How do I build backlinks?
Good answer:
The best way to get backlinks, especially quality backlinks, is to have high quality content on your website. These naturally attract links as webmasters prefer to link to good content and not frivolous content.
Not so good answer:
Place your link in forum signaturesSubmit to directoriesExchange linksComment on blogsSubmit articles to article directories with your links in them
These links will be low quality and not do you as much good as links from established websites that rank well for the keywords you wish to rank well for. But if you want to build up quantity of links then these will help to do it.
(Make sure any links you get are not "nofollow" or else they will essentially worthless from a SEO point of view. And don't spam other websites. Nobody likes a spammer).
There are hundreds of ways to build back links. To get your site started you should really do this:
- Register you site on DMOZ.
- Setup a Google Webmaster Account and add your website. This tells Google you exist.
- Make your content as good as possible. This will make you move up in SERP. Google really cares about quality.
- Setup a Twitter account, Facebook account, etc and post links to specific pages to get link backs. This can help your Page Rank and help where you show up in SERP but 1 and 2 will help you with Google.
We have two good answers here.
But there is one obvious one that it is not, may be to be so obvious: ask other sites to link back.
Check over the web what are good related sites to yours, make a list of interesting ones, send an email to administrators/moderators asking to include an article or just a link about/for your site.
If you have quality content, they probably will link back. Keep a tracking of this link building. For who you asked, when you asked, when they replyed, do they have any questions...? Follow up with that.
It is simple, quick, and worth much more than people usually imagine. You need just a browser, a spreadsheet, an email, and a dose of good writing, being polite.
