Building Backlinks With Shipping Sites: What You Should Consider

As you probably know, a good source of backlinks is directory submissions, press releases, articles, and forums. Still, this method fails to provide a quick increase in PageRank due to the fact that Google takes into account only one incoming link from a given root domain.

Basically, you will get the PR benefit of a shipping platform only through the first link pointing to your website; futures only serve to generate traffic.

Another shortfall is the considerable amount of work that must be invested to see results in your traffic reports.

But then again, there is no such “magic formula” that will guarantee you to dominate your niche in SEO, rather it requires having a well thought out strategy to do this; and presentation platforms must be taken into account.

Getting backlinks from submission sites is a must-have method, especially if you’re just starting out and don’t have link juice to share or trade with your potential link partners.

Making the most of this resource link is the reason I wrote this article. Let us start.

Guidelines for submitting your business website to submission directories

There is no doubt that we are seeing a drop in the quality of directory submissions, but there are still some that are worth submitting your business to, such as Yahoo Directory, DMOZ, Best of the Web, Gimpsy, and Search Sight.

Here is how to do it:

• make sure your website is professionally designed;
• broken links test; major flaw, which decreases the chances of your website being accepted;
• broken images test;
• link the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Return Policy, Shipping Information and Warranty to your home page;
• insert a fresh editorial notice on every page of your site;
• provide a realistic description of your site and always deliver what you promise; for sweeping updates to your website, make the necessary changes to your description;
• vary your description across multiple submission directories, but don’t affect the substance;
• don’t stuff keywords into your website’s title or description tag;
• follow the guidelines for each directory submission;
• choose the category that best describes your website’s niche;
• opt for regional categories if your business allows it; the “regional” in each niche has high acceptance rates.

 Guidelines for building backlinks with press releases

The results you get with a press release campaign depend on who is launching the press release. Press releases are a great source of one-way backlinks.

Here’s what to consider:

• A smart way to write press releases is to customize an existing article on your content pages and make it more interesting.
• use an impersonal and objective tone in your writing; advertisements and subjective opinions will not obtain the approval of the editorial staff;
• draw the reader’s attention to your website as a source of supplementary information on the topic;
• preferably, work with paid directories; The free ones have major disadvantages, such as no tracking links or no link submission. I recommend using PRWeb, PRLeap, PRWeb Direct and 24-7 PR.

Get backlinks from forums

Look for those that allow links and do-follow links.

Also, be sure to avoid self-defeating behaviors like terrible typos, strong copy, poor headlines, excessive citations, “pimping” signature files, links, and philosophical responses, to name just a few.

 Guidelines to follow when using article submissions to create backlinks

Another great way to get one-way backlinks to your website, limited only by the frequency and quality of the work you do.

Here is a short getting started guide:

• thing a topic related to a broad category or page on your website;
• Make your article between 400 and 800 words. Evenly distribute your specific keywords in the body of the text;
• make your content extremely informative but incomplete;
• compose an incentive resource box with a backlink to your specific web page that has as anchor text the keyword you are optimizing the page for;
• Submit your article to directories with high PageRank and more importantly high traffic volume aka Alexa Ranking. The top 50 announcements can be found at: vretoolbar.com (/) articles (/) directories.php#

Before passionately reviewing your traffic statistics, make sure you’ve submitted at least 25 articles (per directory, if you’re also interested in which directories produce results). Massive traffic can be gained once you have accumulated around 250 articles.

If you have a handful of high-traffic articles, consider starting a link campaign for them and improve your authority on the SEs. This will be reflected on your specific web pages.

Other alternative sources of backlinks could be blog sponsorship and advertising, join charity groups and, highly profitable, establish cooperative relationships with the dot.orgs and dot.edus websites.
