6. Submit your site to directories. Especially, niche or specialist directories. Regional directories are also okay. Submitting your site to specialist directories gives your site a greater chance of being picked up by search engines than when you submit to a general directory. Also consider paying for submission to some important directories. For a fee, these directories will index your site in their database within two to five business days.

Some points to note when building one way inbound links.

Your link popularity increases as websites link to you. However, it must be said that it is not number but quality of links that is important. That is, emphasis should be on quality and not quantity. Not all links are equal. Some are more favored (carry more weight) than others. Some of things to keep in mind when carrying out inbound links are;

1. Look for quality sites to acquire links from. A link from Dmoz or Yahoo has more weight than one from a small private web site. Submit to free or paid listings in important directories.

2. The way other sites link to you is very important. Try as much as possible, to see that your keywords are in text link that is linking to you and not your domain name. With your keywords in text link it portrays your site as an authority site for keyword.

3. Acquire links from complementary sites. Sites that are in same industry as yours, but are not your competitors. Links from these type of sites have more weight than from those that are not related to your site.

4. Links from specialist or niche directories also carry more weight than those from less important general directories and your links are easier to find by search engines. When submitting to directories, especially for a fee, be sure to choose a relevant category that is not deep down in directory. Your listing should be at most three clicks away from home page of directory. Some engines will not spider deep down.

5. If you have several websites, link them together in such a way that links are one way inbound links, and not reciprocal links. Also don't share same IP address for sites. All sites should have unique IPs. This you can ensure by using a different host for each web site.

Conclusion.

Acquiring one way inbound links is future of link popularity. Sooner search engines will recognize artificial nature of reciprocal linking in judging authority sites and will discount this in their algorithm or award less points (weight) to reciprocal links. The methods listed above in acquiring one way inbound links are basic, must do actions for every webmaster wishing to stay long at top of search engines.
