subject: Successful Backlink Building Methods For More Traffic To Your Website [print this page] Backlinking isn't hard if you just make it into a contest. This may sound strange, but it works like a charm. Just ask a few bloggers or webmasters to comment on your site leaving their anchored backlinks and tell them that you'll choose which one wins. You could offer an ipod, or anything they may find valuable. They will love the offer because they will enjoy linking to your website, as well. Prior to doing that, however, always think about what niche you're in. The plus point of this method is that you get control of the anchor text that goes on the contestants blogs/sites.
On the other hand, you don't want to get too many anchor links pointing back to your site, because you could catch a penalty from the search engines. Nobody wants to be branded a link spammer. That's why you'll want only a couple of bloggers to leave those links, and you can also make them go after a few keyword phrases instead of just one. Another easy method to build targeted backlinks to your site is to use social voting sites such as Delicious and Digg. Sites like these are used by millions of people, and so Google seems to love them and will rank you higher.
Not only that, but the content you find on these sites is usually of great quality and it's entertaining. Google views sites like these as sites that people will look for, and so positions them at the top of the searches. Now they are considered authority sites as far as the search engines are concerned. Your aim here is to leverage these sites without spamming them.
Last but not the least; you can also use press releases to build backlinks. The only thing that you would have to do is to write press releases, distribute them on PRWeb and PRWire and witness the growth of your backlinks.
All in all, you can gain plenty of quality backlinks if you just follow these tips.
