Why do I need backlinks?
Who cares if you have any backlinks! Well, actually the search engines do… quite a lot actually.
They take into consideration, how many sites link to your webpage, and consider it to be a kind of “vote” for your site. I mean who would link to a site that had no useful info on it, or provided no value?
Another thing that gets factored into the equation is the quality of those backlinks pointing at you. Do you have 30 PR0 sites linking to you? Perhaps you have twenty or so links from sites on the same IP? (All from your other websites, it’s assumed) Perhaps you have mastered the art of blog commenting to the 9th degree, and have 10,000 of those, and only those?
It’s a good idea to have a healthy mix of backlinks; your goal here is to target three things.
- Quality –you can’t beat a high PR backlink from an authority site in your niche after all.
- Relevance – having a site in your niche link to you carries more weight than having one from a website on a totally different topic.
- Quantity – Do you know how to outrank your competition? It’s easy! Build more quality links than them!
Building backlinks should be an ongoing part of any website’s marketing plans. Do some keyword research, calculate just what you need in order to rise to the next level, or SERP (Search Engine Ranking Position) and decide on the number of links you’re going to build on a monthly or weekly basis. If you’re not comfortable you can always outsource work like this to other companies, or even other website owners.
I have to be constantly building backlinks for my own sites, so I have no problem taking on a handful of clients each month, and adding their site into my own backlink building program.
“Remember! The more roads that lead to your website or blog the more potential traffic you’ll receive”
Where Do I find Backlinks?
There is one question that I seem to answer at least once a week.
“Where can I find more backlinks?”
Here are some of the backlinks I personally build for my sites, you can implement some, or all of them depending on your needs. Not all niches will need a ton of backlinks, if your company or website is in a specialized niche with very little competition, you may only need a handful of high quality backlinks to ensure a first page rank.
These are in no particular order, use the one’s you feel most comfortable with.
Forum Links – A good way to build traffic to your site (and pick up some backlinks) is to join a forum in your field, if you start answering questions in an online forum you will soon be considered to be an expert in your field, and people will be inclined to click on your signature link to visit your website.
Add a small link to your site at the bottom in your “signature” (remember to follow the forum rules, and don’t spam simply to get your link out there)
Social Bookmarking – Social bookmarking sites allow us to bookmark our favorite sites, stories, blog posts, pictures, etc, all around the web. Some of the more common one’s that I’m sure you’ve heard of are Digg, Stumbleupon, or Delicious. There are literally hundreds and even thousands more, and at each one you can create a bookmark (which is also a backlink) to your site, as well as any other you find interesting! I receive thousands of visitors a month to each of my sites from just one of the bookmarking sites I’ve listed above. Bookmarking should be a part of everyone’s backlink building strategy!
Article Marketing – This is probably one of the oldest methods for driving traffic, and building backlinks. There are thousands and thousands of article directories on the internet today. How do you get a backlink from them? It’s simple, just submit an article you’ve written, or have the rights to, and voila! You now have a backlink from their directory to your site. Remember, not all directories are created equal, start at the top and work your way down. Choose the highest quality article directories first. Again, decide on your backlink schedule, and build accordingly. Whether or not you decide on submitting to 20 directories or 200 directories a month, the most important thing is to try and stick to a schedule.
“Consistency is the key to a good backlink building strategy!”
Blog Comments – Commenting on blogs in your niche (or others) can also be a great way to build backlinks to your site, or blog. When leaving comments always go for quality over quantity, if you leave a comment that adds value to the discussion, or post then it’s much more likely that someone reading the comment will click through to your website where you will then have the chance to convert them to perhaps becoming loyal readers on your site.
Guest Blogging – Want a backlink from an authority site in your blogs niche? Write a great post and offer it up to the site you’re trying to get a backlink from. It’s a good idea to start by leaving some decent comments first as the site owner will then have an idea of who you are, and will know that you’ve already been contributing in some fashion already. Remember when you leave comments on a blog, your adding content. Who loves content? Google does! So you can be assured that a blog owner will value the added content and will be more open to the idea of having you guest blog for them. It’s a good idea to offer up your best work at times like these! (Hint – if the article you offer up doesn’t work for one site, keeps it and offer it up to the next blog on your list!)
