Increasing Your In-Bound Links (IBL) and Traffic - Part II

By Glenn Ford

Part two of a three Part Series

In Part I we discussed a number of systems that increased your in-bound links through your sites ability to generate weight, vaultage or points. Depending on the system.

In Part II of Increasing your In-Bound Links we will focus on a few systems that can get you 1 way links and reciprocal links.

TextLinkBrokers - www.textlinkbrokers.com - Good - Score 7.5

Text Link Brokers has a number of services where you can buy links. The only one I would recommend is their permanent links. Why? Read this article to learn. If you don't feel like reading it, in a nutshell Google, the king of Search Engines, is putting more and more emphasis on the longevity of links. So buying links for a 1,3,6 or even 12 month span is a temporary fix. However, textlinkbrokers does have a purchase plan where you can buy a minimum of 5 links per month (last I checked it was 35$ per link) that stay forever. This is what you want. Permament links. They do a very good job of doing all the work for you of getting the links up and even policing the site to insure they stay. So if you have a fairly mature site and your looking for that little extra, this is a very small investment and thus I would recommend. If your starting out or working out of your basement to keep your site running, then I would not recommend them.

Linkstoyou - (www.linkstoyou.com) - Good - Score 7

This is a forum area (I should note we have our own forum area for this ) where you can exchange links with other web site owners and operators in your relevant category. I was able to easily add a hundred or more in-bound links to my site(s) using this forum. Do not discount the importance of building up this network. It isn't always about increasing your SERP (Search Engine Ranking Position). It's also about generating traffic. The search engines are not even in my top 5 list for referral urls (the way people find your site). I have generated a very healthy reciprocal link system where people find me through other peoples sites. As much as we all want to pipe dream that google, msn, yahoo and others will always find us on a search, that is not realisitic. Guess what? They will find other sites that are similar to yours (e.g. you run a music store, they will find some other website about music). So if they are on this other site, they will sometimes run across the link to your site. This is very powerful and will definitely increase your traffic. I highly recommend you use this free forum and also our free forum.

TextLinkBrokerage - (www.textlinkbrokerage.com) - No Rating or Score Yet

I just found this site last week and I do not have enough data to report to you if it's good or bad. I plan on updating this article in 1-2 months and give you some info on it. I wanted to at least put a place holder here and you may of course try the site out on your own. No Recommendation at this time.
