OK, so you’ve now bought your turnkey website and are wondering how to get some search engine visibility from it. Well, there are a few methods you can try. Some people, will recommend using services such as google.com/addurl or addme.com. While initially this will inform search engines about your site existence, it must only be considered a first step.

Link building is still one the most fundamental steps to promoting and marketing your site. Google, Yahoo and MSN see sites with many incoming links as higher importance compared to sites with a few incoming links.

So, how can you get sites linking to you. One way I’ve previously used is services such as linkmetro where you can swop links on your website with other relevant websites.

However, the SEO community are convinced that google and other other major search engines are downgrading their importance on link exchanges and placing greater priority on one way links – when other sites link to your site without the need for you to link back to them.

It’s hard to find other webmasters to link to your site without giving them a link. However, one way to easily and quickly get these links in though submitting to directories which will include a link and description of your website in a relevant category. Services such as Paid Premium Directory and Affordable small business seo will greatly speed up this task and give your site great exposure within the search engines.

Overtime, you’ll find that people will naturally link to your site but no matter what stage your sites at, you can always give it an extra boost by increasing your incoming links. Good luck.