Directories – There are a vast number of web directories out there. I take advantage of two different kinds, SEO friendly free directories, and paid directory listings. When looking at paid directories I’ll usually only consider a few like Yahoo, Best of The Web, or Eaton Web Directory. There are also some great free one’s, dmoz is one not to be missed, though in past years it’s been getting much harder to get included into their directory for one reason or another. Always be sure to choose the most relevant category to submit your site to. Directory owners receive dozens of submissions each and every day, and you don’t want them to click the “delete” button, simply because you’ve listed your site in the wrong category. It’s also a good idea to keep a list of sites you’ve submitted to, as well as another for sites you’ve been accepted into.
Press releases – Sending out a press release can be a great way to announce your website to the world. You will end up with backlinks, exposure, traffic, and possibly more sales if done right. It’s also a great way to announce new products or services you’re launching.
And there you have it; these are just a handful of methods you can start using today to build up your backlinks to your blog or website. There are many other one’s out there as well, but I’ll save those for another day!
Once again, thanks for reading, and have a great day!

My Trick to Dominate The Search Engines
Blog commenting, forum posts, article marketing, social bookmarks and link exchanges – Are you tired of doing all of these yet? If you are anything like everybody else online, then you are building links the hard way.
Yeah, I know that you have to build links in order to get more organic traffic from the search engines (especially Google), but you don’t have to spend hours upon hours doing it every single day.
What am I saying?
There is a better way! If you want to build backlinks faster than ever and have them count for much more than your links are now, then I am going to show you my trick to doing so. Whether you are promoting an affiliate product, building niche websites, establishing your presence for a certain keyword or just increasing your position for an already ranked keyword my trick will help.
Have you ever heard of BlogBlueprint?
BlogBlueprint is a blog network of hundreds of high pagerank websites that you can post your articles on. Not only that but the articles don’t have to be 400 words, they don’t have to be even 250 words, they only need to be 100 words. How many 100 word articles do you think you could write in a day?
Now, I know that writing articles is not everybody’s favorite thing to do, but if you can get a quick backlink out of it then why not do it? What I am saying is that you don’t have to spend hours building backlinks, you can quickly and easily increase your search engine rankings by using BlogBlueprint. Being that I want to give you a leg up on the competition, I am going to give you a few tips that will have your websites ranking for high traffic keywords in no time at all.
Tips To Using BlogBlueprint
Write Articles Daily
– If you want to see any movement in your search engine position, then you have to write a good amount of articles. My advice would be to write at least 1 article every day for each website that you have. I am not saying that you have to write 20 articles per day but you need to write more to see better results.
Tip: One thing you need to make sure you don’t do is create too many links too quickly. If you have a newer site or one that you don’t build links too that often, then you need to limit the number of links that you build so that you are not sandboxed by Google.
Use Different Anchor Text
– Not only should you not build too many links too quickly, you need to diversify your anchor text. This should not be that difficult for you to do, all you need to do is keep track of how many links you built using each keyword. For this I recommend using an Excel spreadsheet because it is fast and easy to use. My advice would be to never link to a website using the same anchor text more than 40% of the time.
Place Links In Content
– One of the things that you have the option of doing is placing your link in the content or after the content. This is entirely up to you but in my opinion you need to place the links in the middle of the 100 word article. The reason I recommend you do things like this is because links in the content itself will not look like spam and the likelihood of somebody clicking on them will be much higher. Just do yourself a favor and place your links in a spot that is clickable to the blog readers.
As you can see, building backlinks using BlogBlueprint is very simple and that is why I continue to use it. If you are tired of spending hours on link building just to see your website stay in the same position, then keep doing what you are doing. If you want to see some changes in your search engine rankings and want to start making more money, then it is about time that you used something that works.
