2. Website Promotion through reciprocal linking.

When other people put a link to your site on their site, you get free website promotion. You also get a shot at a better search engine ranking for your page. All of the big three search engines (Google, Yahoo, and MSN) use inbound relations as an important part of the formula that determines a page’s rank.

Be aware though that this variety of free website promotion is not a numbers game; it’s the quality of the links that really matters. So you want to focus your reciprocal linking efforts on relevant quality links. The standard procedure is to search for and identify relevant sites that you would like to have link to yours and then send each webmaster an email requesting a link on their site, offering a link on your site in return.

And if you get your articles published on popular, prolonged websites or in well-known magazines, they can be sitting there giving you free website promotion for a long, long time with no further effort on your part.

However, there are catches. First, you have to be able to write well on a topic or topics that other people will want to read and/or publish. Second, you have to find the quality places for your articles to be published and sway the people making the decisions to publish them. When you find them, send an email asking if they can use a particular piece, with your article so they can look at it right away if they’re interested. Be sure your email mentions that they are welcome to publish the piece for free. Also be sure that your piece ends with a resource box or ‘blurb’ that promotes you and your website.
