a lot of links and  that is the goal of thgis article right?

Linking out – Make sure that you write a lot of articles like this one. Link to an original story and then add to that story by providing your insights.

Networking emails – email other like minded bloggers for a link. I really don’t like this one, it is a lot like buying links

Guest appearances – If you get bored writing or run out of ideas then why not hand off your blog for a week and have someone else write in yours while you write in theirs. This is a great way to get new ideas and keep yourself fresh.

Article Directories – This is one that I have always liked to use. Change up a blog post and post to ezinearticles.com or/and goarticles.com
