And by the way – there is no easy way folks. Sorry for that 🙂

I will tell you and show you different things you can do to get thoses damm backlinks.

Blogs

1. Start a blog. You problerly know much more about your produkt then your viewers and customers. Post regularly and be sure its great content. Sorry folks I told you – no easy way righ
2. From your blog you gotta link to other blogs. Thats the way to be noticed on the internet. Be active.
3. You can get your blog listed in some of the best blog directories (http://blogs.botw.org/). In the end its about getting attention out there.
4. Be active on other blogs. When other bloggers are reading your article and post some of them will link to your blog.

1. Get onto Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/) seach for your service og produkt and answer some quastions – and yes remember to answer with links to your website.

Pay Per Click

1. When you use PPC like Google Adwords you will get peoples attention. Some of the people would never had visit your site without the add. So grab the attention, maybe try to make them sign up for a newsletter. Maybe some of them will link back to your site or blog. YES YES YES I know… I really dont like PPC so much – but sometimes it can be usefull – right?

Freebies and giveaways – Contests

1. In my younger days (yes I have been younger) I didnt like contests. But now I love them – and why? Because they works. A good 200 or 300 dollars prize can generate thousands of links. Make your contest so people will share your link – use a Facebook contest or …
2. Make yourself an expert by providing a lot of tools for your customers. They will return to you when they need a link. Some will link to your page because they wanna show everybody where to find the good tools. (oh boy I need to do that too on this blog).
3. Tell your viewers that if the give you some feedback they will get something. Maybe a whitepaper … or a 7 steps to ….. book.

Do you want me to stop now? No? Okay … the coffee is still hot?

2. Build a 99 or a 101 list
3. Build a list with 10 myths for your category
4. Get a guru or expert to show your authority
