Simple Ways to Get Backlinks
You’ve probably heard the term from me time and time again. A lot of your search engine ranking effort is in your backlinks. I won’t get into the discussion of page rank and backlinks, nor will I talk about reciprocal linking, or link trading. But I will tell you that you need high page ranking sites to link to you, and there are 3 time-tested methods that will get you great backlinks with no cost. Article directories, commenting on blogs, and forums.
Article Directories:
If you’re not writing articles for your website or blog, you’re probably not getting too many backlinks to your site. Article directories (at least the top ones) have great page rank. And they will share it with you if you write great articles and put your site in the “About the Author” section. Also, this will not only get you great backlinks from the article directories, but others who decide to use your article on their website or blog.
Comments:
Commenting on other blogs is extremely dangerous if not done properly. People can consider you spam, block you, or report your site. The best way to comment on other people’s blogs or websites is to find a blog directory and hand pick specific blogs in your particular niche. Then, when you’re ready to comment, READ THE POST, and add good content. This is not only helpful to the other readers, but also gives the blog owner the knowledge that you’re not just spamming them.
Forums:
Another great tactic that has been overlooked for a time. Most forums allow you to place website URLs on the signature of the posts you make. Some don’t. Find a forum that is worth your time and effort, and one that will offer you good advice to add onto your website or blog. Then, get involved with the forum, posting good, useful posts with your website on the signature. This will not only give you backlinks, but will also allow viewers to click your websites, giving you instant traffic.
