Write about something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the topic and will be eager to go to your website. Informative how to articles seem to work the best. Include a resource box at the end of your article with a link to your site and a little bit about yourself. Submit these articles to several online article directories. Not only will it be displayed on the article website giving you a backlink, other site owners can use your article, as long as they keep your link in it, giving you links from related websites for free.
