1. The main technique of link building is focusing on what‘s in your stuff for the reader. If your stuff doesn’t attract the readers, then your days of creating of staying a part of the cloud are over.
2. Social media websites are very important and help you greatly in this regard. The easiest way to get your content attention on the net is to promote it on popular social media websites like Facebook and Twitter etc. Promoting your stuff on such websites, not only gets you the attention of the readers but other bloggers and website owners as well who are always on the lookout for content that would help them in backing up their content as well.

3. Understand the importance of headlines. Your content headline and the brief summary of the article play a vital part in the success of your article and determining whether your content is of any use to another blogger or not. If you have done a good job with your headline and summary description, it should attract people automatically. Try to squeeze in your keywords in the headline as well since they help people in understanding the basic purpose of your article and will draw more search results for you.

It is easier to ask for a favor when you have done them one before. It is harder to say NO when you provide them links to where their content is on your own website.
7. Search the web for sites that have the same theme as yours. Suggesting your content to somebody requires that they have enough interest in your content to post it to theirs. Highlight the main benefits they would gain from putting your stuff on their website before you ask them to put a link to your material on their website.
