We all know the benefit of building backlinks to your site. Backlinks are the links pointing to your web site in other sites. I previously wrote about several ways to build your backlinks in my posts - Get Started With Reciprocal LinkingWrite Articles to increase your website’s visitorsFree Directories To Submit Your SiteViralink - Improve Your Page RankTips On Building Your Back Links.

Link building improves your site’s rank on search engines, as well as your PageRank. So here is a new idea to build and explode! your site’s backlinks - Sponsor A WordPress Theme:

How To Sponsoring A WordPress Theme:

There are various wordpress templates, from which you may search for one to sponsor. This means that you could easily buy a footer link that will be placed next to the author credit link on a brand new wordpress template.

As the Wordpress theme gets released, promoted and downloaded by other users, the link to your website will show up on other wordpress blogs.

Benefits Of Sponsoring A WordPress Theme:

As link building improves your search engine results rank, theme sponsorship is an effective method for building your backlinks. Theme sponsorship can be a long-term link building strategy that will helps you to increase your keyword rankings.

Wordpress themes are downloaded crazily every day! Some top wordpress themes got downloaded over 20,000 times, and continue to download every single day. Imagine if your link was sponsored on it?!

Where Can You Find WordPress Themes To Sponsor?

To sponsor a wordpress theme, you can privately contacting specific wordpress theme designers and asking if they could create a custom designed template that allows you to sponsor a specific link.

Another alternative is to browse around the various Wordpress Theme websites and email specific theme authors who have a history of allowing sponsored footer links in their theme.

The cost of sponsoring a wordpress theme could vary between $150 to $200, as it is a long term link building strategy. You may find an opportunity to sponsor one for less than that if you are lucky!

    I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
    and I want to get the most bang for my buck.

    Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:

    http://tinyurl.com/38sojf

    This is where you’re going to find the “latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers” from
    Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.

    Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.

    You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
    Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
    there as low as 75% off sticker price.

    You can also cover industry events especially if you put interviews of famous people. It can be a good source of links. You can also add charts and animation. You can also give away gifts and prizes that can spur the interest of your consumer, and, thus, get links.

    actually I’m a theme author and I’m open to theme sponsorship:)
    Another good ideas to get backlinks:
    try to think of a way to “widgetize” your site or service. You can hire someone to create a small widget or blog plugin for you for 1-200$ so its not a big deal.
    It can be anything… for instance the “Say No To Pagerank, Yes to Life” crys for a plugin which would make it easy to embed it to sidebars and etc.
    A good widget idea can create huge amount of backlinks, technorati rank, etc in one word: popularity with the same effort as a good blog post
