Finding more links to your site and growing your email list (continued)

 Other Artists

This category is pretty much limitless. There are hundreds of thousands of musicians all over the internet with their own website or hosted web pages that they can trade links from. It's a good idea to find local bands first. Again, you should also try to trade mentions in each others email lists while making your link exchange requests..

 In summary..

Link trading can feel like it's time consuming and tedious and sometimes it doesn't bear much fruit.. at first!! Look at your efforts to exchange links with local businesses as a great opportunity to build relationships with these businesses and you'll begin to get the bigger picture. Go on and meet these people in person, thank them for their link, give them a CD, ask them to come to a show, etc. These are the people that might put your posters up on their walls, or sell your CD's from a small kiosk on the counter top. Trading links can be a great lead builder AND it's a great way to get better results in the search engines. Good luck!
