I'm pleased to offer this free e-Book to you and am sure you will be totally satisfied and learn useful tips and techniques. So let's begin… How to Get Free Traffic © 2008 Lambert Klein – GhostWriter4You.com 4 How to Get Free Traffic © 2008 LambertKlein.com One Way Links We all want links. The more links pointing to us the better our visibility is on the web. That is if they are high quality and are produced in a natural way that the search engines will love. There are basically two kinds of links that can point toward your website. These are reciprocal and one way links. Reciprocal links are the ones where two websites are linking back and forth to each other. These links are not as important as one way links which Google and other search engines love quite a bit more. One way links are more important, have more punch, and will benefit your sites more. You will be happy to know that all of the techniques in this report will bring you one way links in most cases. Many believe that one way links are too hard to acquire. They may be harder to get in some cases, but I will show you how you can get them with just a little effort and time on your part. Just remember to go about this the smart way. Don't spam or try to cheat your way through. If you really try to help others and contribute to the online community then you will benefit and reap the rewards.

How to Get Free Traffic © 2008 LambertKlein.com Articles Writing your own articles and submitting them to article directories and webmasters can produce a large number of back links for you over time. If you don't think you can write, I suggest that you try. I bet you can. If you find that you really can't then there are other alternatives such as Ghostwriters and other article writers that will write them for you for a fee. When you submit your articles to the directories, you cannot promote your products directly in the article. You want to write an article that is relevant to your product and is helping the reader in someway. When you add your article to a directory you get a Bio Box. Sometimes it's called a resource box. This is where you do your selling. Be sure to mention the benefit of clicking the link in the resource box. This link should contain a key phrase up to three words that is either your product are a phrase relevant to it. That's the only place you can advertise your product. Some directories will let you put a link are two in the article itself as long as you are not promoting yourself. Be careful about this. Many will reject the article if it has links. If you keep writing and posting enough articles this will build a huge number of quality one way links. Use relevant key phrases in the anchor text (the text containing the link). These will all be pointing back to your website or blog. The search engines will love these. This is not a super fast process, but if you keep at it you will see results. Also you will be seen as an expert in your niche.
