Establishing Inbound Links

<p>First time here. I am in the process of constructing a new website. When completed, I would like to establish some significant one-way (inbound) links. I understand this boosts your ranking with Google. I would like to establish a link from National Geographic to my site. (They used one of my images in their their 2008 calendar.) I'm not sure where to start at NG to get in touch with the right person. Any suggtestions other than calling the receptionist? Any help would be appreciated.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Have you seen any other links on their web site that show up in the same context that you'd like yours to?</p>

<p>This sounds like you want your advertising on NG pages. Perhaps for a price NG could possibly modify their web pages and place there link to your web site.<br />If you are a rich person, then anything seems possible.<br>

If you are more concerned with Google? perhaps advertising with Google could get you more visibility ?</p>

 

<p>This is a great way to boost your google page rank, and it's worth a shot. But if you sold the rights to your image then I don't know if they'll be open to backlinking. It depends on NG's website policy. What would be more beneficial is to get other backlinks for sites that are in the context of your type of photography, say nature photography and link it with that keyword: "nature photography" That way your site, ie: nature-photography.com, gets inbound links for that particular keyword search in Google. Google has yet to find semantic value in images. The best you can do is use the ALT tag in all your images to label them contextually. Hope that helps!</p>
