Here’s a neat little trick to start getting free traffic and also increase your inbound links and Google Page Ranking. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Make a list of all your top terms or keywords that are related to your website or blog. For example my Keywords for this site could be - Looks like the Death Star, no?
2. Create a small section of articles on your website, or simply write articles that are related to the keywords above and make a note of their URLs. Write about 3 articles for each of these keywords. You may end up having a structure that looks something like this:| Article 1
| Article 2
| Article 3
Search Engine Optimization
| Article 1
| Article 2
| Article 3
| Article 1
| Article 2
| Article 3
Online Marketing
| Article 1
| Article 2
| Article 1
| Article 2
Viral Marketing
| Article 1
| Article 2
Important - Make sure that each article you write has good and valuable relevant content, and has links that point back to other stuff on your site. This type of internal linking will help in keeping people within your website.| Article 1
| Article 2
3. Go to Wikipedia.org and search for these keywords. You may find many similar keywords and many keywords will have a high Google Page Rank (if you dont know what Page Rank is - look it up for now in Wikipedia itself). Briefly, Page Rank is Google’s way of ranking the popularity of websites. Read this to learn more how Google Page Rank works. Download and install the Alexa Toolbar - which will sit nicely on top of your browser area and will display the Page Rank of the page you currently are browsing. So, going back to finding your keywords on Wikipedia, many of them may have a high Page Rank. The higher the better. Why? Because, you will now post a link on this Wikipedia page to your article. And, since a Wikipedia page with a high page rank points to you, your Page Rank and popularity on Google will increase! So, the final step is...
4. On Wikipedia, click on the Edit This Page tab. Go to the portion that says:
==External links==
and add your link using the following code:
* [http://www.example.com Anchor Tag] A collection of free articles.
There’s nothing underhanded or wrong in doing this. Just make sure the articles you write are good and relevant. Do not spam Wikipedia with misdirected info and links leading to wrong and tasteless spammy articles - as its a self policing system and users will simply take down your spammy links - potentially banning your domain from Wikipedia. So, its in the best interest of everyone that you write good relevant articles and insert valuable and relevant links in the proper keyword/terms pages.
