Building Backlinks to your Site

If you're new here, you may want to browse my articles and if you like them please subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Previously I spoke about backlinks and submitting to directories, and explained that backlinks are incoming links to your site from other sites and how having more backlinks will benefit your traffic as well as your Google PageRank.

Remember your Anchor Text

Try using anchor text that will be used by others when they use search engines, a relevant anchor text for which I like to use for my site would be Blogging tips. Search engines pick up links and the more they find the anchor text with blogging the higher the ranking on the search engines. This will apply to any other anchor text too.

Tips to obtain more Backlinks?


There are many ways to obtain backlinks and here is a few:

1. Write Articles

Submitting your articles to articles directory such as EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, Web Pro News, Site Reference, Article Dashboard to name a few, Many other publishers will go to these sites and reprint them on their site, which of course will give you an extra backlink too.

2. Submit to Directories

Will not touch here as my other post called 50 directories to submit your site too will go into more detail.

3. Web 2.0 Social Networking Sites

Web 2.0 social networking sites are good source to build quality backlinks and search engine likes them. This isn’t very difficult to do and many of the backlinks you can build there are quality one way link (no reciprocal link required), which carries more weight with search engines.

4. Forums

Find a forum that is relevant, fill in your profile including a picture and your website,etc and start chatting with other members don’t promote your site from day one but slowly build you your network, Dailymoolah has a list of forums and there relevant PageRank.

5. Buy text links

Buying text links is the one of the easiest ways to get backlinks and they are one ways links which is always the best. However, Google doesn’t like the sale of links and they will penalize you for the purchase of links but still is a very popular form of backlinks.

So I have just given you 5 ways to gain backlinks, do you have any other ways?

      Thank you Simon for sharing another useful post. I must admit that your RSS feed is for me on top priority. Did you intentionally left out link exchange between other bloggers, popular as Blogging Roll? How one can get into your blogging roll, what are your conditions?

      Cheers.

      Backlinks are the #1 way to increase rank and traffic. More time should be given to building banklinks than to any other aspect of SEO.
