Quick Start Guide for Travel Linkbuilding

After reading this post, come follow me on Twitter for more advice!

Getting started with linkbuilding for travel websites can be tough. Many people’s first thoughts are “Where do I start and how should I do it?”. Let me answer that question for you.


#1 Submit your website to travel directories

Go to the following websites and submit your travel site:

* www.dmoz.org/Recreation/Travel
* www.hoteldirectory.ws
* www.wizz.travel


#2 Submit your website to forums

Visite these forums and post some threads and replies related to your keywords. Use your keywords to link to your website. These forums hand you the ability to link your text in the textbox.

* travel.latimes.com/message-boards/index.php
* www.aardvarktravel.net/chat
* www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/index.jspa


#3 Submit your website to social networks

Ning.com makes it possible for you to submit your own content and create your own profile with links to your website. Just like with forums, you can decide which text will actually link to your website.

* htnetwork.ning.com
* socialnetwork.agentsky.net
* www.travelblogexchange.com


#4 Submit your website to blogs in the comments

You can comment on travel blogs related to your keywords. I will not list any websites here, but I will tell you how to find them. We are going to use Google for this.

Use the search query in Google and change YOUR_KEYWORD to your city or country. Open the search query in Google. Then comment at the bottom of the pages. Comment on at least 5-10 related blogs.


#5 Answer related questions on Q&A sites

Go to the following websites, search for people asking questions related to your city or country and answer them with good information.

* www.blurtit.com
* www.help.com
* www.yedda.com
