Links are important since they help us get more traffic to our sites and better search engine rankings. Targeted links are the ones that really count though!
What is a targeted link? A link from a site that reaches your target market. 8-) For example, if you sell bowling balls, a link from a site about cats isn’t targeted. But a link from a site that discusses bowling technique, lists bowling ball reviews, or sells bowling shoes would be a good targeted link for you.
If you’re a crafter or artist, stop by these 9 crafting or arts sites and request your free link! Some may require a link back while others don’t. Just check the terms as you submit your info to see what’s required for each.
