Use one of the many online tools.




3. Find your top link targets:
Getting links from just any website isn't typically too difficult. Getting links from quality sites that will drive quality traffic to your website is a different matter. You need to identify the top sites in your industry and use these to spearhead your linking strategy.

4. Maximize your linkability:
Why would other websites link to yours? You need to offer value both to the target website and their audience.
