Building websites or blogs to make money online is a bit of a gold rush at the moment. Everyones reading about it and trying their hand at building a web business. Many fail quite early on because they’re lead to believe that it’s all quick and simple. It is simple but it’s definately not quick.

The initial stages of building web pages and writing content are easy and enjoyable, but it’s when you come to the traffic building stage that people get stuck and tend to give up. Building traffic is a labourious task that takes a lot of time, but the worst thing about it is that you won’t see the fruits of your labour for months.

Obviously there are different areas within traffic building, like SEO (using keywords in your content) and link building. In this article I’m going to talk about link building. Link building is when a web master gets as many links as possible from other websites to point to his own site. By doing this the google algorithm can see that his site is popular and therefore relevant, so the site gets ranked higher in the organic searches. This gets him more vistors (for free) and therefore more money.

To build links most webmasters will find websites that are similar to theirs, in the terms of information, and email the webmaster asking to exchange links (you put their link on your site, and they do the same for you). However you’ll find that most people won’t bother replying because they don’t want to link to website with a low PR (Pagerank) which is what you will have.

But it’s ok because there are other ways to get inbound links. You can write articles like this one and place your link in the resource box at the bottom. I can then submit this article to lots of different article directories and that will count as a link for each submission. So with one article I could potentially build maybe 30 links. 

There is also forum posting, which is fairly simple. Go onto to different forums (only ones that relate to your site) and post useful information but place your link at the bottom of each post you make. Each post will count as a new incoming link. Just make sure what you’re saying is useful, otherwise you’re just spamming. Also similar to forum posting is commenting on blogs. It’s the same principle but just using the comments section at the bottom of someones blog post.

And lastly you can submit your site to different web directories. These directories are pretty much just like telephone books except for internet sites. It’s a simple process of following the steps they provide.

*One last thing before I finish. When you’re placing your link, make sure the text that people will click on contains the keyword phrase your site is optimized for. For example if my website’s main keyword is “Build Muscle” I would make that the clickable text that links to my site. The search engines like this, it make sthe link more powerful.

How often do you wish you could work for a couple of minutes a day and earn thousands each month? You can make money online and take control of your life.
