When first setting up a business many don't know that they can be working on developing backlinks to their site before the initial launch.
Yes, there are many items to be handled before launching your new small business, but by starting your search engine optimization (acronym SEO ) early, you'll notice increased page rankings.
A really good method for ecommerce sites is to have a sweepstakes for your grand opening. You can market this on several sweepstakes websites and obtain backlinks to your website. This method can be called link bait and is a great way to generate interest in your business before the launch. You'll also find that by using social sites as a marketing tool for your sweepstakes, that bloggers will also link back to your site. The other nice advantage of this is that you'll have a small email list to work with before the store even opens.
Don't have a ecommerce site? Try a logo design contest, email template contest, or give away a product that relates to your industry. What ever you choose make sure it will entice others to link to your site.
You'll be the early bird and taste the worm before many other businesses by doing some SEO for backlinks before your website launch. Give it a try, it works!
