With any new site you develop, you will need to get your site “established”. In doing so, obtaining links from other relevant theme sites to link to your site will be crucial. An easy and free way to get this done is by searching for sites using one of the Free SEO Tools I have listed called the Backlink Builder.

By using this tool, you will be able to type in a Keyword Phrase (i.e. SEO Optimization Services) and have several sites pop up that have an “Add Link” option to list your site.  Example below:

Many of these types of sites require reciprocal linkage (meaning you’ll need to add a snippet of their code onto your site for them to list your site on theirs). However, many of these sites do not require reciprocation and may pass along PageRank to your site.

Another important place to list your site is with the DMOZ.org. Contents from this site populate the 1st and 2nd Tier search engines with the relevant information you provide. No reciprocation is needed with directory listings.

It is important to remember that PageRank passed on to your site will not occur immediately. This may take 2-4 weeks, dependent on a variety of factors. The main thing to remember is that the hard work you put into getting your site linked now will pay off in the very near future.
