If you provide your customers with a superior product/service most will be happy to help you grow your business. All you have to do is ask. Here are some tips on getting clients and users to link to your website.

- Include a request in all outgoing e-mails, paid receipts, letters and shipments.

- Brick-and-Mortar businesses can easily print up business cards requesting a link. Hand them out to all your customers. For strictly online business include a few of these cards in each order.

- Ask customers to write a review in their blog about your product/service.

- Offer a discount or incentive on their next order to increase the response rate.

The trick is to let the customer know you are trying to “grow” your business. Everyone wants to be apart of something successful.

While my site is only several months old I already have many regular readers. If you find my site helpful I would appreciate it if you would help me grow my readership base with a link and recommendation. Thanks in advance!

That was pretty simple!
