Most website owners rely on quick website tweaks and the right tools for measurable website success. That’s not wrong but that’s also not enough. Being serious about business, a webmaster must get links to get additional exposure via search engines, of course predominantly Google.

Google still judges a website mostly based on the number and quality of links pointing to it (backlinks). So even today you got to get links, be it via outstanding content, viral campaigns or just conventional link building. Still most people do not take all the measures easily available on the Web today. Some have been around for ages, others just popped up recently. Check the 30 easiest ways to get links and exposure.

Instant Link Building

• Submit to paid web directories free ones are often low quality lately
• Submit to a few quality article directories
• Send out a press releases via a few online services
• Answer questions on Yahoo Answers etc. and in forums
• Add resources to user generated content sites like Zimbio, Associated Content or others
• Ask your friends, family, employees to link to you
• Add your link to your profiles on Web 2.0 services like MySpace, Twitter (in the Bio) or Propeller

Common Linking Incentives

• Get a Delicious badge, and display the number of bookmarks as well as the tags
• Offer a badge of honor, something like “a carbon neutral site”
• Offer a button for voting to install on other websites & blogs
• Offer a widget for bloggers, something useful that will spread by itself
• Stage a contest, it should be fun and the prizes should be worth it
• Organize a blog carnival choosing a topic that matters for many people
• Link out plenty, especially to bloggers, some will link back others will bookmark, some links will appear directly as ping and trackbacks
• Contact people who might link to you (I do not mean a reciprocal link request)
• Mirror a popular high traffic site, all the webhosters do it that way
• Give away content with a creative commons license, especially if you can offer images or music (or other audio)
• Let people translate your content and republish it for free
• Link Bait Ideas and Practices

Praise experts in your area who have blogs

• “Pull a Calacanis” - Say something stupid to stir controversy (like “SEO is bullshit” or “Web directories are Web 3.0″)
• Be the first to break a story, indeed check original sources first before just recycling news
• Write a useful list, “100 ways of something” always get linked
• Give away a real freebie, a fee version of your product, should be valuable for users
• Use images of barely clad ladies, sorry I mean beautiful women to illustrate your point
• Support a cause, like Blogcatalog does
• Write something unbelievable, intriguing or that “strikes a chord”
• Do something useful for the Linkerati, a list of Digg users who blog for instance
• Create something for the lowest common denominator, best topic is cute cats
• Declare something alive and kicking dead but in a way it makes sense
• Say something funny like “SEO is Dad”

paid directories will give priority to your site but you can always submit to the free ones.
