It is a known fact by website owners that high quality incoming links to your website can increase your search engine ranking as well as bring highly targeted traffic to your Web pages. Most website owners are familiar with a lot of incoming link strategies.

The question still remains among many website owners as to exactly how to approach other website owners to request a link. Here are some creative ways to getting other websites to link to yours.

Creative Ways to Get High Quality Incoming Links

 Offer Free Stuff: Everyone likes to get something for free and this is a great strategy to use for obtaining incoming links to your site. For instance, if you happen to have a site that has a paid membership section, offer the website owner a free membership in exchange for providing a link to your Web page.

Offer the other website owner free content that you have written and ask to leave a link to your Web page at the end of the content. One word of caution: Make sure it is high quality content and not something you obtained from a website that allows you to re-publish the information on another site for free. The content should really be unique and original. In addition, search engines do not appreciate duplicate content.

 Offer a Testimonial: When you find a website that has high quality information that is relevant to your website, offer to write a testimonial for the site in exchange for a link back to your site. This could also include a review of the site along with notable sections that will provide a special benefit to the readers.

 Niche Expertise: Although your website content is relevant to another site, you may possess expertise in a specific niche related to the subject matter. Offer the website owner a few free sessions in exchange for an incoming link to your Web page.

 Offer a High Quality Publication: Perhaps you have an ebook related to information on the website you want to link with. Allow the website owner to offer it as a free bonus to their clients in exchange for an incoming link to your site.

 Social Bookmarking: Create a network on a social bookmarking site and then promote your site along with the other members of your network.

 Offer a Review: Offer to write a review on one of the products being offered on the website you would like to receive an incoming link from.

 Create a Video: Create and upload a video with high quality content that is useful to people interested in your subject matter, and sites that are relevant to that subject matter. Offer to share the video with the website you would like to link with so that their clients can benefit from the information as well.

 Promote Others: Offer to run a promotion on your site regarding something of value that is being offered on the site with which you wish to request an incoming link.

 Option to Send: When you publish quality content in a blog or directory, include an option that allows the reader to email the content to their friends.

 Create a Survey: Create a survey on your product or service through a site such as Survey Monkey and ask your opt-ins to participate and then help to spread the word.

If you do your research, there are many creative ways to approach website owners and convince them to provide you with an incoming link. Keep in mind that it is always best and easiest to make an offer and create a scenario that ensures that everyone wins.
