How To Start Building Backlinks For Your Blog

There's no doubt that possibly the best way to get traffic to your blog is through backlinks

. Getting other sites to link back to your blog is one of the main things that people like Google look for in terms of ranking. But what if you don't have that many readers and your blog is relatively new, how do you start?

One place to start your blog training is simply to start talking to other bloggers in your niche. Sounds simple! But pick bloggers who are in a similar position to you in terms of their size and readership. Establish a relationship with the blog owner and its visitors. In time you'll discover new blog owners and visitors. Take a look at those and start building new relationships with similar blogs.

Soon you'll have a circle of like minded blog owners who are willing to insert links to and from all the 'circle'. This 'compounding' effect can be extremely powerful when it comes to building links and should be essential in your overall blog education. Make sure that you contribute and offer good advice, opinion and service when contributing to other peoples blogs. If you consistently offer quality contributions then it will not take long for others start to contribute to your blog and, eventually, build links to your blog.

Another way to start building links is to ask! Wild as this may seem it's amazing how many people don't simply ask. Make sure you are in exactly the same niche and that you have consistent readers and a number of posts and pages established. Any respectable blog owner who is considering a backlink will check out your blog so make sure your blog is active and has a fair amount of content.

Also, try to offer something in return for a backlink. This could be a banner advertisement on your front page or even a one-way adswap. This can be very persuasive for a blog owner. You offer the blog owner (preferably with at least a page rank of 3) a mail-out to your list for one of their products using their own ad copy. If the product and ad text is acceptable for you and your readers then you ask your new partner to insert a backlink to your blog in their blog.

Finally, I know this sounds tedious for your blog training but is a definite way to build the important backlinks is to write articles. Make this part of your routine and join reputable article directory submission services such as 'Article Marketer'. How does this build backlinks? Well, as your article submissions grow, more and more people will click on your Resource Box links and provide you with natural backlinks if they like your article. Simple but effective. The beauty of this tactic is that once you have submitted your article and it is accepted for publication it will work for you forevermore.

Your blog training and education will undoubtedly build over time and you will improve your page rank and 'searchability' as your backlinks grow. Do not give up on your blog training - you will be rewarded over time.
