I get a lot of people contacting me these days to swap links but reciprocal linking just doesn’t work like it used to, so how does one increase traffic through linking then. Well personally I have more than one blog in each of my niches. This allows me to target traffic slightly differently but also I can offer one way links by doing three way linking.

But the there are other ways to get those one way links for yourself.

You Can Start Writing Keyworded Articles.

I write articles with a few things in mind but when I am publishing them other than on my own blogs I try to write them so that other bloggers will want them on their web sites. I then publish them on EzineArticles.com, as they get indexed quickly so I start getting traffic sooner than other article directories.

When I am writing articles to publish, about fishing or gardening, I focus on how to accomplish a task, which others want to learn and share with their readers.

Spend Some Time On Forums Helping Others

I don’t do this as much as I used to, forums can be quite addictive. But get onto some forums that are in your niche and start sharing and helping others.

Most forums allow a signature in your profile which appears after each post your write. A great way to get a one way backlink to your pages.

Don’t waste your time if you think you can go to a forum and just leave spammy posts and replies. You will just get banned and no one will ever come to your site.

Get Your Sites Listed In Directories

I get emails all the time from people asking me to list my site in their directory. It’s worth your time to find directories that have pagerank and get your sites listed in the appropriate category. You could get a lot of traffic this way and it can be quite targeted as well.

Comment On Blog Posts

Get out there into the market and find related blogs. Start commenting on then and linking to relevant pages on your own blogs.

Don’t be spammy and always try to be the first to leave a comment. Make the comment of value to the post and you will get traffic. You may even make a new friend if you continue to add value to other’s posts.

And finally do the social networking thing, just leave yourself enough time to create compelling content or your visitors may never return.
