Make It Easy For People To Link To You

Believe it or not, not everyone online knows HTML, or knows how to add a link to their site.

That is why you should make
it as easy as possible for other people to link to you and offer alternatives to just the regular text
link.

I create 80×15 graphic buttons
webmasters can use that are small and discreet to place on their site. I also offer to place the link myself in case
I’m dealing with a website owner who doesn’t know how to edit their site
themselves. Usually it takes 5 minutes
to help them and you get your backlink.

There are a couple places
online where you can create small button graphics for free if you don’t want to
do it yourself in a graphics editor.  Check out:

Adding a form field to your
footer or sidebar where people can easily grab code to add your link to their
site is a good idea. And be sure to host the image for them! It’s a pain for webmasters to save a graphic to their computer, upload to their host and then edit the html you gave them to point to their own graphic. Also be sure to have hot-linking enabled in your control panel. It should be enabled by default. This will allow other webmasters to host your graphic on their site.

Example:

Please feel free to link to us. You can place the below graphic on your site or the text link by simply copying and pasting the code onto your site.
