The main thing on acquiring backlinks is the rate at which they are gained - they need to appear organic and as such simply gaining 1000s of backlinks in one week and then never picking up anymore for a month will keep your site sandboxed in oblivion.
One method is regular articles to different article directories - if submitted at a distributor, then it can gain a lot of backlinks through time.
Alternatively investing in distributing articles with relevant links in them will cost some money - it really depends on the cost of your marketing budget. There is no need to submit 100 articles one week then do the same a couple of months later.
It is better to submit on a regular basis with unique content that is relevant to your website that contains 1-3 links through the content and the about author section. It could mean a weekly budget of 1 article per week for 2 yrs and achieve much better long term results than submitting 100 articles in batches. The main benefit is that it is more organic than receiving 1000s of links one week then none for 2 months, this way you receive varying numbers of new links each week (and staggered as well as not every article gets approved as soon as it is submitted).
Simply listing in traditional directories will give you inbound links and enable search engines to spider your site, however, they will not add any significant pagerank or drive any significant traffic - the primary role is to enable search engines to find your site much easier and thereby crawling your site regularly.
Obviously, if you have found a niche that is rewarding and does not have too much competition, then a couple of links is all that is needed to gain better serps as the natural linking will happen due to the niche itself. |
