It's no secret that having links pointing to your website is
very good for search engine rankings, and gives more ways
for human visitors to find your website.

So, how do you get one-way inbound links to your website?
Well, there are numerous ways, and I am going to focus on
seven of the most effective techniques.

You probably already know about link exchanges as great way
for getting links to your website. However, with link
exchanges, you have to give a reciprocal link back to the
website that is linking to you. In this article I am going
to show you how to get links to your website without giving
a link back.

Ok, here are seven powerful ways for getting one-way inbound
links:

1) Content – Packing your website full of useful content is
one of the best ways to get inbound links. When you have a
lot of content other webmasters will naturally link to you
because your site will be valuable to them and their
visitors.

Some examples of good content to add to your website would
be; free articles, tools, tips, and resources related to
your website theme. You could also have a blog that you
update regularly with fresh content.

2) Testimonials – A big trend on the internet right now is
adding testimonials to websites. The site owners typically
get the testimonials from their site visitors and business
customers. In exchange for the testimonial they usually give
a link back to your website.

Every time you come across a great website, or have a good
experience with a purchase, send a testimonial to the
website owner. If they decide to publish your testimonial
you will get a link to your website. After a while these
links will add up to a significant amount.

3) Online Directories – There are hundreds of online
directories that accept website submissions. This is a very
good technique for getting one way inbound links. Many of
the top directories require you to pay for inclusion or
provide a link back to their directory. You can give the
link back if you want, or pay if you have the extra money.
However, there are also numerous directories that will
accept your website without payment or a link back.

All you have to do is find the ones that accept free
submissions and you will get your one way inbound links. You
can find quite a few directories, and some other great
information about submitting to directories at

4) Articles – Writing articles is one of the best techniques
for getting one-way inbound links to your website. Many
webmasters are looking for more content for their websites
and Ezines. You can provide them with that content by
writing articles and submitting them to websites, Ezines,
and article directories.

In return for your effort you can put a little blurb about
yourself and/or your business, with a link to your website,
at the end of the article. You will rack up a very high
amount of inbound links to your website by utilizing this
technique. I have done it many times with a lot of success.

5) Free E-book – You can write an e-book and offer it for
free in exchange for a link to your website. You can also
put links to your website and other affiliate links in the
e-book. Putting the links in the e-book will increase your
website traffic and affiliate profits.

You are probably thinking that you can't write an e-book.
Well, yes you can! It doesn't have to be some killer piece
of work that you spend months writing. Instead, you can just
make it a collection of your favorite articles, resources,
and tools related to your website theme. As long as it is
useful to your visitors they will gladly link to you in
order to get it.

6) Blogs – There are actually a few ways to get one-way
inbound links with blogs. The first way is simply to host a
blog on your website and update it frequently. People tend
to link to blogs because they provide content that is
constantly being updated.

The second way you can get one-way inbound links with your
blog is to submit it to blog directories. Just like website
directories, there are tons of blog directories on the
internet that you can submit to for free. Just do a search
on Google for "blog directory" and you will find many of
them to submit too.

The third way of getting inbound links with a blog is to
host it somewhere other than on your website. Then, provide
a link from your blog to your website. After you have done
that, you can submit your blog to directories for the extra
page rank and added exposure. Use this third technique with
as many blogs as you have time to update regularly with
quality content.

7) Free Article Directory – Create an article directory on
your website and allow your visitors to submit articles to
it. Ask for a link back to your website in exchange for the
article submission. This will build your inbound links and
create free content for your website. I have successfully
used this technique for quite a while. You can see one of my
article directories at

techniques for getting one-way inbound links to your
website. Get started on them right away and you should see
