To Build links is important for website rankings, but building links is not the easiest thing to accomplish. When people get to know you hopefully they will want to link to your site. To help them along, give them some content they can’t resist.

A website is your place in cyberspace. When people learn how great you and your products are, they can let others know about you. Linking to your website is one way to do that. It is also called a backlink. It is a link to your site on their website or blog.

There are two kinds of inbound links: reciprocal links and organic links. Reciprocal links are those that you get when you agree to swap links with another site. It could be a friend who wants to help you out and vice verse. Getting links like this is okay but not the best when it comes to moving up in the ranks. You have to look at the quality of the sites that you are linking with. They may offer to swap links but if the site is not optimized, reputable and/or well-presented it can backfire. You can be marked down for poor link building. And paying for links isn’t much better. After you have worked so hard on your site, you don’t want it to go to waste like that.

Organic links come from those who are not asked to link to you. They have heard about you (through your stellar marketing campaign) and want to let others know something awesome is in their midst. These links are rated higher by search engines. When you are just getting started it is hard to get links like this.

- Use your content to build links.

Writing content that is optimized for keywords in your niche can rank high. Others will click on you first. Sites within your niche that are trying for those higher spots will check you out to see why they can’t knock you off the top.

- Establish expert status.

Post content to article directories. Write for other blogs. Being found in other places increases your visibility and adds to your credibility. Everyone wants to be associated with an expert.

- Comment on blogs within your target market.

Go to where your potential customers are. Give sound advice and add a link to your website. Pretty soon these people may become loyal readers who will link from their blogs to your website.

Whether you are a newcomer, or an experienced marketer, you need to pay attention to building your list. There are plenty of ways to do it, so long as you start from having great content on yur site.

These are the top 5 tips that I have found work every time for me, and they will for you too.

This is a no-brainier, but sadly few people make the most of it. If you have a 100 page website, you should have 100 newsletter subscribe boxes on your website.

How? Well you can integrate a subscribe box just about anywhere on a website or add a pop up window (still very effective.) What about just before an article starts, in the middle of an article or even at the end of the article?

This works well if the free offer is something that will help or be useful to the visitor. The best way is to create one yourself and not offer something you have reprint rights to with 500 other people.

You want it to be unique, and to complement your newsletters topics so you could adapt something from PLR or offer back issues of your newsletter.

A great way to get lots of new subscribers for your e-zine without spending a penny on advertising is to create an e-book as a free product. Offer it to visitors to the site, or to other website owners in your niche with reprint rights to the product so they can sell your product while making 100% commission in the process.

I prefer the reprint right route because people are more likely to read and value a book they have paid for. It’s important that you protect your product by ensuring your e-book is in .pdf format so it can’t be changed and that your details appear all the way through it.

Find a group of publishers in your market, let them know you created a new e-book with a sales letter that they can use and plug straight into their website. Give them a mailing promotion to use and tell them they can have the book for free, and that they can either sell the book or give the book to their customers as a bonus.

Audio interviews are a great idea to get more subscribers in non internet marketing circles. Interviewing experts over the phone and recording it will get your newsletter splashed all over the Internet.

Do you know how to find experts in any field almost instantly? Go to the top article directories, such as submityourarticle.com, then look for your particular niche in the relevant category.

Contact the most popular writers and get in touch to say you want to interview them as your subscribers would be really interested in their information.

Most will do this without charging you a penny for a good plug for their product or website and, once you have these interviews, tell all the publishers you’ve been in contact with from tip 3 that you have this great set of MP3 interviews you want to offer them for free to their lists.

Then you setup a page on your website with the download link to these mp3’s and put a subscribe form near them for your newsletter. You will be surprised how many people will sign up after they listen to your interviews, but DO NOT make them sign up for your newsletter before they get do so – it only puts people off.

Sometimes people are hesitant to give any sort of information away over the Internet, especially their email address even if what you are offering is free. But if you allow people to read your back issues without having to sign up for your newsletter, this will show them what type of content you write and will make them want to join.

Make sure you tell them on the website that newsletter subscribers get each issue a month before it is published on the website for non subscribers and if the information is especially time sensitive they will definitely want to subscribe.

It doesn’t matter if you are running a membership or a sales site because I have successfully tried and tested all these tips. If you are serious about building your list then these tips are the ones to try first.
