If you are trying to make money online with your own website, you probably know the best free traffic comes from Google. What you might not know is how to get your site to show up in Google’s search results. The best way is building backlinks to your site. Here are 5 ways you can build quality backlinks to your site and move up the search engine results page.

Forums

Forums are a great way to build backlinks. It works like this: you find a forum on a topic related to your site. Once you have looked around, seen it is an active and friendly forum fill out your profile page.

Once you have your profile filled out, go to the signature area. Once there fill in a catchy sentence that includes your main keyword and make that the link to your site.

A signature link in a forum shows up each and every time you post to the forum. It will show up below your post automatically. This is a great way to get traffic. Not only will you be getting great backlinks to get more traffic from Google, but if you provide quality information on the forum people get to know you and like you. You will start getting traffic from the forum itself.

Article Marketing

This is the best way to get a lot of backlinks fast. You simply write a quality article filled with great information. At the bottom of your article you include your “resource box” this is a space you can include a keyword anchor text link to your site.

Then just submit your article to article directories. You will get links from the directories, but other online publishers will come and use your article in their content or newsletter. This gives you even more backlinks, from different places.

Blog Comments

You can find blogs on related topics. Stop by the blog and read the posts. If you have something to add to the conversation leave a comment.

When you leave a comment at a blog you can use the name field of the comment form for your keyword. Then fill in the rest of the information and your comment. This will give you an anchor text link back to your site. Make sure you look around and make sure the blog owner allows this. Some don’t and will consider it spamming. Most marketing blogs will allow you to do this, and many blog owners don’t care.

As you can see there are tons of ways you can create backlinks to your site. The trick is you have to do it. It can be much more fun to spend time creating content, and interacting in social networking communities for traffic, but if you want to get organic search traffic you are going to have to build backlinks. There’s no way around it.

Matthew Corgan asked:


Can google read backlinks and give credit for backlinks for example.

ex. Saying “Click Here” but leading to a site like “www.vacation.com”.

Does google give full page rank credit for a html code like that. Thanks.

anon in idaho asked:


How do they affect your page? Do they help it go up in the page ranking? Just how do they work?

happy asked:


I posted a week ago about how my and my competitors’ google backlinks had been disappearing. I’m pleased to report that today the number of google backlinks has gone up considerably for me and the other sites I keep an eye on.

My site is still in the number 1 spot for its key words so I don’t know what the effect of this latest update is. Has anyone else noticed any changes from google today?
Oh and about another 100 pages have been listed, I’ve just noticed.

Ted Hebert asked:


The best way to boost traffic to your site, even better than pay-per-click, is backlinks. Backlinks are links to your site from other web sites all over the internet.

How do you build thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of backlinks? You do it by writing articles, and distributing them to web sites related to your industry.

Backlinks are the Fuel that Drives Traffic

Backlinks drive traffic to your site in two ways. First, you’ll always have a link back to your site in the resource box of your articles. A reader interested in visiting your site can click this link to go right to your site, or any page within your site you want to drive them to.

Second, one of the major factors Google looks at when ranking pages is the relevancy of the site. If you have thousands of links to your site Google will deem your site highly relevant. That will rank your site higher, and mean more people will find your site when searching your keywords.

Backlinks are FREE

The beauty of backlinks is that they don’t cost you a thing. How much would pay-per-click cost you for highly relevant keywords? They’d cost you a fortune.

To build thousands of backlinks all you have to do is write articles, and distribute them to web sites related to your industry.

Backlinks are Organic

Companies pay millions of dollars for pay-per-click advertising that show their ads at the top of search pages for their keywords. At first, this was brilliant because the average web surfer thought that top ad was really just the most relevant return on their search.

These days the secret is pretty much out. Most people now know those top results are really ads. Most people now look directly to the true, or organic search results.

Backlinks build your relevancy, which in turn raises your page rank. The higher your site ranks, the higher your site appears in actual search results. A top 10 ranking, or PR10, puts your site on the first results page. You’re easy to find.

Backlinks from articles are the right kind of backlinks.

You could build lots of backlinks by doing a link exchange, but that’s a bad idea. A link exchange is you putting a link to another site on your site in exchange for the other site linking back to you. That’s no good because you want thousands of link coming in to your site. If your outgoing links equal or exceed the number of links coming in your relevancy is lost.

Link exchange sites are often not considered credible, and Google and other search engines do not consider them as relevant as an industry web site or blog. Link exchanges will do far more damage to your backlink program than good.

So, you can see just how powerful backlinks really are. Don’t be fooled by pay-per-click, SEO, etc. If you want qualified sales leads, write articles, distribute them, and build as many backlinks as possible.

