Link Marketing

Author: Tara Martindale

Are you getting started in a network marketing program? One of the most frequently asked questions about affiliate marketing is what is an effective marketing link program. An affiliate will realize that link marketing is an important strategy for promoting their program.

It does not matter what program you are involved in or thinking about becoming involved in, without link generated traffic, your network marketing business will fail. A fast and efficient way to gain traffic is to use links. There is no more effective traffic generation tool than good links. When you are talking about the short term, links will get your program traffic as you climb in the search engine ranks.

You will begin to get more traffic to your site from the search engines because the links will have put you up higher in their ranks. In the long run, you will be getting a whole lot of traffic from your position in the search engine ranks.

You can find a lot of affiliate link programs on the internet. Some will cost you some money while others may be free. Either way, you will have to work at it. No matter how you look at it, the majority of all the successful, top high-earning affiliates are involved in some kind of affiliate link program.

Most likely, you will have to create, at the very least, 200 reciprocal links in order for your website to be considered important enough to appear in the top listings of the major search engines. It is not a very good idea to place all the reciprocal links on one page because a webmaster may not accept reciprocal link requests from you. You will want to create a structure of pages where the links will be placed. You will need to make a new page for each theme, similar to the theme of your website.

You will also need to make one or more web pages for links to websites that contain different themes. An index or directory page will need to be made for easy navigation around your site. Lastly, place the title of your home page, a description of your home page, and your home page URL in the links or directory page. A webmaster will use this information to place you in their links page.
