Another powerful way to get backlinks is guest blogging.

In addition to building back-links to your site/page, it is an effective way to drive massive traffic to your website. So, if you are not using guest blogging as a link builder and instant traffic machine, I highly recommend that you start using it.

It is also advisable that you guest post in high traffic and preferably   authority sites in your niche.

Now, the obvious question that comes to your mind is hot to get these high traffic sites who accept guest blogging.

It is very simple …

Just use any of the following search queries in Google…

“Keyword Phrase” + “become a contributor” OR “contribute to this site”

“Keyword Phrase” + “guest article”

“Keyword Phrase” + “guest blog”

“Keyword Phrase” + “guest blogger”

“Keyword Phrase” + “Guest bloggers”  Let me show you with an example …

Let’s say that your website is about “investment”, then in order to find investment sites that accept guest blogging, enter the

following search query into Google search box

“Investment” + “guest blogger”

Once you hit the search button, you are going to get

Once you get the list of sites, scan each site to get the potential

sites that accept guest blogging.

Then browse the potentials sites to find out the guidelines on how to submit your guest post.

3. Directories  

Another way to build back-links to your site is to submit your site to web directories that aggregate links.

I would also like to point out that you focus on authority sites like DMOZ or web directories related to your niche.

Here are the search queries that you need to use to find web directories in your niche …

“Keyword Phrase” + “add a site”/”submit site”/”suggest site”

“Keyword Phrase” + “add URL”/”submit URL”/”suggest URL”

“Keyword Phrase” + “add listing”/”submit listing”/”suggest listing”

“Keyword Phrase” +”add your business”/”list your business”

“Keyword Phrase” + intitle:”directory”

“Keyword Phrase”+ inurl:”directory”

Let me illustrate with an example …

Let’s say that you have a site about “Skin care”, then to find potential sites for link building, enter the following search query into Google search box

“Skin care” + “add URL”/”submit URL”/”suggest URL”

Hit search and you are going get a list of sites to submit your link. Browse each potential site to find out on how to submit your link.

4. Blog Commenting

The other powerful way to drive instant traffic and links to your website is by commenting on other blogs.

Commenting is mainly aimed for 3 main purposes:

• Drive instant traffic to your blog
• Build a link
• To establish a relationship with other blog owners.

The aggregate effect of commenting on other Blogs is paramount. Therefore, you need to find high traffic, preferably authority Blogs

which are related to your niche and  leave valuable and relevant comment.

As I have pointed out again and again, make sure to focus on blogs related to your niche and preferably high authority blogs.

The beauty of Blog commenting is …it is very simple.

Let me show the search query used to find blogs that allow commenting

“Keyword Phrase” + “add comment”  “Keyword Phrase” + “post comment”

“Keyword Phrase” + “leave comment”

Let me show you with an example …

Let’s say that you want to find blogs related to “weight loss”, then all you have

to do is to enter the following search query into Google search box

“Weight loss” + “add comment”

Once you hit search, you are going to get a list of blogs that allow blog commenting.

So, go and leave your comment …

5. Niche Forums 

Forums are great way to build back-links to your website. So, in this section, I

will show you simple ways to find forums that can help you build links to your

site.

But, I want to make very clear that …

You need to build links from forums in your niche. Don’t also forget about the

quality of the links we have discussed before.  Here are the search queries that

you need to use:

“Keyword Phrase” forum

“Keyword Phrase” discussion boards

“Keyword Phrase” “sign up OR register OR join”

“Keyword Phrase” “Powered by phpBB” OR “powered by vBulletin”

6. edu or .org Back-links ( Highly Recommended ) 

If you have been online for some time, most probably, you already aware that EDU back-links are very powerful way to boost your search engine ranking.

So, if you want to boost the search engine ranking of your site, make sure to build links form edu sites.

Let me show you how to easily find EDU back-links which are used by your competitors.

Please follow me …

For instance, if you want to find blogs for .edu back-links purposes, you can use

the following search query.

Site:.eduinurl:blog “post a comment”

And, if you want to get .org back-links, you can follow almost the same

procedures used to find .edu back-links.

Simply, Change .edu with .org

7. Re-Purposing Your Content 

The easiest way to get back-links quickly is to convert or re-purpose your

website content into another format.

Some of the ways are:

1. Collect some of your website articles, compile and change them into PDF format. Then post to Scribd and Docstoc.
2. Change your articles into power point presentations and submit them to        slide share document sharing sites.
3. Change your articles into an audio series and submit it to or iTunes  (podcasts).

How to Generate Backlinks Without Dabbling in the Dark Arts

This is guest post by Lisa-Anne Redwood on how to generate backlinks without using blackhat method

There’s been a lot of buzz lately regarding Google’s rankings and the SEO changes that ‘big G’ has been putting in place. Many private backlink networks have now be almost entirely de-indexed by Google. That means that countless websites that were enjoying the heady heights of search rankings are now almost completely invisible to search users. These developments have understandably unnerved legitimate website owners, many of whom may not have kept track of how their backlinks were generated.

