i-Search Engines

There are a number of ways to do this, very affordably. You can:

* Ask a friend to put a link to your website,
* Post messages in an online forum, with your site address in your signature,
* Send a reply on a web log and include a link to your website,
* Build your own blog on Blog.com and link to your website,
* Open an account on a social bookmarking service like Digg and create a bookmark to your website,
* Write a free reprint article and upload it to SearchWarp, EZineArticles, or Free-Reprint-Articles

As we noted in the first section, PageRank is a value that Google gives to a page based on the number of links pointing to your site. So how do you get others to provide links to your site? You can try the following methods:

* Register with major search directories (Yahoo!, OpenDirectory, MSN)

* Send press releases about your product or idea that generates free links

* Hire an expert to write something positive about your product and publish in an industry newsletter, magazine or a local newspaper
