]]> One great benefit of article marketing is the generation of
high-quality backlinks.

Simply put, a backlink is a link to your website from another
website. There is a difference in quality of backlinks, and
search engines know the difference. When marketers first learned
that search engines rewarded websites that had many links from
other websites, they began to establish link farms (they traded
links with each other) that were nothing more than pages upon
pages of links. Clearly, these links were not helpful, either
for someone looking to follow a link, or for the search engines,
who at first supposed all the links meant a high-quality site
was being linked to.

As search engines got smarter, marketers realized they needed
links to be contextual: that is, there should be a body of
content (at least a paragraph) surrounding the backlink. This
new understanding defeated the purpose of link farms, and
marketers began to understand and see the value in article
marketing: They could write one article, send it to 100 or more
article sites, hopefully have it reprinted several times, and
have contextual (high-value) backlinks from a number of sources.

Generating quality backlinks is one of the real values in
article marketing. But search engines have gotten smarter still,
and they now tend to see this as a form of link spamming (though
not as bad as the link farms).

So how can a marketer engage in article marketing to generate
backlinks without appearing to spam? By subtly changing your
content for every 20 or so submissions you make. Some marketers
change the context immediately surrounding their website link,
which is good, but I suggest you go a step further and actually
edit your article a bit. If you aim for a 300 word article, and
you write 350 words, pare it down to your original goal and
submit your article to 20 or 25 sites.

Then, edit your article (and resource box) by working back in
the extra 50 words and removing others to create a very similar,
yet different, article (you can keep the same title). Submit
again to another 20 sites or so. You can do this over and over
again, because each time you rework your article (and your
resource box), you will change the content enough that it
doesn’t appear as though you are link spamming.

This is how you generate quality backlinks that search engines
love.

But do we know that there are various things we need to check before agreeing to exchanging links with another web site? After all, the whole point of exchanging links with others is to benefit from the ranking of their web sites. It is therefore imperative that we investigate ahead of time as to whether exchanging links with another site is to our advantage or not.
I have thought about this whole idea of link exchange preparation and came up with a 3-step process that involves an analysis of 3 pages of the web site we want to exchange links with. The 3 pages are:
- the home page where we will need to check 7 things about that page,
- the directory page: this is the page that contains a list of categories that the site has put together in a bid to organize its link exchanges. We need to check 7 things here,
- the backlink page: this is the page that will contain our backlink. We also need to check 7 things here.
Note that in some cases, the ‘target’ web site will not have a directory page. In that case, our analysis will be a 2-step one rather than a 3-step one.
In this first article, of may be 2 or 3, we shall look at the 7 things (organized in 2 groups) we should check about the home page of the target web site.
1. We need to check what Google thinks of the site. This is done by looking at some things that Google is happy to report about a site. The idea here is to see if there are any problems with the site, from Google’s point of view, that would cause us to decide not to exchange links with them.
I suggest that we look at:
a) how many pages does the site have indexed? This can be done by using ’site:www.site.com’ in the Google search box,
b) how many backlinks does Google report for the site? This can be done by using ‘links:www.site.com’ in the Google search box,
c) is the site listed in Google’s index? This can be done by using ‘http://www.site.com’ in the Google search box,
d) what is the Page Rank of the site/home page? There are several ways of doing this. One way is to get the Google toolbar and visit the web site to see its PR. Another way is to use one of the many web sites on the Internet that enables us to find the PR of any web site. And still another way is to look for software that will tell you the PR of any web sites.
Although we will generally need to look at these 4 things together in a sort of table in order to decide whether the target site passes the first step or not, there are definite results that would cause me to decide straight away not to exchange links with a site:
- if the PR of the site is zero,
- if the site is not listed in the Google index,
- if the site does not have any pages indexed by Google.
You will note here that I am using Google as the first step in the preparation. In fact, we can use any search engine if we want to but given that Google is more fussy than others when it comes to backlinks, I would suggest using Google in the above first step.
2. I would then suggest that we look at 3 tags of the home page of the target site, in a bid to determine if the site has a theme compatible with ours:
a) its title tag,
b) its description tag,
c) its keywords tag.
There are several ways of checking the contents of a web page’s tags. If your browser, such as MSIE, allows you to view the contents of a web page, then you will need to visit the home page and click on the right menu command to view the contents of the page. Then you will need to scroll to the top of the page to view the contents of its tags. The alternative is to look for web sites on the Internet that enable you to view the contents of the tags of any web pages. There are many such web sites on the net.
The reason for this step is that Google takes into account the theme of web sites when looking at backlinks. This means that backlinks from a site that has a theme compatible with ours will be of higher value than one that comes from a site that has nothing to do with what our site is about.
As mentioned above, this preparation is on the home page of the target web site and is only the first step. There are 2 more steps: one on the directory page and one on the backlink page.
It is only when the target web site passes the 3 steps that we should feel confident about exchanging links with them in that the link exchange will be to our advantage. Needless to say that the target web site will also need to conduct a similar 3-step analysis of our site prior to wanting to exchange links with us.

