Let us have a look at some of them. The first thing that you can do is write informative articles with your website link at the end of the article and then post them to directories. Another way is make an agreement with whoever is tying up with you as your business partner to include your website link in their site as well.
Many people today make use of web based PR where they make use of the traditional PR skills.

Today search engines regard blogs as their best friend. So you should not miss out on a blog for writing content as well as adding links. Blogs are today the most popular way of recruiting links. However many blogs don’t allow a lot of promotion and hence you should read the terms and conditions of the blogs correctly.
