Four Ways to Get Quality Backlinks

According to search engine optimization (or SEO) experts, the best way to get a good spot in search engines like Google and Yahoo is to have one-way back links, but they do not exactly say how you can obtain them and where to get them.   Here are some ways on how to get one-way back links and improve your rank in search engines:

1. Comment on blogs.  Look for blogs that are somewhat related to your website’s niche, read their contents, and leave a comment.  Make sure that you leave interesting comments so you can catch the attention of blog owners.  If ever they’ll find your comments interesting and valuable, they will certainly post your link on their blogs.  But the most important thing of all, do not forget to include your link when commenting on blogs.

2. Solicit back links from your customers and suppliers.  You may ask a little favor from your customers and also from your suppliers if they could place your link on their websites.  You might need to give them something in exchange for the back link, not a payment, but just some kind of a token of gratitude.  You can, for instance, give your customers freebies or discounts, and for your suppliers, you can make a good comment or testimony regarding the products or services that they’re offering.

3. Submit your link to online link directories.  Most link directories that you find online are useless, and it seems that only a few people use them to find websites, but it really doesn’t matter because all you need are links.  This time, you will not have to worry about the value of the site linking to you.  There are websites that may ask for link exchanges or sometimes money before you get linked, and this are the kind of sites that you should avoid as they won’t give you any due advantage.

4. Submit your contents on article directories.  Article submission is one of the best ways to gain one-way back links.  The initial step that you have to do is to come up with several good quality and helpful articles about your website’s niche and then submit them to article directories, such as GoArticles and EzineArticles.  If readers who visit the article directories find your articles valuable to their site, they might repost your article or post your link to their respective websites. Search engines treat such back links to be of low quality, unlike links that come from your suppliers and customers.
