<li>Write and submit articles with your website URL to as many directories as you can. You can also post your articles on your website and encourage other webmasters to publish your articles as long as they include your resource box and website URL.  Articles help to create thousands of links to your website, which helps to increase your ranking on search engines.</li>
<li>Exchange links with other webmasters that are in your niche. This is particularly powerful if websites with which you exchange links have high popularity rank.</li>
<li>Write product or website reviews, include your website URL and post these on websites that have high popularity ranks. This increases links to your website and also help to drive traffic to your website through other websites.</li>
</ol>
<p>Follow these five steps and you will soon see that your ranking on search engines increases and you get massive volumes of traffic driven to your website. If you want to succeed in SEO and link building, it is essential that you use several strategies as outlined in this article.</p>
