How and where to start with your link building.

Links is one way to get users to visit your website, but where and how can you get websites to links to your website.There are these following ways to get links to your website.   1. Link directories   2. Article Databases   3. Blogs   4. Forums   5. Link Partners / link exchange   6. Themes / TemplatesLink directories / Article DatabasesThere are many opinions about which of these 2 is the best, probably as many as there are link directories and article databases. So instead of joining prejudices opinions about each of them, comes therefore some good advice on what you should look at if you use this kind of link building. It´s a good idea, that you spread your links at all possibilities. But before you select a link directory or an article database, you must look at the number of indexed pages on Google. That means Google has the website pages in the search engine, if Google haven’t indexed the website, then it's a waste of effort you your link / article because it will not get indexed.The way to find out if the site is indexked is by typing site: http://www.domainname.com in the search box on Google, here it will then reveal if the page is removed from Google or not. You can also choose a phrase from one of the established links or article, try searching with the phrase. However, you should not choose a link / article that is less than a week old when Google etc.. just need time to index page.BlogsDo you write on blogs like this one on search engine optimization, you can most times to link to your website. However you should ensure that the page doesn’t use "Nofollow" tags, because then you will get nothing out of the link. You can comment in 2 ways, the normal is when your name is the link text. Or you can try to contact the blog owner to see if it's okay that you use a search word instead of your name. The last way is the best, but there are not many blog owners who want it. So ask first, or expect that your comment will be deleted.!ForumsForums are also a good way to get links to your website. Almost all forums allow one or more links in your signature, which you then either link with seo text or the url to your website. That mean, the more active you are in various forums, the more links you get to your website.Link Partners / link exchangeYou can also contact relevant sites to see if they are interested in being link partners where you link to their website and they link to yours .Again there are different ways of doing this, the most usual is 2 way links where the link from one site to another. A better way is what is called 3 way links, meaning you link from page A to page B and page B links to site C. This way is the best way to do it the first is also good enough. This is where I personally think most links are retrieved whether it is on way or the other way isn’t so important again but you should be aware of the 2 different ways.Themes / Templates.This method is for the webmasters who can code web pages and themes. In all its simplicity, this is where you code your own templates or themes, for example themes for Wordpress or Blogenigne blogs. These templates or themes are available for free download on either your own website or on the relevant pages you can do it. Where other users can Download your themes and use it on their website, which will give a link at the bottom of the page to a website which is intended by the developer.Now it's "just" to get started with link building for your websites, so good luck with the work.
