Is my site on Page One?
Within a week you start searching Google for the specific keywords around which you have built your site with the hope of finding it on page one. Do you think this is possible? Ranking high on search engines is very much possible and not a very difficult task too provided you know a few basic things about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
Search Engine Optimization
SEO is the process that helps you ensure that:

Top link building methods
There are several ways by which you can build quality backlinks to your website. Let's analyze them one by one.
Article marketing
Article marketing is one of the top link building methods used to increase your site visibility and attract more traffic. There are many popular article directories that would accept your articles written on topics related to the content on your site. Ezinearticles, articledashboard, articlecity, ehow, suite101, articletrader, isnare, buzzle etc. are a few of the directories that have a high PR.
Write an article and get it published on one article directory with a backlink to your sales page/home page. You could either tweak it a little to make it different or get it spun (but see to it that the spun content reads well and does not look like spam) and publish it on other directories as well. This way, your content is spread across several locations on the web in a natural manner and more and more people get to see it. The link back to your website increases traffic and depending on the content and call to action, increases your sales.
Blog commenting
This is a very simple yet powerful link building method. All you have to do is visit blogs in your related niche and post comments that earns you a link back to your website. The important thing to note here is that you need to read the blog and post useful and relevant comment so that it appears genuine to the readers.