But in fact, these changes may actually be a positive thing for these webmasters. Google tends to target those people who use blackhat SEO techniques (read: spammers), but there are still plenty of ways you can generate backlinks whilst keeping your hat very much white in colour. Let’s take a look at a few ways you can create some legitimate backlinks to your blog or website, even since Google’s hammer has come down.

Guest posting on other blogs It’s an old method, but still arguably the best. Guest blogging on relevant websites and blogs is a fantastic way to get your link out there on the web in a very organic and whitehat way. Whilst the more unscrupulous SEO practitioners may focus their attention on the spamming the comments section of blogs, you can rise above all this by actually being the one writing the articles. All you have to do is contact the owners of blogs or sites like yours and offer to write an article for them – just be sure that it’s good enough and genuinely offers the reader something of value (and of course make sure your link is in context).

Video backlinks You may have noticed that Google very often gives precedence to videos in the search results. What this means for bloggers and site owners is that, provided they can come up with compelling content for a video, they can enjoy a new way to create backlinks. When you upload a video to one of the many video streaming sites, you’re often invited to insert a URL either in the video details or description. Very often these links are FOLLOW, which means they’re a legitimate backlink. If your niche allows it, making a video (instructional or informational) can be a great way boost the links back to your site – and if others like it, you may get even more.

Contributing to online communitiesForum posting is another area where blackhatters focus their attention, so you do need to be careful here. One effective method is to spend some time getting to know a community, contributing to the conversation, and then slowly introducing links back to your site. When this is done in a natural way, it can be a fantastic way to create quality backlinks. Just be sure that you are really contributing – and that you’re an authority on the topic – and your blog or site will really benefit.

Getting involved with social mediaOne of the most valuable ways to reach an audience right now is via social media. That means Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and so on. While the links you’ll get from these sites are NOFOLLOW, posting your content there can help in a number of ways. First, if your social media profiles become reconginised as an authority on your niche, you can use them to share links which others will then link to. When other people choose to link to your content from their site, you’re getting the very best possible backlink – and the ones that truly fit the definition of ‘legitimate’. Social bookmarking sites like Reddit and Digg can also be helpful in this regard, but be careful not to ‘spam’ them because the users on those sites are very particular about what they like and what gets promoted to their respective ‘front pages’.

With Google getting smarter all the time, blog owners and webmasters too have to adapt in terms of their promotion strategy. If you’re still using black or greyhat techniques, it may be time to focus more on whitehat methods that generate quality backlinks – otherwise you’re risking being removed from Google’s index altogether, and for many sites that’s nothing more than a death sentence.

3 Easy Ways to Build Backlinks

How to build backlinks? Back links are important for any site and it requires a lot of time to build quality links. Ask any pro-blogger the amount of effort that goes into building links in the initial days, and you’ll know what it takes.

There are tons of articles on the internet talking about the importance of quality backlinks. So, I’m going to assume you know the basics.

To start off, there are basically two methods of building links: The traditional way and the non-traditional way. My strategy falls somewhere in between. There are few tricks that have worked from me – and I am sure they would work for you as well.

The Tried and Tested “Lists”

I believe human psychology is tuned to click list based posts. There is something about these articles that makes users to click, share and link to them. These articles are a great way to build traffic, get noticed by other blogs and go viral on social media sites – and if you have a number (like “Top 10…”) in the headline, then your job is half done.

Personally, I do not like list based articles because there is too much of generic content and very little in-depth analysis. But having them once in a while on your blog won’t harm your reputation that much.

But do not overdo it.

List articles stuff too much information to be gulped down in a single read. That is why users save it, share it and above all link to it. One thing that separates a great List based article from a mediocre one is the amount of original content it has. I have seen text directly copied from the resource sites/ pages.

Rather, write your own thoughts and opinions about the product so that the users have a reason to believe what you have to say.

Spark Controversy

Last week I wrote two posts slamming Google+ and its ineffective management. The articles generated quite a lot of interest from people and ended up being linked by other blogs.

So why did I succeed in generating backlinks?

Simple, I challenged the status quo. There was a lot of buzz on the internet about the rise of Google+ and how it had reached 50 million users already.

I could have gone ahead and rehashed the same stuff, but I took a detour and wrote the opposite of what people believed. Well, I did get slammed by ardent Google+ fans, but then, they stood up and took notice of me.

That is how things work in real world and trust me, that is how things work online too.

Write about startups and companies

This strategy was discovered accidently. On my blog, I write a lot about companies and startups and after writing for about couple of months, I noticed that these very companies were linking back to me — and these were no small ones.

Companies like Hootsuite generously linked to my articles that explained about their product. A quick glance at their PageRank will reveal you that they have a healthy PageRank 6! I now have about a dozen top-notched companies linking to my blog and the effect of this strategy: Page Rank jumped from PR0 to a more respectable PR3.

While some might argue PageRank is no longer relevant, but believe me, it feels great to be linked by a reputable source.

These tips are just an addition to the traditional ways of building backlinks. It has been said over and over again that no matter what, quality of articles separates one blog from another. The three tips that I spoke about won’t work for you if you write poorly.

Spend some time, take breaks and write an awesome article that compels users to link to you. Hopefully you’ll find these tips useful. Do comment and let me know if you find these strategies worth trying.
