Other sites in search for content for their own sites are allowed to use your article with the provision that the resource box remains intact. You now have yet another site linked to yours.

By using press releases you can call attention to your business. In addition you'll also benefit from the links you've create through the press release syndication itself.
5) PLAY 'TAG'
Visit social sites such as Digg, Technorati, or Delicious and read some of the articles there. Not only is this a great way to find new ideas for content but you also can tag articles you like; by doing so others will take note and may just return the favor.
6) LOOK AROUND YOUR OWN NICHE
Seek out sites within your own niche that have strong page rankings. Check out their content and look for opportunities to link to them. By doing so you've now gained their attention so that they may consider linking back to you if your content shows some value to them.
