How to Promote Your Online Business to Rank High in Search Engines

If you are trying to get a new online business up and running, or you want more customers for your current online business, the best way to do that is by link building.

This is the process where you get web links for your business out to as many sites as you can.  This is not only going to get more people to see your links, but it will also get the search engines to notice you quicker.  In the end, you are killing two birds with one stone!

First of all, you will want to submit your website to web directories.  This is kind of a monotonous process, but it can get you several hundred back links in no time.

Next you need to submit your press releases to PR sites.  This PR will then be given out to various online news outlets. Over time you will get some good free links out of it.  Two of the most popular are PRLeap and PRWeb.

Then you need to go out and find sites that are like yours and link with them.  This means that you could be selling the same kind of stuff or you are at least selling things that could go together.

For example, if you are selling puzzles and someone else is selling puzzle glue, these would link together very nicely.  Although that is a lame example, you get the general idea.  After that you need to do some article submissions.

Simply hire a freelance writer (or an SEO consultant) to write some articles about your niche, and then have those submitted to article directories.

Finally, if you can, start up a blog site about your website, this would be a good idea, because blog sites are free and a great place to post links.
