There are many ways to get others to link to your website but the most successful require effort on your part.

As such, you need to build relationships with these people in your targeted niches.

• Ask. This may sound overly simple but providing a “Link to Us” page on your site with a few buttons and text descriptions can garner new links to your site. At the end of every post or page, encourage visitors to add a link to your site. Of course, it never hurts to ask in this case, it can often get you exactly what you want!
• Build a rapport and relationship with others in your niche. You might find that an authority or a “guru” will link back to you, just because of this.
• Be a list builder. Lists are the most popular “101 Ways to…,” “10 Tips for…,” “Top 10…,” “5 Myths About…,” etc. are always good for attracting links. They are easy to read, have a lot of great information and can establish you as the “expert” in your field, as you build your links.
• Build a “little black book” online and fill it with resources related to your niche or website. Keep a lot of valuable information in here, resource sites, experts, celebrity interest, etc., and this will be good for a back link.
• Write articles and submit them to the top 10 article directories at Alexa, as well as to other websites that use articles in your niche topic.
• Contact bloggers in your niche who have large followings and offer them original guest posts on a topic that fits their blogs—with a live link to your website, of course.
• Become the “go-to” person for whatever it is you do. For example, Jimmy Brown became known as the PLR guru because he, effectively, invented it. If you do something significant in your niche, people will really want to associate with you and post a link to your website on their portal. In this kind of an environment, a virtual assistant can thrive, generating incredible numbers of potential long term contacts for your business.
• Tell all your family members and friends about a new article on your site or a new resource, asking them to link to it if they would be so good.
• Write posts or articles about companies that create links to corporate news on their sites. If you visit the corporate website and look for media links, you will find backlinks to material written about the company on the Internet. The larger companies have automatic alerts established to find such articles and blog posts, in order for them to link up.
• Consider DMOZ and other free directories, which are great for establishing links to your site. These directory links can be quite powerful and if you spend a few hours submitting your site, you can get some great links in a short space of time.
• Don’t forget your local area when you establish links. Submit your site to local websites, directories, organizations, etc. Find groups that establish lists of their member sites. Sponsor contests that build links to your site. Do everything that you can think of to build backlinks. And to take advantage of this quickly, seriously consider taking on a virtual assistant, or even several virtual assistants as part of a team to maximise your efforts in a very short span of time.
It does take time to build a lot of quality back links, but the effort is worth it. Imagine how many new visitors and readers you could obtain with each additional backlink you receive.
