chain links
Getting external web sites to link back to your site is a good way to increase your Page Rank. But how do you go about getting other sites to link back to you? It’s not like you can just go out there and start collecting them, can you? Here are some practical ways by which you can increase back links to your site.

Directory submissions
Submitting your site to online directories actually serves a dual purpose. The more obvious one is that you have the chance to get the word out about your blog. Think about it this way, when you are looking for something and you are not sure as to what is available (but you have a general idea of what you want), what do you do? You go and check the directory – telephone directory, online directory, the idea is the same. So, in submitting your site to an online directory, you get the chance to attract more people to your site – you raise the possibility of finding your site.

Going back to the idea of getting more links back to your site, when you submit your URL to a directory, they will place a back link pointing to your site. That, of course, will count in your favor when it comes to Page Rank. Of course, you have to make sure that the directory you are submitting to is a reputable one. The higher its PR, the better for you as well.

There are free and paid directories. If you do not have the funds, I suggest sticking to the free ones – and submit to as many as you can. There is no limit! It would take some effort and could be tedious but it’s all part of “blog work.”
