I just added an excellent article by Titus Hoskins to my articles directory. Titus Hoskins discusses how to get more backlinks using a technique that I doubt many online marketers are exploiting, namely Google Alerts.

How To Build Backlinks via Google Alerts
By Titus Hoskins (c) 2008

Building backlinks is an essential, yet tedious job for most
webmasters. Here are a few tools and tips to make that job just
a little bit easier...

I am a member of many online forums. Most of these forums have
to do with online marketing and site promotion. Recently, I
came across a post on Ken Evoy's SBI forum that truly caught my
attention.

It basically described how to use Google Alerts to build your
backlinks. Now for those not familiar with Google Alerts a little
explanation is probably needed.

Google Alerts

Google Alerts is a free program run by Google that allows you to
keep track of any topic on the web. You select your "keywords"
or "urls" and Google will alert you via email whenever links/
content containing your selected topics appear anywhere on the
web.

It is an excellent way to keep informed about your own domain or
name. It is also perfect for keeping up-to-date on the latest
information in your market niche or niches. It's also a great
way to find out what other people are saying about you or your
site.

For example: if you have a site on "antique cars" then you would
create a Google Alert for those keywords. Google will alert you
by email whenever a new link/content related to those keywords
appears on the web.

This is a great way to stay informed in your niche, but it is
also a valuable source of potential linking partners. Many of
those links are blogs that will allow comments with a link back
to your site.
