Wouldn’t it be great if people who came to your site WANTED to show off a link back to your site?  There are plenty of company’s out there enticing people to do just that.  Let’s take a look at a few:

Kiva – People rave about Kiva and are proud to place a big, colorful, ad about Kiva on their websites.  Why?  Because they feel great about donating to Kiva and want to publicize their generosity. 

Bruce Clay – Bruce Clay has hundreds of backlinks from relevant, related, SEO sites.  Why?  Because Bruce Clay set the standards for SEO and then allowed people to boast their Bruce Clay seal of approval on their websites.

eZine Articles – There are hundreds of content writers promoting the link to eZine Articles on their websites.  Why?  Because eZine articles offers authors a collection of “expert author” labels that increase an author’s credibility.

In each case, the company’s have created a demand for their logo by devising a program that increases the website owner’s credibility.  In order for someone to WANT to add your link to their page, they’ve got to WANT to show off their affiliation.  When an affiliate with you boosts another person or business’ credibility, they are happy to promote your link!

Also, each of these sites makes it easy for others to add the link. They provide a selection of images and the ready-made HTML code so that it can be easily placed right on the website.   

How can you incorporate these ideas on your site and start building your backlinks?
