:: Take These Links to the Search Engine Bank ::

The most challenging aspect of developing a successful Internet promotional campaign is generating enough links (in both the short term and the long term) to garner a competitive listing on top algorithmic search engines.

It should come as no surprise that, despite search engines' efforts to emphasize recency, the explosion of chatter related to the value in social media, or the low cost/high return of e-mail marketing, the vast majority of consumers continue to use traditional search to initially locate topics of interest to them. That means building the number and quality of inbound links remains the most important project you will undertake as a Web professional.

Since more links equal more traffic, what you need are more links, right? Most sites are lacking enough links to make a difference when it comes to developing an ongoing stream of traffic to their site for the keywords they need to convert users to clients/readers/advocates, etc. Let's start changing all that.

If you have a weblog and are using it to promote yourself or your company, you'll need exposure. Submit your website to these 30-plus directories and you'll be on your way to taking higher search result pages listings to the bank. Readers will notice that the sites listed are in no particular order. Data is provided by Compete.com, Quantcast.com, Google (PageRank), Ranking.com, and Alexa.com.
