Backlinks Equal Free Traffic - page 2

by vincent murphy, 8/17/2007

There are a lot of diverse ways to get backlinks to your website, including:

Articles - submit articles to the article directory and the resource box will accommodate a link to your website - a free backlink!
Directory entries - every niche will have at least several hundred directories of websites that are pertinent to that niche. Get yourself listed in all of these, and you have a ton of free backlinks!
Three way link exchange - unlike conventional reciprocal link exchanges where two sites point to each other, this is a somewhat more cunning way, which is meant to trick the search engines. It does mean one of the link partners needs two websites though. Website A links to Website B which links to Website C. Person A owns Websites A and C and Person B owns Website B. To the search engines, these appear as one way links (at the moment! There is gossip of the search engines catching on to this).
Forums - posting in forums is yet another mode of getting your link seen. If you engage in the forum discussion then usually you can have a link to your website in your signature file. Remember though that you must add value and not just blatantly promote your website or post to get your signature file shown as this will result in ill feeling towards you and eventual blacklisting or exclusion.
Blogs - putting comments on blogs is another way to get backlinks. However, be aware that if you are not adding value with your comment it may well be considered spam and then deleted and blacklisted. So don't just post "great blog", writing something that is useful and becoming.

Backlinks are surprisingly easy for you to obtain with a small amount of work. If you don't want to do the work yourself then you can very easily hire someone who will do it on your behalf, though make sure they will be ethical about it!

With backlinks you can increase your search engine rankings and get yourself free traffic, which means free money when they buy your product!