Your buyers will come to you in droves.

dragon L asked:


I want some backlinks for my site so I want to know how can I find sites that have link pages ( sites which have link exchange) One way is to manually search link directories for a category and find which sites have link pages by finding “links’ button in the footer but this is so time consuming
So is there an easier way to find which sites have link pages ?

I am trying to build my site www.agalleryofnations.com and need backlinks to help boost my pagerank from Google.

Marc Marseille asked:


 

Climbing to the top of the search engines is the goal of every home base business owner that own a website. A well optimize website alone may help you achieve those goals if you are a niche market with little competition. On the other hand if your niche market is one shared by many marketers, you will have to prove to the search engines that you site has more relevance. The way to differentiate your business from the many on the internet is by creating high quality backlinks.

 

Many website owners are deterred from generating high quality backlinks to their website either from lack of time or lack of money. The truth is that creating thousands of backlinks does not have to be time consuming or costly. In fact there many ways to generate high Pr backlinks to you website for free. Using the methods I am about to share with you will be able to generate a PR 3 ranking in 90 days or less.

 

The first thing you must do to create free backlinks is to join five forums related to your niche. Once you have joined five forums, make sure you make a least 10 post per day to each forum. Forums usually have a high pr ranking and they are indexed by the search engines. Furthermore, every one of your post will equal to a high quality backlinks as long as you make sure you include you website’s url in you forum signature.

 

The next step you will need to take is to submit your website to as many directories you can that are relevant to your websites content. You can either submit your websites manually or you can use a submission service to speed up the process. In addition to the backlinks, you will also generate a great deal of traffic.

 

The third step will be to write three articles per week and submit your articles to fifty article directories every week. This method is one of the most effective, because once you submit your articles, chances are they will get picked up by other article directories creating even more backlinks to your website.

 

The fourth method is to post to one hundred social sites at least three times a week. There are hundreds of social networking websites like Digg, Sphinn, Stumble Upon and Mixx. These social web 2.0 sites have a high Google ranking and also can create a heap of traffic. I suggest posting to one hundred social networking and social bookmarking sites daily. To make the submission faster you should use a social bookmarking software to post to multiple sites at one time.

 

The final step is to submit your RSS feed to one hundred RSS directories. If you do not have an RSS feed for your website, you should look into creating one. RSS feeds are important in generating backlinks and traffic to your website. In the meantime you can substitute for not having an RSS feed by posting comments to ten do follow blogs daily.

 

The steps provided will take you approximate 3 hours per day to complete, while establishing a PR 3 website will bring you tons of traffic from the search engines. You may also receive offers from advertisers to display their ads on your PR 3 website thus increasing your income dramatically.

Marc Marseille asked:

 

The importance of generating backlinks to increase Page rank can not be emphasized any more, it is absolutely mandatory. Once you start your backlink building campaign, you will find that it can be a difficult task if you don’t know which direction to take.

The traditional way to acquire backlinks is to search the internet for websites with a high PR that share the same or similar interest with your own and ask them for a reciprocal link. A reciprocal link is an link exchange between two website owners where each party agree to place each others links on their websites. The problem that occurs when searching for reciprocal links is, if you are just starting out, then your page rank will probably be zero. Most sites that are already established do not gain any incentive to exchange links with you.

The other alternatives to finding established sites to link is to get a little creative in order to build some backlinks. We all know that Web 2.0 social networking sites have bombarded the internet, but what most people do not realize is that they are a great source of high Pr backlinks. You can set up an account with several networks, submit a blog with a link to your website and voila!; you have created a quality backlink to your website.

Another source for acquiring backlinks that usually goes unnoticed are RSS feeds. You can use RSS feed for a variety of reasons. One reason is to receive great exposure for your website or blog. Once you submit your website to an RSS Feed Directory your feed can be subscribe to by numerous readers, thus creating great exposure for your website. RSS feeds are also a great backlinks tool, you can not only generate backlinks every time your RSS feed is subscribe to, but you will also get free backlinks from each RSS feed directory you use to submit your website.

For best results submit to about 15 directories at a time to spread the amount of traffic you will receive. Spreading your traffic will also help with you Google ranking. The search engines rank websites with consistent traffic higher. You also do not want to generate too many backlinks too fast, as to not raise any eyebrows with Google.

You can also purchase links directly from bloggers or other webmasters. This way is more difficult for the search engines to pick up on, as far as the buying part of. Search engines are not found of buying backlinks but they can increase your rankings.

This method is also the cheapest. Once again look for quality and contect as well as anchor text.

How to exchange links?

Frequently Asked Questions » General

Link Market’s link exchange is accomplished by a very simple and extremely effective 1-2-3 link exchange step process. Link Market users sign in to their account and browse the link directory. Once appropriate links have been found, the user places them in the link cart. Once ready to send the link exchange request, the user goes to the link cart and sends the link request. At that time, the link request gets sent out. This is where Link Market’s 1-2-3 link exchange step process starts.

