Every Internet Marketer Needs Back-Links
If you have ever visited an Internet Marketing forum such as the acclaimed (warrior forum), you will undoubtedly have seen a multitude of topics centered around back-links.
What are back-links?
Basically, back-links are what every Internet Marketer strives to get to their website. A back-link is a link to your website from another website and when search engines such as Google see these back-links they recognise that your website is offering good enough content for other websites to to link to yours and so reward you with recognition in the form of page ranking in their search engines.
The more more back-links you have, the higher ranking you will achieve.
There are varying degrees of strength of backlinks in as much as if you get a back-link from a website which has a page rank of pr4 for example, it will be a much stronger link than one coming from a pr1 site. So it is important to get as many high pr back-links as possible.
Similarly, a one way link, ie a link from another website to yours without a link from your website to theirs, has more strength than a reciprocal link.
There are numerous ways in which you get back-links, the most common of which is article marketing where you leave a link to your website in your resource box or signature file. If a publisher likes your article and publishes it on their website or blog, you will get a backlink.
Similarly, blog commenting (commenting on other blogs) and forum posting will generate backlinks.
One important thing to remember when doing article marketing etc., is that having your keywords within your article resource box will assist you in getting an increased page ranking for that keyword. So it is important that you know (how to do proper keyword research).
I know from personal experience, that article marketing is not everyone’s ideal and although I do like to think I write reasonably good, content rich articles which keep my readers entertained, it can sometimes be very frustrating to get motivated. I very often find myself suffering from writers block and can go day without writing a single word.
This frustration led me to seek out alternative methods of generating back-links. I even tried PLR articles – these are articles which other people have written and made available for general use. To be of any value, you still need to re-write a percentage of the content. For me, they are more trouble than they are worth, but many internet marketers use them.
If article marketing etc. is something you feel you would struggle with, then their are other ways to generate back-links, one of which I personally use and absolutely swear by and that is The Free Traffic System which shows you (how to get backlinks).

Hi Graham,
Great tips on getting backlinks. You know, as they, “it’s all about the backlinks.” Okay, well maybe I’m the only one that says that, lol, but it’s very true. I also have to agree about the Free Traffic System… a totally awesome resource for getting backlinks. And, as you know from my blog, I just found another awesome resource for getting backlinks automatically.

Timely article, well-presented. Thanks! Backlinks are so vitally important, as you have indicated, and anything fellow marketers can do to encourage others to develop their backlink strategies is good. I try to do all the things you suggested, but there’s always more that a marketer could and should be doing.

July 17th, 2009 at 11:08 pmInteresting article about backlinks as they are one of the key part of the whole online business puzzle. I like the part where you state that PLR do not work for you. This is relevant as each one will need to find what work for them. This is not a business where one model fir all Thankfully there are enough model to suit most if not all tastes
Cheers

I’m with you on writing informative articles. I write good myself, but depending on what I’m writing about I can start running out of ideas. Seems like some things I could write all day about and others I soon run out of ideas. Social Bookmarking is another hot way right now to create backlinks. Needless to say Article Marketing right now is the best way to create backlinks.
