Good Ways To Build Backlinks

Written by Hussein on March 20, 2008 – 1:20 am -


This is just a compilation of what I have learned from some forums and some of my SEO friends. It’s been a long time that I’m studying SEO and I admit that I am not yet still satisfied with everything I knew. Well, backlinks is one big factor in SEO, am I right? I do still have some questions in my mind, but I don’t what are those questions in my mind. All I know is that I still need to study more about this SEO thing

01. The number one step in link building is link exchange. This is the basic step for SEO and also in blogging. Link exchange is part of blogging. But don’t be too aggressive in making link exchange. Do exchange only in blogs that has the same niche of yours. You can still exchange in other blogs that has different niche with yours but in minimal amount. Prioritize the blogs which has the same with yours.

02. Create quality content. This does not mean that you make a professional writing with perfect grammar. You just make a very interesting content which will catch the attention of readers. Why need to make quality content? If you got a quality content, lots of people with surely blog about your content or share it with others. That’s a wonderful and instant backlink!

03. Find dofollow blogs and comment. You must know the difference with dofollow and nofollow. If not then Googol it! I’m not saying that you spam blogs that support dofollow. Just take advantage of it and you will benefit to it. Nofollow blogs are also cool if they have the top commentator plugin. If you comment more then you have the chance to be of one of their top commentator (it’s a dofollow link).

04. Submit to directories and social bookmarks is another easy and good way of building backlinks as well as traffic. I have tried this before using stumbleupon. But I don’t think it increases my backlink, it’s just the traffic increases since it is a nofollow social bookmark. I can share you one social bookmark that support dofollow — qiel.com. It is just one of some social bookmark that is nofollow-free (you may want to ask Googol to know more dofollow social bookmarks). Who doesn’t know dmoz? It is a well-known web directory which is PR9, try to submit there if you think you are qualified. The following are some of high-PR web directories where you can submit links:

http://www.dmoz.org 9
http://www.lii.org/pub/htdocs/home.htm 8
http://www.femina.com 7