Terms:

Webmaster (RQ) is a Link Market member that is requesting a link exchange.

Webmaster (RC) is a Link Market member that is receiving a link exchange request.

Step

Webmaster (RC) receives a link request via e-mail and is instructed to log in to the Link Market account to respond to the link exchange request. Once logged in, the Webmaster goes to My Account and clicks on Current Jobs.

In Current Jobs, the Webmaster will see all of the jobs needed for a link exchange to take place. The Webmaster would then select one link and click on the respond link. This will then open a new Web page where the user may examine the link and either agree to link exchange or not.

If the user doesn’t agree to the link request, then this link exchange gets stopped and placed in the link request history. If the user does agree to the link exchange, then this link exchange request gets forwarded from the Webmaster’s current jobs and gets placed into Webmaster (RQ)’s Current Jobs.

Step

Webmaster (RQ) is required to place Webmaster (RC)’s link on his or her link page. Once RQ does, RQ submits his or her URL address to the link page where he or she has placed Webmaster (RC)’s link. At this moment, Link Market opens Webmaster (RQ)’s link page and looks for Webmaster (RC)’s link. If the link exists on the page, then step 2 is finished and this job gets moved from Webmaster (RQ)’s to Webmaster (RC)’s Current Jobs. Otherwise, this job gets marked as pending in step 2 until Webmaster (RQ) submits the valid link page.

Step

Webmaster (RC) is required to place a link to Webmaster (RQ)’s Web site. Once that’s done, Webmaster RC submits the URL address to the link page where he or she has placed Webmaster (RQ)’s link. Link Market opens Webmaster (RQ)’s link page and looks for Webmaster (RC)’s link. If the link exists, then step 3 is finished and this link exchange gets marked as successful. Otherwise, this job will be marked in step 3 as pending until Webmaster (RQ) submits a valid link page.

If you have any questions regarding Link Exchange, please contact us via our online contact us form. We will gladly answer any questions you may have.

Marc Marseille asked:


Getting a high traffic website is directly tied into how easily accessible you are in the search engines. The search engines if managed correctly can turn your lackluster internet business into an overnight success. The problem that occurs when trying to get high rankings with the search engines is the competition that you will encounter for the same keywords. There are ways that you can top your competition even if several competitors are using the same keywords. The easiest and most effective way to conquer your competitors is to get more backlinks. If you are trying to find a way to increase your page rank, you will have to get thousands of backlinks. Today I will share with you some ways to generate thousands of backlinks to increase your page ranking.

 

The most common method of getting more backlinks to your website or blog is to research other similar websites that have high page ranks and solicit them for a reciprocal link. A reciprocal link is when you agree to add another marketer’s link on your website in return they will advertise your link. This method can be time consuming and very difficult because someone with a high page rank is usually not interested in a link exchange, especially from a lesser page rank website. If you still want to pursue this method you should send the website owner an email stating your interest in a reciprocal link and patiently wait for a response.

 

Forums are great sources to get thousands of backlinks. Forums are indexed by the search engines on a regular basis, so when you make a post to your favorite forum, it gets picked by the search engines. Make sure that when you sign up for a forum to leave your website or you business opportunities in your forum signature. The advantages of a creating a forum signature is, when someone clicks on a forum topic that was indexed by the search engines, they will have a direct link to your website from your forum signature. The more post you make to different topics, the more backlinks you will create to your website.

 

Writing articles on topics relating to your website and submitting your articles to article directories will also help to get more backlinks. The key to article writing is to write to write in a way that your audience understands; it doesn’t have to be very technical. Most newbie marketers get intimidated by this method, but it is actually one of the simplest and best producing methods you can use to get thousands of backlinks. The most popular article directories are Goarticles and Ezine articles. Before you submit your article, read their instructions carefully, they do have some guidelines that are mandatory.

 

Web 2.0 is the new wave that is taking the internet into the next generation of Advertising. The main ingredient of the Web 2.0 concept is social networking websites. Social networking sites are quickly becoming the most popular and effective way to get thousands of backlinks to your website. Basically Web 2.0 sites like Digg, Reddit, and Sphinn provide high pr backlinks to your website. Social networking sites are very Google friendly and you do not have to write a 500 word article to create a backlink. There are literally thousands of social networking and bookmarking sites popping up everyday. Internet marketers are taking advantage of the social marketing phenomenon by generating thousands of backlinks to their perspective sites. Currently there are bookmarking softwares that allow you post to hundreds social networking websites with just one click.

 

The next time you are thinking of bringing more visitors to your website or increasing your page rankings remember these methods. The internet changes everyday but core is always a constant, getting thousands of relevant backlinks to your website will you’re your website relevance with the search engines..
