Backlink your Blog Or Website

Tweet

Backlinks. Backlinks are the building blocks to good search engine optimization. They are links that direct back to your website or blog, also known as IBL's or Inbound links.



The number of backlinks indicates how important or popular a website or blog is. Some search engines, like Google will give more credit to websites with a good number of backlinks. Therefore; it is important, to include them in your site.

When search engines calculate the relevance of a site in relation to its keyword, they consider the number of inbound links to that site. Quality matters.

To determine quality, search engines determine the content of the site to determine the quality of a link. When inbound links to your site come from other sites, the search engines look at the content of those sites, and if they have related content, they those links are determined to be more relevant.

An example would be if a site about antiques, received a backlink from another site about kittens, it would be consider more relevant, then a site from another site about art.

Therefore; the more your backlinks from other sites relate, the better the quality of the backlink will be.

Search engines look for links built up on a site over time. Is easy to manipulate links on a site to achieve a higher ranging, but it is allot more difficult to influence a search engine with backlinks from a another site. In the past allot of webmasters tried achieving inbound links, via hidden links, or back pages, to provide inbound links to other sites (called link farms).

Stay away from link farms. Search engines may ban your site, if you link to a link farm. These sites are disregarded now by search engines due to the abuse.

Backlinks are an effective way of generating traffic, and getting your site known. Think of backlinks as a trail of bread crumbs. People visit a site, and end up at yours.

Another type of linking that is effective at generating traffic is called reciprocal, linking. According to a Google update, it was the target of the search engine filter.

Reciprocal linking is when you exchange your link with another website. The search engine filter will be checking to see if your link is relevant. Any links that are not relevant, will be disregarded.

When providing reciprocal links, or linking to another site, make sure that the site content is relevant to your content. Your link can be discounted just for linking to a bad site.

To build your back links, there are several tools that you can use. For example, Backlink Builder Tool . Another tool is called, Backlink Anchor Text Analysis Tool .

When promoting your blog or website, backlinks cannot be overlooked. They are an excellent tool to get your website or blog known.

21 Useful Tips to Promoting your Blog or Website

• Search Engine Optimization
This is the most important method of generating traffic. It can generate thousands of people to your website, each month, if you do it correctly, and achieve a high ranging. If you achieve a high ranking, you can forget about all the other methods.

• Use Autoresponder
Many people leave without coming back. A good way to attract them back to your site or blog is to have an autoresponder.
• Exchange Links
Exchange links is a good way to receive free traffic, but don't do it excessively. Search engines may penalize of ban your website or blog. You can exchange links with 10 or 20 websites that are related to your website, or blog theme and subject. This is an excellent way to increase traffic; however, you need to be careful, and obey the rules. Forums operators run scripts to flag people that post links, and will remove your posts if it does not comply to their rules.
• Write Articles and submit them to Directories
This is another good way of generating traffic to your website or blog.
• Submit your website or blog to Web Directories
Web Directories specialize in linking to other websites, and categorizing those links. People looking for something specific will zero in on those directories, to find what their looking for.
• Create a group at Yahoo, or MSN
Groups are one of the largest online discussion boards. They are like a hybrid between email and forums. People can choose to receive messages by email, or read them on the groups website.
• Participate in Yahoo Answers
If you participate, and leave a link to your blog or website, people will follow up by a visit.
• Submit your blog or website to Social Networks and Bookmarking Sites
This is one of the best ways to generate traffic. Just be sensitive to spamming people. It is suggested that you don't post to more than 6 sites at a time.
• Become an Active Member in bookmarking sites
It will increase your visibility, and get you known in the bookmarking community.
• Join Traffic Generating Sites
Join traffic generating sites like, Traffic Swarm. Its an automated way to promote your website or blog to thousands of search engines, directories, link pages, online malls, and classified sites.
• Comment on Webblogs
Comment on other peoples webblogs on a regular basis. This will get you known in the community and encourage, other viewers, and bloggers to visit your website or blog page.
• Publish Fliers in your Area
This is not expensive, and you can use your own printer to do this. It is something you can do every weekend. Depending on your time, you can distribute between 300 to 500 fliers. If you want, you can even pay an advertising company to do it for you. This will generate a few hundred to thousands of people a month. Only those people that are really interested in your product, or website will visit.
• Wrap up your Car (If you own one.)
This really works. Some people sell space on their car to advertise products, and services. Its actually kinda neat.
• Word of Mouth
Let your friends, neighbours, and relatives, know about your website and its activities.
• Write the URL of your website on your Garage Door, or Even the Side of your House
People will notice this, and check out your website. It could generate a few hundred people monthly.
• Write Articles for Newspapers and Magazines for Free
Personally, I don't agree with this. Newspapers and magazines pay hundreds of dollars for well written, and researched articles. I understand why the video creator added this point; though, newspapers and magazines have large subscriber bases; however, it is something you may want to take with a grain of salt.
• Give 2 hour Lectures at Community Schools, and Colleges and Universities

Some people may choose to go this route. You can put together a slide presentation, and generate interest in your product or service. This is not for everyone. You must be confident, and know what your talking about.

There are many other ideas to generate traffic, to your blog or website. These are some of a few. Some of the points were excellent, and others were not very helpful. Remember, that you need to think about return on investment, and you need to get something out of all the effort and time your putting in.

Google Adsense allows you to use 3 ads per page. Use them throughout your article and in the sidebars.
