Link Popularity - How to Use 3 Secrets to Massively Increase Your Inbound TrafficPosted by Bonnie Holscher on March 16th, 2010

When I got started on the internet in 2007, I had a lot of learning to do. Some was trial and error. Some was proven methods I learned from my mentors. But for the most part, I studied many of the already successful people who had built their businesses on the internet. What they did, how they did it and why they did what they did. There was one area that I did not grasp at first but learned the extreme importance within the past year.

How do I attract visitors to my websites is a question asked by so many trying to become successful in internet marketing. The answer was in how to build link popularity to your website. I thought, as most newbies do, that once you put a website or blog up, it will automatically bring visitors and they will easily find you. That is far from the truth and a disappointment to the beginner just getting started. The internet is a vastness that need to be utilized by linking your website or blog with inbound links. There are millions of websites out there in cyberspace and the more you have linking to your website the more you will be found and visited by the millions of people that use the internet today.

One of the most important things to remember when building your website or blog is keywords. Find out what people are searching for and use those words to attract visitors to your site. Use them in your titles, on your pages and everywhere there is a place to insert keywords for your work. This makes it easier for the search engines to find you and drive traffic to you.

Another way to drive traffic to your site is to write articles. This is a very effective way to increase traffic to your site. Make sure at the bottom of each of your articles you have an author biography and the link back to your website. Submit to several article directories and watch you popularity rise. Be patient because it will take a little time to become noticed so be persistent. Don’t stop at one or two, write articles on a regular basis. Two article directories you can started with are EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com.

One more thing you can do to get more recognition for the search engines is to comment on other peoples’ blogs and include a link to your website. Make sure they are relevant to you niche or topic. If you have a website, you must make sure that all your pages are linked to the homepage so the search engines can assign a popularity to each of the pages in your website.
