Want a free link to your blog from the highly respected, high pagerank, and highly trafficked Problogger.net? Me too.

Here are three ways to get a free link from Problogger.net.

1. When Darren asks for links, get off you bum and start writing like there is no tomorrow. Of course make it relevant to his request. Just sitting there is passing up a free link from this awesome website, and we already agreed we don’t want to do that.

2. Participate in group writing projects (an example). Problogger occasionally runs group writing projects. Not only will you get a link from problogger.net (multiple times) there are also great prizes you could win also. There aren’t many reasons not to get off your bum and participate in the group writing projects.

Another benefit is, because there are so many entries you might not see a huge spike in traffic, however multiple blogs syndicate Darren’s list, so you will get steady traffic and backlinks from many more blogs.

3. Write good content and then promote it! This is highly influenced by GrayWolf, Darren himself, and copyblogger (to link just a few sources on writing good content). And then promote it, email bloggers that are “outlink friendly”, like Problogger, and let them know you exist and have great content their readers might like.

Why am I qualified to write on the topic?

I’ve gotten a link from problogger.com on a group writing project.

I’ve gotten a link from Problogger.com from writing good content and then promoting it.

And finally I’m writing this post because Darren asked for links to articles his readers would like to read (and even though I missed the cut off time, darn timezones, hopefully he’ll find it interesting enough to link to)

However I’m not really “qualified”, lol, this is just a conversation starter. Does anybody else have any great ways to get a free link from Problogger.net or other promotion techniques they love and want to share?

edit:In my haste to write the article quickly I originally called the website problogger.com. The real great site is Problogger.net. My apologies (my next post might be called “how not to get a free link from problogger.net”), lol.
