Hi, There are five main tasks to implement systematically whether to build quality backlinks for your blog / website: 1. Create quality content; 2. Submit your blog to directories related; 3. Submit new content to the blog Social bookmarks; 4. Comment on blogs, websites and related forums; 5. Get links to the various pages of the blog / site.
At first, submit your link in the google. Then try to get traffic for your site. You can get traffic by doing, article submission, directory submission, RSS feed submission, Social Bookmarking, Forum posting, Link exchange, Link wheel etc. Use different types of social media like facebook, twitter, google+ etc to get more traffic. Another thing that content of your site should be unique and quality full. You may update your site in a regular basis. It helps you to get more visitor as well as traffic for your site. Good luck for you.
Based on my experience in 4 years of blogging and SEO, to increase the backlinks you have, you should have backlinks on high PR sites and other quality sites which are also INDEXED on Google.
.Edu backlinks are the best. However, you can get good backlinks from any high pr site. In the meantime, try to guest post on relevant blogs. There are many ways to build good links, you just have to take the time to do it right. Good luck in your future endeavors.
