Easy ways to get Backlinks

By


Getting back-links for your blog or forum is not so easy. You won't get as detailed advice on blog or forum especially when it is related to SEO and back links. SEO/Back link expertise is one of the most selling businesses online so getting detailed information for free is very unlikely. What you will always get is just the general information and you can gather this information on most SEO websites and use it in your favor.

There are many ways with which you can get backlink for yourself. Some of the proven ways of backlink building are:

RSS Submission to RSS Directories
Submit your blog or forum feed to RSS directory. You can even use services like pingoat, pingomatic or pingmyblog services. If you have static site (with no feed support) then you may not able to submit your site to RSS directory, you have to create feed for your static site using some of the tools available.

Build multiple blogs
If you can afford to build quality content on multiple blogs then you can create new blog by registering new domain name and making a link for yourself. Avoid duplicate content, content scraping on sub-domains and blogs which are linking to your site.


Upload to Document Sharing Sites
Create PDF reports and documents and have link to your site inside the document. This is one good method to get traffic as well as some backlinks.

Create Groups on Yahoo, Video Sharing Sites, Web 2.0 Properties
If you can spend some times on video sharing social network then you can share some videos on network and link to your site. You can show the URL at the start of the video and can put the URL in uploader box.

Yahoo groups are also one good way to get some traffic as well as backlink. Note that yahoo groups have lot of spam traffic so be sure where to post your URL.

Comments on Bookmarks
You can comment on bookmarks made on delicious, digg, mixx and similar other sites. That way you can get trickle of traffic & Backlinks to your site from profile box.

Creating Profiles at Web 2.0 Sites
Many Social networks have high PR and offer do-follow links in profile box. If you can sign up and be active on those social networks then you can get some High PR backlinks to yourself.

For example,
- gizmodo.com
- io9.com
- kotaku.com

Posting Comments on friends profiles
If social network offers signatures then you can comment on other person’s profile and show link on those profiles as well. Not all sites allow commenting on profiles of others but you can find such network and can benefit from this feature.

Posting Articles on Article Directories
This is most popular method to get quality backlink (without spamming you can say). But you need to be skilled so that your article will get accepted into article directory. Once accepted you have one quality backlink for your site.

Doing Social Bookmarking
People don’t recommend bookmarking your own blog stories or news. But if your blog post is worthy of attention then you can create story on social bookmarking sites and this way you can even generate traffic for yourself. Remember, don’t post too much of stories of your site cause that way you’ll be caught by community as spammer. 

Squidoo lenses
You can create a lot of back-links to your own site if you can write good lenses for niche which is related to your site.

Forums
You can sign up to forums which are related to the niche of your blog/forum and create a backlink for yourself. I have already covered forum backlink in this hub, so check that out.

Social bookmarking can bring you decent traffic, but the issue is that most of the social bookmarking links are nofollow. So that value for the link is diminished here..we need to search for social bookmarking sites that allows the flow of link juice..

Anyway a great compilation..thanks for sharing it..

Thank you for the tips, skyfire! I like your suggestion / tip recommending to include a link to the content we're promoting within PDF content that we upload to document sharing sites.

Thank you again for the helpful Hub!
