Are You Linked on the Top 50 Sites on the Web?

As you work to build up your website and bring in more traffic, consider whether or not you are connected to the top 50 websites on the Web.  It is definitely important to build up links naturally from relative sites, but it also makes sense to bring in links from the top of the top.

There was a time when many of these sites were locked down and shut out smaller sites, but today in an age of growing social media it is now easier than ever to build up links from many if not most of these sites.  So go out there, do a self assessment on your backlinks and consider whether or not you are hitting with these top sites and if you are not, create a short list of the top sites that have yet to link to you in some form, shape or fashion.  Then check back maybe on a quarterly basis and try again if you do not make it in on the first try.

Here's the list of the top 50 websites according to traffic:
