1. Pay for links. (warning if Google detects this you could be banned.
2. Write something mean about something and email sites that like what you wrote about. For instance, create an article about how much you hate cats and email it to ilovecats.com. If your lucky, they may post about how much they hate you. Yay.
3. Do something so wrong you get in the news. Then news sites around the web will link to you.
4. Sue a famous website. There’s no better way to get on the news!
5. Create a blog about how much you love Hitler. Everyone will link to you to spread the news so they can burn down your house.
6. Threaten another website owner similarly to you publically on your site. Tell him how you are going to pwn their site.
7. Post only your link on sites,forums,wikis, and blogs that clearly state you cannot post links.
8. Edit a Wikipedia(or other wiki) page and put your link in huge letters.
9. Get sued. If it is a company everyone hates or everyone loves your in.
10. Ask if you like this product(the one you sell) on forums or in comments.
11. Make sure you comment, "great post" on 50 different dofollow blogs every day that have comment love.
12. Oh, and don’t forget to fill you name with keywords.
13. Link exchange with someone. Then, the next day change it to nofollow.
14. The ultimate Pr scam: Link exchange with a ton of sites. Then, a week before the predicted pr update change all the links to dofollow. Some may figure it out, but not all of the sites you linked to. Finally, watch as your pr climbs and theirs falls.
15. Email Problogger, CNN, Boing Boing, and Youtube asking for a link exchange.
16. Don’t let anyone get away. If a webmaster says no to your offer, don’t give up. Send him and email every day, every new post, every time you get a new comment. Don’t give up if he ignores your email adress. Email him from a new one.
17. Stalk him or her and mysteriously put your business card with your URl on it in his house. He might think a ghost or spirit is telling him something.
18. Scratch other people’s cars. Leave a note that displays your link. Tell them if they link to you you will pay them back. Who knows? It could be the owner of Lifehacker.
