Back links are the life force of guerilla marketing. Basically, your website gets stronger in search engine's eyes, the more links you have to your site. Sooo the easy way to do this is to go to blogs and be like "Hey look at this cool site" and put your link there. That's a back link
Backlinks are important to get higher rankings at search engines. If you want good rankings, try to get relevant backlinks as much as you can. How do u get backlinks? - by Directories Submissions, Link Exchanges, One way links, Articles Submissions etc.
You want back link on your site no for that do directory submission, blog posting, social book marking, forum signatures, classifieds , blog comments and link exchanges.
As seopigeon says have your site linked in your forum signature on this forum and others. Also check if links are nofollow or dofollow although there will be plenty of debates on this.
You can see some of my articles on link building here http://nationsubmit.blogspot.com/search/label/Link Building
You can also do link exchange by contacting webmasters but the holistic approach should be- concentrate more on generating great content.
some of the best ways to get backlinks are... directory submission social bookmarking article submission blog commenting forum posting (signatures).
If any one can give me an idea, I started using a software for submitting my websites into directories and also for article submission, is it good? As a newbie I have a doubt. Thanks
Article Marketing works works wonders to get backlinks. Then there are social bookmarking sites to get fast in the search results.
Ur link signatures in ur 200 odd posts will help you the most! thats 200 + backlinks - in a month - since u joined in Jan 2008 !
thanks for the help guys, ill put my link in my sig- do i need to make it a hyperlink or should i just have "http://www.nvthelook.com" in my sig by itself also can people explain more on: directory submission social bookmarking article submission blog commenting
For your signature, a hyperlink will be beter. directory submission: It's about submitting your sites on hundreads of Free Web Directories on the Net. social bookmarking: You get a lot of traffic with these sites, you have to submit your link to these sites (like a directory, but you will add it to your account, and it can be saved by other people). article submission: You write an article, and at the bottom, you add your website, so, when you submit your article to these directories, you will have a backlink, and the people who read the article will see your ad. blog commenting: There are a lot of blogs that let you add comments on them, when commenting, be sure of adding your website (and your site's name instead of your own name), so you can get lots of powerful backlinks (if the blogs are no-nofollow). All this can be done by you, or you can hire someone to do it. I hope it's more clear for you now. -Martin
It would be better if you put it as Hyperlink, and put the good keywords as Anchor Words. Like i have a website related to dating and i am targeting some good keywords such as "Dating Helps" Then you gotta put it this way Dating Help So from this way i got one BACKLINK.
