If your goal is to build traffic for your real estate website there is no better way than free advertising. Simply put, your real estate website link should appear where interested people can see it – and click it.
But free advertising and real estate link building doesn’t come without effort. You have to do some work placing your link on other websites. But when you know where to go to strategically place your real estate website link the process becomes easier and faster.
Here are some easy ways you can get your real estate website link in many places:
Social Media
Create numerous accounts in many social networking websites and put your link there frequently. Some common popular social websites are Digg, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Del.icio.us, and the ever popular Facebook. When you sign up for an account you can begin interacting in the social community by submitting your real estate website link and engaging in discussions. The more you participate the more your real estate website link will show up.
Blogging and Commenting
A frequently updated real estate website helps with search engine rankings. But in addition to your regular blogging, you should read other real estate website blogs and make frequent comments. It does not need to be much, just a line or two. But when you do you commonly have the option to leave your name and web link. Frequent blog comments can drive a lot of traffic to your website.
Article directory submissions
There are also many article submission websites such as EzineArticles, and GoArticles.If you can spare a moment or two every now & then, write and submit a good, short article with great content that contains links to your real estate website. These article sites have many readers so they could potentially drive significant new traffic to your real estate website.
These are just a few examples, but link building is an important step for generating new and on-going traffic to your websites. Get out there and create some links!

I didn’t forget, just didn’t cover them on this article 
, but forums and directories are another great resource to obtain one-way links. While there are 1000s of free directories, as with life the best ones you’ll need to pay for.
Nice blog post, I follow all of these pieces of advice. Though I am finding my main website is getting dubbed as of late.
You forgot forums and directories! Those are 2 additional places you can get links and traffic for free. (only some directories are free)
I just thought I would add this because if you did those 5 things you would have a very well rounded link/traffic building campaign.
Your right Cedar City, very link helps
Social bookmarking is the sure shot method of link building. But you need to know the limits and not to overdo it as it can lead to banning of your site from such sites.
Social book marking is definately they way forward, however I would recommend not putting all your eggs in one basket. We all know how the rules of the search engines can change quickly
Great stuff. Nice to read some well written posts that have some relevancy !
