I am sure that you have heard about all of these great schemes that you can get links from.  Even I have told people about Link Vault, which, don’t get me wrong is a great “tool”.  But that is all it is, a tool in your tool box.  Another thing that I am sure that you have heard is that for SEO the big new thing is content.  Well I suppose that it is not all that new, but it is something that is getting more and more important for SEs, and it is only going to get even more importatnt as all of the major search engines get better at weeding out duplicate content.

So why am I mentioning both linking schemes and content in an article talking about how to get links to your site?  Well that is because there is only one sure-fire way to get people to link to your site for the long term, and that is to write GREAT content.  It can’t be just good, it has to be great, it has to be so great that when someone is looking for information online, or if they are looking for a reference that they are going to take the time to both bookmark it and if they have a blog or website they are going to link to it and tell others to check it out.

This is not an easy thing to do, but it is what you need to do.  So basically you have to pick a subject that you know a lot about.  You have to know enough about that subject to teach others, and if you can teach someone that has no experience in that subject you have the background necessary to build a website around it.

Like I said in the first few lines, the big thing these days in the webmaster community is content, but remember this, 10 GREAT webpages on a small website will do a whole lot better than 100 good pages, or 1000 medicore pages.
