Build some links with Online galleries
It’s a known fact now that links are good for SEO. I am not going to sell you the benefits of links, that’s been done many times everywhere on the web. Building links takes times and effort but generally pays on the long term.
If you have a decent design, a good way to get links is to submit your site to web galleries. Web galleries started to appear a few years ago when everyone was talking about web 2.0 and CSS. At this times, designers started to care more about design. The use of cascading stylesheet quickly became the way to go and everything was for the best.
There is now tons of galleries around. Most of them featuring any website as long as they look good. Others focusing on niche category like blogs, one page portfolio or w3c valid sites.
So if you think your design looks good enough here are the main galleries you should try to get featured on:
http://cssvault.com/
Page rank 8, the highest pr of my selection.
http://cssremix.com/
Page rank 7, one of the oldest still around.
http://bestwebgallery.com/
Page rank 6, features any type of site, even flash but very selective.
http://www.stylegala.com/
Page rank 7, I’ve heard it was the most hard to get featured on. Never got anything published there.
http://cssmania.com/
Page rank 7. An other very good one, updated very frequently.
I estimate at around 150 the number of galleries live. Of course most are unknown and wont gives you any good links. But If you’ve spent money on your design it definitely worth a try. Submissions usually take 2 minutes.
