Slowly work in directory links to supplement your natural links. We suggest somewhere around 10 directory submissions per week.
In the beginning focus on high quality directories. Here is a list of quality directories to submit your site to:
http://www.jayde.com
Go to http://www.google.com/alerts and set up an alert for your url. Google will then email you everytime someone drops a link to your site.
When you get an email from google alerts, go to the page that links to yours and submit it to bookmarking sites.
A little hint is to spread out your selection so the links arent added to every single site.
A list of 20 popular bookmarking sites include:
digg.com
buzz.yahoo.com
http://technorati.com
http://del.icio.us
propeller.com
stumbleupon.com
http://reddit.com
mixx.com
fark.com
mybloglog.com
slashdot.org
kaboodle.com
bloglines.com
http://newsvine.com
blinklist.com
netvouz.com
clipmarks.com
furl.net
mister-wong.de
dzone.com
You can also take advantage of other sites but they take more time to setup.
Sites such as squidoo, hubpages, wordpress.com, blogger.com, wikihow.com, work.com, ehow.com, about.com, and newsvine.com
offer great services. You can create your own pages on these sites and not only do you get a precious backlink but you also
can get loads of traffic. Visitors are brought to your page through the site itself and by easily ranking in the search engines.
Since these pages have tons of unique content constantly being added by users like you and me, the search engines are crawling
these sites non-stop eating up all the info we can dish out.
