Hi guys, Aside from commenting on relevant blogs and exchanging links,what are some good ways to build backlinks for a blog? More specifically, my blog is a finance blog. Are forums a good way to build backlinks (link in signature)? If so, can you recommend any business/finance forums? Thanks!
Other good ways is to write content for article directories, talk to come local newspaper websites that you can contribute financial information for. Other good way to attract traffic and links is social bookmarking. The most powerful technique is if you write monthly reports and give them away. This will generate you the most traffic
I've never really understood the idea of social bookmarking. Could you explain exactly how it works please?
Forums are great but from SEO stand point I would say not much. You can drive pretty good traffic. here are some other SEO tips 1. Do not optimize your footer link so that it uses the same keyword for which the target page optimized for. in your case FINANCE. 2. You do not have an RSS subscription button. A big mistake for any blogger looking to improve reader followers
Forums can be good, especially if you know what you are talking about I would also submit some finance related articles to articles directories and try to have some guest posts on other finance forums Good Luck
