7 Link Building Methods - Pt 1 of Tips to Increase Traffic

One of the most fundamental ways to draw web traffic is to have links to your website/ blog. There are several different sources for these links:
- Ezine/ e-newsletter links from article syndication.
- Comment links from other articles and online community forums.
- Blogroll and inline article links.
- Search Engine links from results pages, and topical directory links.
