One alternative is to create an easy-to-use software tool and place it on your website in order to attract users to link to it, converting it into something that becomes prominent. Think about what kind of user friendly tool can you possibly be offering your customers with, and set it up for them.

1. Effective Ways to Generate Backlinks
Using Software tools
WordPress.org has a page rank of 9, which makes it a popular website as most bloggers
use the WordPress blogging software, one of the main reasons of its popularity. A word
press link and favicon is always visible on the site of people who use the software. And if
a million users have blogs powered by WordPress, you will get strong incoming links
composition. The famous WordPress blogging software has the potential of collecting
incoming links in bulk by distributing its blogging software among people.

Affiliate programs do help
Incoming links can be drawn by associate programs. They use unique altered URLs to
keep a track on which link was responsible for which sales. For instance, Amazon has a
number of such affiliates that link to them and look like:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/87643489
Certainly, these are inbound links to Amazon, but of a sub-page whose page rank is not
the issue for the site. However, to test the strength of these links you can send them out
to go through pagerank and link equity to the site’s homepage by using the redirect
or/and a tool like mod_rewrite.
Generating links by socializing
We often fail to notice an influential social networking feature of generating links. If you
have strong contacts in your industry or in any other industry, you can for sure use them
to generate incoming links to your site. Nothing has stronger effect than social
networking to build incoming link strategies, and then whether it’s an online social
networking or socializing in business conferences, it does not make much of a difference.
Balancing links
Definitely, you would not want to get incoming links from one type of website or only to
your homepage and not other sub pages. This will make search engines doubt the
genuineness of the incoming links. Therefore, maintaining a balance of the links is
necessary. You can achieve this by striving for an 80/20 balance. Your goal should be to
get 80% of links from relevant sites and 20% links from non-relevant or other sites.
Likewise, 80% going to the homepage and 20% going to other sub-pages; 80% of links
dedicated to keywords and 20% to “click here” text; 80% to one-way links and 20% to
reciprocal links and so forth.
Don't make your site look excessively optimized for this may lead to lack of interest. All
you need to do is make it a balanced combination of everything relevant.

2. Even a good website needs good online visibility
Having a great site is not enough, there is much more to a website than just ranking
well. As most webmasters feel, all a website needs is to look good and with this attribute
it will attract visitors. But, that is not enough. You must come up with strategies to build
and increase the inbound links of your website rather than spending unnecessary time on
decorating your website.
There are sites which have good followers but the reason they are not on the top is
because of the poor search engine positioning. Due to this, these websites lack proper
online visibility, and so everyone cannot see the website pages thereafter raising no
question of linking to them.
The moment your site reaches the stage of being at the top of search engines, your site
will be showered with links from all over even if you don't need them. It is simply
because of substantial online presence. If your site appears on the first page of search
engines for a competitive keyword, your site can collect numerous links without even
trying. But a poorly linked website, fails to get this advantage and it is highly tough for
that site to obtain links.
Keep trying to get links
Acquiring links is a challenge in the initial stages and is a sheer disappointment when
even after trying with every possible technique; websites do not link to your site. Even
after this, smart online marketing experts will never give up. They find keyword-relevant
websites ranking decently well on search engines and try hard to match the level of their
competitors in link building strategies. A combination of the above strategies and
provision of content to sites will make your competitors lack behind, whereas you will
soon outranking them with your pages appearing at the top.
