When you first add content to your website or blog you’ll notice that the content ranks really well, as long as your website or blog already has some link strength.

This happens because Google has a filter that gives a bonus to new content.

After 3 to 14 days you’ll notice the ranking starting to drop. This is because the fresh content filter goes away.

The way to keep that content at the top of the search results is by promoting it, getting sites to link to it.

Once the content is posted, it’s a matter of getting more link strength to the web page, you have to have more link strength than any other web page that is ranking for that keyword. When you lose the fresh content boost you can still hold the number one position with link strength.

If your website link structure is done correctly then each web page you add to the site becomes stronger than the one before and the new page makes the last one stronger.

Getting Links with Content

Powerful and emotional content that shows someone how to make their life more complete, better, easier, more productive, more profitable and happier will always get people linking to it but what to do if those links are not enough.

7. Use deep-linking. Deep-linking is when you link to older posts or pages in new posts or pages.

8. Do blog reviews. Lots of webmasters will link to you in exchange for reviewing their site.

9. Get a MyBlogLog account. MyBlogLog.com is like MySpace for bloggers.

11. Write testimonials for sites whose services have helped you. The testimonials themselves will often turn into links, and the webmasters will surely check out your site.

12. Write and submit a press release. Sites like PRWeb will publish them and link to you.

13. Write to help others. If you can help other people to find more success, you deserve a link from them.

14. Interview other bloggers. Many bloggers want to be famous! They will jump at the chance to be interviewed. Add a page to your blog that let’s people in your field know that you are interested in interviewing them. Tell them how to sign up and they will. I can almost guarantee that they’ll be linking back to the interview once it’s published.

15. Use forums and discussion boards.

22. Link to your blog from your MySpace page.

23. Create a WordPress template. If a person uses your template they will be linking to you from every page of their site.

24. Donate sites to non-profit organizations. Non-profits usually get a lot of links from government sites, and so they would be ideal to design for. Make sure to include a “design donated by YourSite.com” at the bottom.

25. Setup blogs for other people. Make sure you include, “Designed by MySite.com” or “Inspired by MySite.com.” Help them to achieve success and their links will become a lot more valuable.
