subject: The Top Secret Backlink Methods You Need to Learn [print this page] For newbie marketers, link building can be a very confusing process. However, it doesn't have to be that way when you have so many different options to acquire backlinks. Below are a few tips for getting quality backlinks to your website.
Utlizing link exchanges has long been a favorite method for getting backlinks to a website. It has been utilized for a very long time. However, the search engines are now a lot smarter about ranking websites and put more weight on one way backlinks. But on the other hand, don't think that reciprocal linking is dead and gone. Just learn how to do it on "the down low" and don't visit bad sites. There are websites that were created for the sole purpose of creating links, but don't bother using them. Instead, exchange reciprocal links with sites that are in the same niche as yours. For instance, you may have a Martial Arts website that talks about judo training. You should look for other blogs that also discuss judo training and try to form reciprocal links. When you do this, the search engines will have to go along with it because it is above board and relevant to your website.
One other link building technique that's extremely easy is just emailing website owners and bloggers to ask them if they would put your links on their websites. For instance, let's say your site offers a search engine optimization service. You could find other bloggers in your niche to see if they'd give you an honest review of your site's products or services. You might tell them you'll give them a percentage of whatever you make. If you happen to have an affiliate program, they are already getting to share some of the money you make, so it'll be simple to get them to go along with it. This is a great way to get all those backlinks you need, but you must be careful and handle it delicately.
Last but not the least; the most obvious tip that you can get about link building is to create high quality content that others would want to link to.
All the successful websites that have lots of sites linking to them had one thing in common, and that's that they always provide content that people want to link to. If you're still unclear of what this means, go to Digg.com and see what people are digging the most. That content is there because people liked reading it. If you can create content that people will flock to read, then backlinking will be simple.
All in all, you can gain plenty of quality backlinks if you just follow these tips.
