The most valuable type of back link is the 1 way backlink. Many people waste lots of time sending out gobs of emails to other website owners asking for link exchanges between web sites. This is a waste of time because the resulting reciprocal links are not that valuable in building website traffic. Instead, site marketers should be concentrating on bringing one way back links to their web sites.

Unfortunately, one way backlinks are hard to acquire unless you know the best methods for getting them. And even knowing the secrets, you should still expect to put in some work to make it happen.

A tried and true method for building a good supply of one way backlinks is to write articles and distribute them to article directories. This will be really effective if you write enough articles. Many webmasters give up after writing just 5 to 10 articles, but to be really successful you need to write at least 40 or 50 articles for each website you wish to promote.

A great method is to couple article marketing with a website matching system like Neurolinker. This allows you to place your articles on a large number of other websites, getting good quality backlinks to your website. Since the links come from your articles, they are by definition relevant links and are therefore highly valued by the search engines.
