If you're serious about your web business, getting to the top of search results for relevant phrases your target audience types into Google must be one of your main business priorities.

But if you want to get to the top of Google, you need one thing more than anything else: you need quality one-way links from other authority webistes and blog to your website. It doesn't matter how the web will change over time, incoming links from other sites is still going to be the key to high search engine rankings for the foreseeable future.

Because building high quality links to your website is however a lot harder than you may think, especially for new sites and blogs, this article lists and briefly described the most powerful and overlooked strategies to get one-way links to your new site relatively easily.

But before I actually reveal these powerful link building tactics, let me first reveal how you should absolutely never waste your precious time and money building links.

Don't fall for ads and promotions that promise they will submit your site to 1,000 online directories and claim you'll instantly get 1,000 links to your website.

Not only you'll receive nada traffic from these Internet directories but Google doesn't even index most of their category pages. Even if it does, your site will be listed on the page with 500 other websites which means you get very a links of very poor quality.
You want high quality and relevant links, not some garbage links or no links at all. Here are a few overlooked strategies to get links to your new site.

1) Publish a list of experts, gurus, influential bloggers or any other influential people in your industry, and make sure they find out about it.
You can either let them know about it yourself, or you can let them find you naturally. Most high-profile individuals constantly watch the web using various services where and what other people are saying about them on the Internet. They will sooner or later find your site.

If you amaze these people and feed their human ego well enough, most of them will sooner or later end up linking to your site or blog.

2) Interview experts, gurus, influential bloggers or any other influential people in. Not only interviews are very powerful and super easily way to get original content with high-quality advice for your site without you even writing it yourself (!), but most of these high-profile people also like attention, publicity and getting featured across the web.

The effect here is comparable to the one in the tip above: If you impress these people and feed their human ego well enough, most of them will eventually end up linking to your blog.

3) Create a “101 list” and publish it on your site. These lists get Dugg on Dig and bookmarked on bookmarking sites like Del.Icio.us all the time. Other site owners and bloggers just can't resist but to link to “101 lists”.

4) Produce and submit your articles to EzineArticles, GoArticles, iSnare and other articles distribution services. Not only you will get a lot of links to your website when other webmasters pick and reprint your articles (your article must contain quality information), but the nice side-effect about good article directories is that their article sub-pages usually rank well in Google and attract high-quality traffic themselves.

5) Produce and syndicate press releases using services such as PRWeb and PRLeap and others. Ensure sure to devote some time to think about how you can make your press release compelling and newsworthy.
Hint: If you're submitting articles, use Google Alerts or any other similar service to track who picks up and reprints your articles or press releases. If their blog has at least PageRank of 3, go ahead and contact them directly and offer them exclusive and unique content in exchange for a link from their home page. Go direct.
