List of Link building strategies

This will be my first post that actually isn't an article but just a list of ways you can promote your website through various sites and services.

#1 Directory submissions - There are many free web directories out there, why not take advantage and submit your site to them. Get a big list together and submit to 10-20 directories a day.

#2 Article Directories - Make a few articles or hire someone to write articles for you. At the end of the article include some links with anchor text. The same goes for this, get a list together of top PR article directories and submit your article to them or hire someone to do it.

#3 Forum posting/Community posting - There are so many forums out there you can post on, whether it be a forum that is related to your site or just a webmaster forum. Most will allow a signature link. Take advantage of this and put your links in your signature. You may also have the opportunity to mention your site if the post is relevant to doing so.

#4 Social Bookmarks & Communities - Sites like Digg and stumbleupon are very popular and only two of many high traffic social websites. Take advantage of these free services and submit your feeds/articles or websites to them. These generate backlinks and traffic to your site.

#5 Blogs/Blogging - Now days everyone and their grandma has a blog, so why not start your own? You can make a blog about something you enjoy and let the world know about it. At the same time you can post a link to your website or also talk about your site which will increase the traffic. Or leave comments on other blogs and post a link to your site, in result giving your site a backlink (as long as no follow is off).

#6 Link Exchange - This one can be a little more difficult to do. But if you know other webmasters who have sites similar to yours you can ask if they are interested in exchanging links with you. Both of you will benefit.

#7 Craigslist - One of the biggest online classified sites now days, you can be creative and post a classified and also post a link to your site from craigslist. If your classified is popular enough you can get some extra traffic, but don't rely on the backlink too much because most posts on there only last a limited time.

#8 Press Release - Getting a Press Release out can really get alot of exposure on some PR sites. And you may even have the chance to get your Press Release featured on a search engine like Yahoo or Google, which will greatly increase your traffic.

#9 Be Creative! - There are many other ways to increase your links and traffic from sites.. ill just mention a few Flick.com a PR9 site.. yes getting links from them are possible if you do some research.
