How do I get links?

[Prophets]

How do I go about getting other sites webmasters to link to mine? I am confused :(

Also you now those directorys that list top sites? How do I get on one of those?

Hi Prophets and welcome! The answer to your question in one easy sentence: create reasons (content) for people to link to you.

There is a great thread at the top of this category (link Building (http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=44)) that details the basics of link building (http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=2616). You will find some good threads by scrolling through the category pages, as well.

Other great discussions occur at Jill's High Rankings Forum, where she also has a section for link development (http://www.highrankings.com/forum/index.php?s=&showforum=10).
