SEO Barriers - Inadequate Inbound Links

A lack of popular inbound links is a problem when it comes to good SEO. Without a healthy number of high quality links that point back, you'll be at a huge disadvantage. Promoting your site to build inbound links is one of the most important ways to increase page rank. There are many ways this can be done:

1. Use XML news feeds to syndicate content to other sites
2. Register feeds with news aggregators
3. Write articles on topics for other sites and have a bio link to your site
4. Create useful content properly, in ways that work for the web.
   
5. Publicize new content with press releases.
   
6. Get listed in major directories under appropriate categories
7. Utilize social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace
8. Get links from industry websites and discussion forums
9. Use "high end" link exchanges, partner with others, and exchange links

Do these important things and you will be well on your way to a higher search rank, and getting out there. The easier it is to find you, the better your site will be.
