Buy A Membership

Regardless of what type of site you own or industry you're in it's highly likely there's a trade association associated with it. Joining these organizations provides multiple business benefits but from a link building standpoint here are two really good ones:

The Association has a website you can be listed on - and
The Association has like businesses as members.

With the push to link with sites in same or complimentary niches, being a member of your trade association makes it easy to identify potential link partners. All you have to do is research the membership database, determine which sites would be your best "link partner bet" and then ask/rent a link from them.

Once the link's in place, the next step is to do a little referral link marketing....
