Local & Business Links - Good Ways to Build Links

1. Join the Better Business Bureau.

2. Get a link from your local chamber of commerce.

3. Submit your link to relevant city and state governmental resources. (Easier in some countries than in others.)

4. List your site at the local library’s Web site.

5. See if your manufacturers or retailers or other business partners might be willing to link to your site.

6. Develop business relationships with non-competing businesses in the same field. Leverage these relationships online and off, by recommending each other via links and distributing each other’s business cards.

7. Launch an affiliate program. Most of the links you pick up will not have SEO value, but the added exposure will almost always lead to additional “normal” links.
