Quick Start Guide for Travel Linkbuilding
Getting started with linkbuilding for travel websites can be tough. Many people’s first thoughts are “Where do I start and how should I do it?”. Let me answer that question for you.
#1 Submit your website to travel directories
Go to the following websites and submit your travel site:
#2 Submit your website to forums
Visite these forums and post some threads and replies related to your keywords. Use your keywords to link to your website. These forums hand you the ability to link your text in the textbox.
- travel.latimes.com/message-boards/index.php
- www.aardvarktravel.net/chat
- www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/index.jspa
#3 Submit your website to social networks
Ning.com makes it possible for you to submit your own content and create your own profile with links to your website. Just like with forums, you can decide which text will actually link to your website.
#4 Submit your website to blogs in the comments
You can comment on travel blogs related to your keywords. I will not list any websites here, but I will tell you how to find them. We are going to use Google for this.
Use the search query in Google and change YOUR_KEYWORD to your city or country. Open the search query in Google. Then comment at the bottom of the pages. Comment on at least 5-10 related blogs.
#5 Answer related questions on Q&A sites
Go to the following websites, search for people asking questions related to your city or country and answer them with good information.

Sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place!
Very intresting post! Thanks Maurice for all informations and tricks about travel sites SEO!
Thanks Maurice! I’ve just found your site today and already found some nuggets of useful info. Although I work full-time for a travel company I also run a couple of travel sites as a hobby and have just set up an SEO friendly travel-niche directory that might be useful to anyone else promoting a travel site. Any quality travel-related website submissions are welcome, and if you need a category that doesn’t already exist I’ll set one up for you!.
Maurice, you are such a brilliant mind and you just shared the whole thing for a travel site!That is really cool, thanks a lot!
Hi, I’m a long time reader but first time commentor. I must say, you have an excellent blog! Btw, where might I find your RSS feed?
I lost this great page for a while, but now it is bookmarked! Wizz.travel was a great resource, yahoo recognized it fast as a backlink and we’ve got some traffic for it… and I do not work for wizz.travel :-) Thanks for your help!

I do love the use of forums because you can link to your text within the text box, and people who are visiting the forums are there for the same reason as you, so that is primarily your niche market. Perfect!

Great post this has lots of useful information on how to build links.
Great post and nice blog Maurice. Enjoying reading some of the content on your blog. These are sure-fire ways to start promoting a new travel site with link building.
nice :-/ internet going crazy
The hardest out of the above would probably be getting into Dmoz – its horrendous, and its almost standard practise to become an editor just to get your site in.
Hi Rory,
It’s not really that hard if the editor is still alive :) I have been able to get into DMOZ within only a few days for one site. Other sites never got approved.
My advice about DMOZ is: Just do it. It only takes 3 minutes. You never know what’s gonna happen.
Do you have any advice for actually getting listed in dmoz? From what I understand, it’s pretty much unmanned and no one really gets accepted anymore.
If there is a trick too it, I’d certainly like to know.
I could say that this is the first detailed and step-by-step travel site optimization and it can not only be used in relation to travel sites but to other themes as well. I have been looking for such information for long and feel really thankful for it.
Hey thanks for the post. I have a question. My website, which is about for real estate I want to optimized its sub page which is for travel how can i do this right through this process you posted or ..
please reply..
It seems like you already did ;-) Your link on here worked too. Can you maybe be more specific as to what kind of optimization help you need?
Great job Maurice. I bookmarked this post and this will help alot when I promote my site.
Thanks so much Tom! Hope to see you around here!
Thanks for sharing your tips and advices …
your article was really really helpful! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing information….
Hi thank you for sharing this information. A great source for links are not only normal directorys rss directory works very well too. Most Blogs have already an rss feed adn you can submit it.
Check out my site http://www.vocabularybuilding.org for how to improve your vocabulary
Great tip: submit to http://wizz.travel !
I even have a better tip: submit your travel site for a Priority review and get 5 deep links and a link to your last 5 RSS feed posts.
Cheers
John
