Want to get more website traffic? Easy! Build more links. A common question I see asked over and over, however, is specifically how to get more links to a site. There are tons of answers to this and hundreds of ways to link build.

Some link building methods take lots of time, some create mediocre links, and others have just the right combination of quality link building for the time invested.

In this post, we?ll cover just a few of the leveraged link building techniques that I?ve used. When I say leveraged link building, these are not necessarily the best links to acquire, but they?re either fairly easy to get, or they maximize time you?re spending anyway. Add them to your arsenal as you see fit.


1. Build more, quality, linkable content. I?m sure you?ve heard the term "linkbait." Linkbait is website content that tends to attract links. It often is characterized by flashy headlines, resource lists, or controversial subjects. That?s one way to create content that will attract links.

But, I?m actually talking about going beyond that here. Simply creating a useful resource that provides good information can go a long way to attracting links. And, you put a page up once and promote it a little, and it continues to attract links.

2. Comment on other people?s blogs and forums. If you comment on 2 blogs a day, and you make 5 posts each on 2 forums every week, then at the end of the week, you?ll have 24 new links per week. That?s over 1200 links per year that you wouldn?t have had if you didn?t do this. Even if you only do 1/4 of that, that?s 300 links per year added on.

I?m sure you can comment on one blog or make one forum post a day (with a link in your signature). If you do just one per day, that?s 365 additional links per year, and you?re sure to get more website traffic from it.
