Deep links can determine the success or failure of every website. In this article I will tell you how to get deep links with almost zero effort. But first, let’s talk about why deep links are so necessary. Imagine a website (say, “website A”) with thousands of external links that point to the homepage, but with no links from external domains pointing to its own pages. This is unnatural behaviour that looks like spam, because if “website A” contains content of good quality, why is that content only on the homepage? Do the site’s other pages contain lower-quality content? It simply looks suspicious. Generally speaking, deep links are more valuable than links to the homepage for a number of reasons.

No matter whether you sell items or show AdSense ads on your website, deep links are needed because of positions in search engines. Each deep link gives a page more weight. It usually works this way: a homepage is an entry point, while internal pages create profit. So if you want your website to receive targeted traffic and to increase sales, it is necessary to get deep links from other websites. Once internal pages of your website acquire inbound links, you will notice a reasonable increase in traffic. The problem is that people tend to only link to informative pages. Then there is another type of linkers: the paid ones. However, to pay for links of good quality, it is necessary to spend a minimum of $200-300 each month. Once you want to acquire 50+ quality deep links, that cost will rise to around $500.

Fortunately, there is more than one way to get deep links: you can exchange deep links with related websites, you can leave signatures in forums, you can place links to related forums, you can post comments on blogs, you can even buy new hosting accounts and host domains there, with content containing deep links to the pages you are aiming at. However, with the exception of the first option, these are more or less spam techniques. So is there any other way? The answer is yes.

A long time ago, I started opendirectory.services-seo.net. As time went by I added to the script, but eventually found the directory idea disappointing. However, after revealing that submitalink.net is available for registration, I decided to move the entire directory to that domain. The point is this: a directory is free, but submitters must provide a link to some URL in order to be considered for review.

Your website will not receive thousands of deep links overnight, but it will gather links from websites which would never link to it otherwise. Unique IP addresses, unique C-Class IP addresses, unique topics.

This is the easiest way to acquire deep links with minimal effort! Of course, you must maintain the directory, and it requires a good PageRank to be liked by visitors. Nowadays many webmasters do SEO for their websites, and many of them don’t mind placing a link on their pages, because if they want something from you, they should do something for you too.
