How do I get other websites to link to me?

Have you asked this question? Most website owners and designers have.



The basic, best answer to getting those links is to create good content. Create information that others will want their readers to have access to.

You'll get some links just because another site thinks yours is worth linking to but you do need to put in some effort. Most things in life are valuable when you work for them.



Be a friend to the Internet. Create interesting information. Compile lists. Do the research.



Once you have good content you'll need to look for websites that will actually want to link to you

My motto with SEO is that it's a "cinch by the inch" Don't feel as though SEO is a job you can do once and it's done. Search changes daily as new websites, blogs and forums are being added to the internet every minute. Keep your eyes and your mind open. Change one small thing a day and your site will improve it's search status.
