<< previous (CONTINUE FROM LAST PAGE) I Coulda Been a Contenda 2. Bribe webmasters into linking up. The next strategy that can work very well is the "bribe". In a nutshell, you simply give something of value away to anyone who links to your site. When done correctly, this strategy can be extremely powerful. All you need to get started is a few banners or buttons that people can use to link to your site, and a way to automate all aspects of the "bribe". Here's a link to my own NEW implementation of this strategy. (You may want to read the rest of this lesson before clicking in.) What you'll find at that URL is a new area of my site called the Internet Marketer's Resource Directory. But it's more than a niche directory. It is actually a link generation tool that bribes my visitors into linking to bizweb2000.com by offering two distinct rewards: a. Marketers can secure a link from my site to THEIR best Internet Marketing Resources in what will be my new high- traffic directory. b. When they reciprocate with a link to my site, they get a free book just for participating. Is it working? You bet! The very first day it generated more than 40 new links to my site. (Let's see, 40 times 365 = 14,600 links a year. I may be able to get to 900 lb. gorilla after all.) And here's the key to the early success of my new link- generating system... it's a new tool that automates the entire process called LinksManager. LinksManager not only enabled me to create the directory in a few hours, it automates the entire "get links" strategy. In a nutshell, LinksManager is a Link Swap Automation tool, but as you can clearly see from my example, it can be much more. My new niche "directory" proves that. Here's how LinksManager works: Through a web interface you create your "links page". When your website visitors start submitting their URLs, the system take over. It sends automated emails to all new submissions, checks their site for reciprocal links, sends email reminders if they don't reciprocate, and even gives away my book when reciprocal links are verified! I'm quite impressed by the simplicity and the automation power this tool offers. Actually, I've seen nothing like it to date. And no, I'm not an affiliate. ;-) OK, give it a look-see at: http://linksmanager.com/bizweb2000/ You'll find a rapidly growing "self-propelled" directory. Feel free to fill it with your best Internet Marketing resources. You're sure to get lots of visitors from the directory as other BizWeb eGazette subscribers do the same! (I'll also be linking to the directory from other busy areas of my site soon.) While you're poking around, watch how the LinksManager system automates the entire process of getting new links. Pretty slick eh? If you like it, grab your own free demo of LinksManager by clicking the green "powered by" box at the bottom of each webpage. Well, that about wraps up this lesson! If you take one thing from it, remember, a good "get links" strategy is a key to growing your business online. Use your imagination and develop a unique strategy of your own. I'll bet you can come up with something great if think creatively! Who knows, maybe someday your site will even be a "Contender" or better yet, a 900 lb. gorilla!
