Setup a google alert for your main keyword

Google alerts can be a good way to keep on building backlinks. Used alone wont get your noticed very quick but with all of the other methods i have mentioned you can send your page to the top of the search engines in no time.

When you setup a google alert, you enter your keywords and google will email you websites that have recently been updated relating to them. This includes blogs and news.

The best thing about this is that no only can you gain backlinks by leaving polite comments on the blog pages, and including a link to your website, but the news can also serve as research for your next article!

In order to setup a google alert go to this address

http://www.google.com/alerts

In the search terms enter your main keywords. I would suggest setting the how often to once a week, but you can do this daily if you have the time for it.

Whenever you get a google alert for your main keyword, if it is a blog, squidoo or other such page that allows comments, take a look at the content and see if you can add value to it with a comment. It you can then consider leaving an on topic message with a link to your website using your main keywords as the anchor text. If you can’t leave a good comment, wait until the next alert arrives and try again.

You can also setup alerts for your secondary keywords and do the same, but your priority should be to focus on your main keyword to start off with.
