Free One Way Text Links
As an Internet marketer the most important objective is to make money selling a product or service online through your website, so that you can have total control of your business transactions. After building your website, you then realize that you need to get people landing on your site daily in great numbers before you can make a sale.
Paid text links/ paid text link ads thru a text ads broker (Risky, not natural and Google may penalize sites for doing this in the future. As an alternative, you may want to locate relevant sites with a high PageRank (PR) of say 4 and up and that have very few outbound links. Contact these sites directly or you could have an SEO firm handle this for you, you may have to pay for a permanent link on their site or you could convince them to link to you for offering them something of value in return.)
One way free links could be get through free Submission into directories that allow one way link submission. Links need to be added only in the relevant categories. Few directories submit link immediately. But most of the directories go for manual review of the site that whether they are relevant to the category stated or not and after review they approve or reject the website. The duration of the review may range from one week to several months and it normally differs for one directory to another.
You should also know that backlinks can be characterized as either reciprocal or one way. Reciprocal links occur when each site gives a backlink to the other. A one way backlink occurs when there is only one hyperlink, from one site to the other without a corresponding hyperlink in the reverse direction. These days, a one way text link is given much more weight by the search engines, so these are the sorts of hyperlinks you should try to get.
Webmaster have realized the importance search engines attached to link popularity for top search engine positioning and have therefore resorted to reciprocal linking. However, in the near future this strategy will become obsolete, because these links are artificial links. Not generated voluntarily. And so they do not indicate a site as being an authority site.
The solution is simple. You do not need to pay for these backlinks, because you can get them for free. Any site owner would gladly agree to publish your unique content (be it article or blog post) and will not touch your backlinks in the article.Of course, negotiating this stuff with dozens of site owners in your niche takes time. But today there are free communities where the site owners join to get your content republished, and promise not to touch your backlinks.
You can set up a linking strategy with another webmaster to set up a link back structure, ie. he links to your site and rather than link straight back to the site he links from, you link to another one of his sites. So one way links are created and they look “natural”. This is an effective strategy but too labourious for my liking.
In fact, if the truth be known, you could probably even put a link to the PDF on your site so ANYONE can download it. Make them have to fill in a small form to get it (name & email address) and then add their name to your (upcoming) 🙂 email newsletter. That way, even if you don’t make a sale so far as a booking goes, at least you have a good incentive for people to give you their email address in exchange for downloading the vouchers for the location they are interested in.

How directories affect a websites success
Building backlinks is essential to a websites success. To make money online your website has to get traffic. Building backlinks is one of the most important factors. Backlinks help your website to get ranked in the search engines and the more you have the better your Search Engine Ranking Position (SERPs). The higher your position in the search engines, the more traffic your website will get. Of course there are other ways to get traffic to a website, but building backlinks is an essential ingredient for doing so.
Submitting your website to Web Directories is a useful way of building backlinks. Web Directories are like the internets phone book. Like a physical phone book, web directories list entries that offer services/information or products for sale. If you own a business, you want your business to be shown to every potential customer available.
With each directory, physical or online, you can choose a category for your business to appear under. For example if you own a plumbing business, you want your advert to be placed under the plumbing section in the local yellow pages. Web Directories offer a category for your website to be placed under, so if you own a football merchandise website, you may want to place your website under the category of sport.
Also with a Web Directory you can choose certain keywords, known mostly as tags. These tags are useful for when someone searches a directory looking for a particular service or product. For example, you own a plumbing business in the UK. You may wish to place a tag saying “Plumbing services UK”. When a search is done for “Plumbing services UK” your website will be found under the search results.
Other benefits of a directory submission are one way backlinks. A one way backlink is just as it sounds, its one way. This means you do not have to link back to that website, they link to you. There are a different types of web directories around, but most directories are free and do not require a reciprocal link (a link back to their site).
Choosing a directory to submit to is easy. There are now thousands of directories all over the internet offering you a listing free of charge. Although it is quite quick and easy to submit your website for inclusion, listing the details and pressing submit, doing this for the thousands of directories out there can be quite a daunting task. Lets face it, time is money and most of us do not have hours/days to spare doing the same thing over and over, even if the benefits are greatly rewarding.
So lets face it, time is money. We have all heard the saying but it is true, you have built a website today, you want people to be visiting by tomorrow. Well one way to save time and money is to pay someone to do the work for you. That means using a small amount of your set-up budget to have another business go to each and every directory and submit the information for you. Meaning you will benefit from the hundreds/thousands of one way backlinks without any of the effort. The best thing about using another company to do the work for you is the experience that company has in its field. Most companies that offer a directory submission services know their markets, know their clients wants/needs and most of all know the best places to submit your website information to.
The way in which all websites, not only web directories, are ranked in order of importance is something called Page Rank. A website is scored between zero and ten, with zero being the lowest and ten being the highest. A Manual Directory Submission Service can offer your website a chance at being placed into high ranked web directories, giving you highly ranked backlinks. The more of these you get the more the search engines see your website as being important to them. The more the search engines see your website as being important, the higher your website will be in the search engines and the higher you are in the search engines, the more traffic and sales you will make.
