Link Building Secrets - Are They Hiding in Plain Sight?

You can find several different link-building ideas on the Internet; how to's on creating backlinks, if chasing an external link is a good strategy, how to help your readers talk and leave their own links in the comment section, and finding the strongest sites to link to, etc. However, there is one very powerful link building idea that hardly ever gets attention, which is having an affiliate program. This is a solution that is based on having many people promote your link (for your products or services) in return for a commission when the sale is made.

Think about this for a minute. It is very easy to make a digital product and upload that to the ClickBank marketplace, and ClickBank handles everything else, including signing up for and paying affiliate sites on time. Plus, you have your URL on ClickBank, which is ranked by Alexa traffic as 333 and in the US it is ranked as 135 - it is a great backlink.

If you make the most of your affiliates, you will soon feel the Link love.

Remember, do not just abandon affiliates to ClickBank, rather, create a resource center for your product site, along with snippets of your code, button ads, banners, proven tips, FAQ's, and anything else that might help them sell your product in an enthusiastic manner. Of course, they will have to contact you if there is a violation, but you will soon find experienced affiliate marketers that will not hesitate to do so.

The bottom line is that you need to be ready for them. This means giving them what they want and they will happily promote you.

Moreover, you want to provide them with a free brand report, so that they can use it to redistribute to their list. If you happen to be a writer, use a ghostwriter to produce it and fill it with valuable tips.

Make sure you offer to do interviews. In addition, upload YouTube videos (which is another must-do for places to put your link!) to show your affiliates how they can create link cloaking redirects, or show them how to best use your product, which is very useful.

Of course, the better quality your product is, as well the quality of your affiliate resources, the more willingly they will be ready to promote you, which will increase your link power. Add the free brand report (viral marketing) and sit back and watch the links explode!
