* It is well worth the time to write great content as opposed to lots of decent content. The best articles are the ones that attract most links and land on good websites.

* If you figure out something cool or unique, write about it and keep the content on your site and create a buzz using social media. Links will surely come.

* Write content for your own site first. You will get the links pointing back at your site for having the original content.

* Syndicate your RSS feed, not your article content. Instead of publishing your duplicate content everywhere, keep the content on your site and ping services like technorati, twitter, facebook, and anywhere you can publish your site’s feed. Get visitors on your site and then give them an opportunity to bookmark or share your content via social media.

* Quality directories are still valid. you can have a good success from getting listed in the top human-edited directories, especially local and regional ones. Avoid the free-for-all sites and focus on the ones that add value to users.

* Guest Blogging is a new hot-topic which is also worth doing. Finding relevant websites to post content to is a good way to get quality inbound links and brand awareness. In many cases, you can get content for your site as well if you establish a good partnership with a complementary website or blog.

* Reciprocal links are not all bad. It is natural for complementary websites to link to one another, so the emphasis is on relevance. You can exchange links with relevant and complementary websites, but not with just any site. You want to make sure you are linking to reputable websites too.

* Don’t Spam. Search engines (like Google) mostly update their algorithms to do one of two things: to increase the relevance of the search results and to battle spam in their index. If you keep things relevant and avoid spam tactics, your rankings should remain intact as long as their isn’t a fundamental shift in how websites and pages are ranked.

* Use Q&A Sites like Yahoo Answers, Answers.com, Wikianswers, Linkedin, etc., to promote yourself and your content.

* Set up Google alerts for topics you are interested on and participate on those conversations.

* Get the experts (your clients) to write the content with our guidance. determine a unique set of keywords we are tarketing, we will give them a list of topics covering the keyword range.

So content continues to be the king when promoting a Website through link building. Great content will make the link building task much much easier.

Limited Offer at Digital Point forums: Get LINKS from 5,000 quality websites for FREE!

I have been checking a new site that offers Website and Blog promotion services: tnx.net. It sounds pretty interesting. They offer you ways to promote your Website or Blog through links.

TNX.net offers a program for both Advertisers and Publishers in which they state:

Advertisers can build links on related Sites or Blogs that will help you increase your rankings on Search Engines, receive targeted traffic from relevant sites at low prices and create and manage your own campaigns through an easy to use interface.

Publishers will be able to sell links on every page of their site automatically to many advertisers, receive payouts every month and install the code on your site very easily (copy-paste method).

Due to the recent launch of TNX-worldwide version, they are giving away up to 5,000 points that you can use to buy links from up to 5,000 websites, when you join their program.

So I went to Digital Point forums where they have the offer of free text link ads and checked the comments others have left about the site’s offer, it seems they are pretty serious about it.

Then I joined their network and created my own account as an advertiser and a publisher and got my free 5,000 points on the next day accredited to my account. Installed a publisher code on my site and created my own ad campaign with the 5000 bonus points I received for joining their program. I’m waiting for my campaign approval.

They also offer an affiliate program, it’s a way of sending them quality traffic and earn some extra money with your site. I’m thinking of joining their affiliate program also, I’m just waiting to see how it goes with the campaign I created on their site.

As Website and Blog owners, we’re always looking for ways to promote our sites effectively at low costs and make money. So check the site, you never know, it might be a good way for you to promote your site or make some extra money. As always we advise, read carefully and thoroughly the site’s information.

1. Does the directory itself (the home page) rank for any of the moderately competitive terms in it’s title…
2. Do the pages inside the directory rank well for their targeted phrases…
3. Check the links to the directory – do they appear legitimate and valuable…
4. Check out mentions of the domain on the web…
5. Check the page strength – do they have links from edu and gov domains? Are they listed in places like dmoz or Wikipedia?…
