The Top Free Backlinking Techniques

Sorry for the noob question,
Whats the difference between article submission and directory submission?

I thought they are 'article directories'?

SEO is like a business you need to invest and spend your time first before you can achieved your main goal. Google is more wiser than you think and by creating quality backlinks you need to be more human.

Here are few methods you can explore

- Combine your site content and make small tutorial and submit to massive tutorial distribution sites (Search google for such sites)
-Convert your content into powerpoint slides and submit to slide-sharing sites
-use blog carnivals to drive targeted traffic

For better or worse, I like going after keywords that I know will bring in a flood of traffic. I go after them from the word go. And I know I have marathon of fight in front of me. The thing is, though, the experience of that lets you know just about every strategy that is out there for ranking a site. Once you secure one of these keywords for the first time, you'll have fought such a hard battle that it won't be very likely you'll rest on your laurels and just allow that site to sit ... because there is always competition. I'll continue to make backlinks and do everything I can to maintain that position.

And the first time will be the hardest. That's the good news. What is learned from this experience will also give the confidence to go after any keyword that will bring in a ton of traffic and sales. If it takes 4-6 months to rank for a keyword or a group of keywords that can potentially bring in thousands of dollars per month, that's more than sufficient motivation to keep working when the site is bringing in next to nothing. At least that is my thinking.
