Strategic linking delivers measurable results (and gives you massive bang for the buck). An increase in your traffic is guaranteed, and the process is faster and far less costly than site submission campaigns (which can often take months to get your site properly listed).

Allow others to publish your ezine on their Web site.
If you are a writer, add a free article directory to your Web site and let others in your niche market know about it.
Do you have a discussion board? Invite other related sites to link to it.
