Creating Linkable Titles and Blogs - Getting the BIG Links

Links are widely seen as the most important element in achieving high search engine rankings for webpages. The best links are from very popular websites that enjoy heavy traffic volumes. However, getting links from these websites is far from easy.
While it is possible to exchange links or to buy links from lower-ranking pages, the most popular websites generally avoid such practices. Since they already have large numbers of readers and high position on search engine results, they do not want to sell links as they could get penalized if caught. Most of these sites make enough money from advertising and are not willing to either sell or exchange links.
So how can web masters attract links from these popular sites, and in the process raise their own visibility on search engines?
Generally speaking, the way to attract links to your web site is to create content-filled pages and a website with a strong focus. Popular websites are often looking for other great content that they can link to. Your job is to provide such content. In the process, you can build mutually beneficial relationships with the high-ranking sites. You provide content that their readers will enjoy, while they provide links to your site to help improve your own search engine rankings.
Here are some tips on how to create content that others sites will find appealing.

• Provide easy to read, concise articles. Make sure the articles are formatted and written in a style that you find easy to digest. Many web surfers are looking for sources of information that can be scanned quickly and where knowledge can be rapidly absorbed. Break up paragraphs into no more than a few sentences and use plenty of sub-headings. Add clickable links, images and videos when possible.
  
• Break the news. Of course, this may not be possible in most cases. However, you might be able to offer an early analysis of news especially in situations in which there is a lack of information. By compiling different sources together, you can often unravel questions that web users are looking for. One secret to find out what’s on people’s minds is to check out high-rated stories on micro-blogging sites, for example, Twitter’s trending topics.
  
• Keep your focus. If you are discussing your business, for example, don’t include other subjects on the same page. Also you should try to create a web site with a specific focus that offers lots of resources to people who are interested in that subject matter.
  
• Strong titles. One of the best ways to attract people to your site is by using eye-catching titles for your web pages. Titles are considered “hooks” that draw readers in to digest the entire article. Always keep the titles as short as possible, while still getting the point across. Repeatedly reread your title to see how you can shorten it even further. Research has shown that shorter titles are more effective. Then you will have to make sure that you hook the reader. You will need to word the title so it instantly attracts the eye, and creates a compulsion to read further. Just imagine that you are the reader and try to create a title that would attract your interest.

Once you have created good content, you can begin to attract a site’s or blogger’s attention in a number of ways. For example, you can leave comments on target websites with your own site as part of your signature. You can also leave track backs when linking to other sites so the target site or blog can find your articles.
