There are simply way too many methods on how to get backlinks that I could teach you, some work and some don’t, and it is going to always be in your best interest to ensure that you diversify all of your methods of earning one way backlinks. Why? More than anything, the search engines love diversity within a backlink structure. The more variety that you introduce into your backlink structure could very well mean the difference between you ranking really well, and being removed from the Google index altogether.
Article Submission
Most people ask me bluntly how to get backlinks, the most common answer that I come up with is Article Marketing. If the topic that your site is based upon is something that you enjoy, then you should enjoy writing articles on that topic. It is as simple as this. Pick a topic, write about it, and place the right keywords throughout the article in a way that will not appear spam like.
The bonus of article submission is that you are allowed to include an anchor text based link in your author credit text field, that will lead back to your site, and will count as one backlink. This is one of the most effective ways to earn backlinks over time, from here, the articles that you publish are made available for use on other websites, which are all variable in their PageRank, which is great for your standings in the search engines.
Blog Commenting
Another method that I mention when I am asked how to get backlinks is blog commenting. When you constructively comment on another blog, you can earn backlinks quite easily and quickly. As a means of making sure that your efforts are fruitful, must mention however that there is a level of respect that needs to be given when commenting on blogs, as the majority of webmasters despise spam in all forms. If a comment appears to be for the purpose of earning an anchor text based backlink, it will most likely be deleted, this rendering your efforts a waste of time.
In any case, a backlink from a blog means good news, regardless of whether or not it is anchor text based, this signifies diversity within your backlink structure, which is smiled upon by most of the search engines, including Google.
Guest Blogging
One of the first ways that I learned how to earn backlinks was through this wild idea called “Blog Commenting”. To put it in simple terms, you contact a blog owner, ask if they would like someone else to post on their blog as well, in exchange for a backlink in the body of some posts. As us blog owners understand, it is a very busy lifestyle that at times leaves no room to settle, in most cases, a blog owner will be happy to oblige. Of course, if you are an expert in your field, then this will also work further towards earning you recognition as a leader in your field, which for many is a very large part of why they blog.
In order to wrap this up, I must say that the number of methods out there to earn backlinks are very large in numbers, {there are some that I have not mentioned here!some that are not mentioned here}, however, the main thing that needs to be kept in the back of your mind is that diversity is the one thing that Google appreciates in all backlink structures. By spicing things up and introducing some variety, this will always work in your favor.
