Backlinks are golden within the Search engine marketing world. A high-quality link from a quality source can put a web page on the map in a matter of hours. Bloggers and webmasters alike spend a large amount of of their free time hunting down quality links. Trading them like valuable hockey cards to a child. They can be bought, rented, borrowed, or traded online similar to an economy all on its own. Without links, the online world would not be what it is today. As someone dedicated to Search engine optimization, you will spend tireless hours focusing on your building of one way links.

In this short article we’ll be explaining not the worth of a link, but instead how to cultivate a wide selection of one-way links directed to your web page. We're under the assumption that you know that they’re valuable, and that you understand to link to an optimized web page and to use anchor text when creating the back link. This small guide will focus purely on the actual techniques, tips, and points on how to grow that collection of hyperlinks to assist in your SEO efforts.

Our first recommendation when it comes to link building is to perform article marketing. We recently wrote and published an article on Tips to Using Articles for Link Building. We believe this is one of the most effective tools in your arsenal and we highly suggest embracing it into your Search engine optimization efforts to build backlinks.

Comments have become a really gratifying form of generating one-way links. Search Google for the term DoFollow blogs. Whenever you’ve acquired a sufficient list, start visiting the blogs and leaving good quality comments. Many blogs that allow dofollow, also allow you to use keywords rather than an actual name. This is a fantastic way to build back links as it permits you to both share your experience by submitting a quality comment, but also by generating one backlink.

Get in touch with a blog or website owner within your specific niche market and offer to write a blog post or how to for them. In return, request a linkback within the article. Again, this simple, yet time intensive method will share your experience, and gain a link. The best part of this system is that they might decide to advertise the article making the backlink within it even more powerful. That is, of course presuming the article is of marketable quality.

Community forums have been around for a long, long time. Odds are you’ve already got a few accounts. Why not add a link within your sig? If you’re an active forum member the back link could possibly generate a few clicks too. At worse, it’s another link to your website.

Generating one way links is not very difficult. Avoid link farms, stay away from 1,000 + Link Directory submission offers, and paid link directories (unless you’re getting a link on a quality, indexed, niche, low OBL page)
