Today I have an alternative to that called back-linking. This is a fast & easy to implement trick.

All you need is a web site of your own. Yes, if you have a site, you can add your blog URL to it. The only requirement would be that both urls are in the same niche or sub-niche because you don’t want to have a link on a cat-related site going to a dog-related blog.

Know what I mean?

This is an often misunderstood tactic which most bloggers and site owners rarely apply to their sites.

Here’s why you’d want to add the blog url to your current site:

1. Blogs are tracked in real-time. As I publish this post, blog search engines like technorati get notified about this blog entry. This means your new entries get linked to instantly.

2. Blogs are much easier and more often updated than regular web sites. That’s not a secret anymore. You don’t have to create a new page for each and every new article you write. You simply write the post and publish it. WordPress will take care of this all by itself. Your increase in content will boost your visibility and get you more links.

3. Blogs get linked by other blogs, period. If you run a regular web site that isn’t a blog, you will have a harder time getting links from bloggers because we mostly read and follow other blogs which have up-to-date content, and rarely link to stand alone sites.

Your mission right now is to implement this tip. If you already have a back-link to your blog url on your site, congratulations!
