Increasing traffic and increasing the number of one-way links or backlinks pointing to your site go hand in hand. You see, to get natural traffic from search engines, you need to rank above your competitors, let’s say the first 4 places on the first page. Now, to accomplish this mammoth task, especially when you are in a fairly competitive market, you have to do the right things. Your site needs to be SEO friendly and optimized first and foremost… this happens both on and off the page by adding original content and using specific keywords in your title and copy you are doing just a few. So one of the most important factors in getting above and staying ranked is to increase and keep increasing backlinks on a daily basis.

Why do I need to increase backlinks? Well, as I just said, the more backlinks you have pointing to your site from other relevant, niche-specific sites, the better it will rank, therefore the increase in traffic will follow – everyone wants more traffic. So what exactly are backlinks? Backlinks are a link that points from one site to another, in this case, a link that points from one site to yours. It is preferable that the site targeting you is in the same niche or something relevant and the tag has your specific keyword. This will give your site more weight and, in turn, improve your search engine rankings.

Now, what does the digital dot coop network have to do with getting backlinks? Well, how it works is that when you sign up, you add links on your site. The more links you add to your site, the more co-op weight you will receive; in this case, it means more links you will get pointing to your site. This method has helped many internet and affiliate marketers rank top and even beat wiki, the question is how long do you stay ranked and could you get kicked out?

Personally, I don’t recommend this method for anyone trying to invest long-term in their site or run a long-term link building campaign. Might work well on those spam blogs built for AdSense, but yeah…
