How to Create One Way Back Links Using Certain Types of Monthly Submissions

Beginning e-commerce site owners can research the following vocabulary words to better understand this article: spamming, meta tags, cpanel, external links, one way links, good neighborhoods, search engine ranking, RSS Feeds, HTML format, crawlers, spiders, robots

When submitting to search engines, you must be careful not to submit your sitetoo often. This can have an adverse affect, should the search engine believe you are "pushing"it.

On the other hand submitting to the same directories month after month, after they have already added your site doesn't make sense either and could be considered as spamming.

Once you have submitted your site to the major search engines and directories (and if your meta tags were properly written) the best action would be to wait. Time is on your side.

However, submitting each month to classified sites, blogs, social sites, and article sites, can and will increase your back link count greatly.

Classified sites have to be submitted to because ads fall off after a certain period. When you have something new and relevant to say, new blog postings are welcomed and having links back to your site from social sites and articles helps to grow your site while you sleep.

Other web site owners who need new and relevant content may pick up your articles for newsletters, blogs, or even web site content. Each time this happens, you get a one way back link to your site. This is good. One way links are better then exchanged links.

You can view, in your site's cpanel/Awstats Statistics: External links - to see what sites are linked to your site. To find out exactly how many links your site has, go to MSN, Yahoo and Google and put in: 'links: your sites name.com' and the search engine will tell you exactly how many links you have at that moment.

When you keep submitting to classified sites, article sites, blogs and post on social sites - your back link count can increase dramatically. The higher the rank of the sites linking back to you, the better your site's ranking.

Your sites FMF (fair market value) depends on how many back links you have linking to your site, as well as your annual revenue.

There are less then 10 major search engines on the Internet today. The promise to deliver submissions to thousands and thousands of search engines is simple not true. Often times, submissions to directories is advertised as submissions to search engines. There are hundreds of thousands of online directories and having a one way link back to your site from these directories has proven to be extremely helpful in getting sites higher placement in the search engines.

Search engines like sites that are well connected in 'good neighborhoods' Usually, good neighborhoods are considered sites with no adult content. They also like sites that have a high keyword to content ratio, along with updated content. (That's why RSS Feeds, especially in HTML format are used to increase a sites ranking)

If you really want to know what these mega crawlers (spiders) like, just take a moment and browse the top sites on the major search engines, in your keyword category. Right click your mouse and you will see the 'view source.' Look at their meta tags, description, keywords, title, etc.

Now go back about 10 pages and see how these sites compare in content, keywords, etc. Do this often, and before you know it, you will have a gut feeling about what will work and won't work.

Of course you could just read Google's Webmaster Instructions and see exactly what Google likes and dislike, and get inside information on all the does and don'ts.
