If you are looking for an effective method of multiplying your links, you should try offering an option to other website owners, allowing them to give your items away free. However, there is a catch, they must, in exchange, place a link to your website on their own.
You may be question why any website owner would be willing to do this type of thing. If so, here’s why…
Essentially, website owners love offering their visitors a value, what better value is there, than free. Freebies have a way of luring visitors to a website. For one reason or another, rather it be because they lack skills, knowledge, or time to create freebies electronically to offer their customers, therefore, they will turn to you and accept your offer.
You will find that the multiplying factor continues to grow. It’s a domino effect: one webmaster offers the freebies, then before you know it other visitors decide they want to give away freebies as well, and your links keep coming.
The benefit? By increasing links, you are improving your website ranking on the search engines. Backlinks are imperative to successful and high rankings on the search engines, a major part of SEO. Essentially, the more backlinks you have to your website, the more traffic you get, the better your ranks in the search engines.