The most obvious reason for penetrating your link on a directory is that. The directory administrators are usually struggling hard to increase there page rank which ultimately is helpful for all the links placed on there site.

You can easily find a list of free and paid directories for linking back your site at http://freeweblinks.info/index.php?q=directory

Backlinks are considered to be the best way of increasing website traffic and most importantly increasing the page rank (search engine value) of a website/blog. Placing a backlink is essentially important in cases where you want your site to be promoted. Basically there are two ways of getting backlinks. One is free linking and the other is paid linking. Free linking may seem to be a great option at first glance, but is indeed not so good. The links may have “nofollow” attribute, which help is no way helpful in link building. The link may look normal, but behind the scenes it may not be useful. Other problem with free linking is that the link may not last for a long time. The authors (Webmasters) remove links on a periodic basis. It is always better to opt for paid links. Paid links may be as cheap as $0.99 (http://freeweblinks.info), which includes a lifetime linking with “dofollow” attribute. A link for 99 cents is not a bad deal in any case. Even there are ways where you can put your banner on websites which are helpful in link building. Placing banners is a little costly than link, partially because links consume less space and they look tidy. You can place your link for 3 months on a website for just 0.99$. Above all the link is visible in all the pages of the website including the home page. One of the sites involved in providing cheap but effective banner links is http://freeweblinks.info . This is a web directory which guarantees featured link submission in 24 hours and submits links to top of the category.

So how does one be smart and creative in terms of website rankings? The answer firstly is not just about backlinks.

This leads many people to believe that 80% of their effort should be put into acquiring backlinks … often in the wrong way. The problem most people starting out on the internet business roller coaster is that they think that all links are the same. I mentioned that search engines like Google crave relevance and originality and this is true of links as well. Having a backlink from a site dedicated to garden equipment linking to your site on fashion clothing design is not relevant for example. Having a backlink from multiple pages that are duplicates of each other also does not work because the lack of originality then comes into play. So with all of these restrictions on having a quality link that counts how can you get thousands of backlinks when it feels like there are not thousands of backlinks to be had? There are some options, long term you can write articles, submit your site to directories and cultivate friendships with other sites for backlinks but in the short term without any dodgy business there are services around that follow the guidelines that the search engines love without resorting to “black hat” techniques that can generate backlinks for you.

There are a number of ways to build quality and effective backlinks for your website. Submitting your site to directories, article sites, Online Press Releases, placing signature links in the forums, leaving comments on the blogs etc. You can use reciprocal link exchange program with quality websites to get related with them.
Quality backlinks attracts search engines to find your website. Here, quality of the links dominates over the no. of links directed towards your website. Important thing to be noticed is, a web site linked to you having content relevant to your website will perform better than the website having content unrelated to your website.
Backlinking is a part of the entire ranking algorithm process for all the search engines. If two sites are similar in content and design, search engines have a tendency to prefer site having more inbound links but again quality links dominate. Linking with a bad site will cause a drop off for your websites on the search engines.
You apply for an excellence award, if you get the award you link to the award site, and they link to you. The award site usually isn’t in a competing area so they are not interested in swiping your content–they just want links, like you do. This approach won’t work with everyone, but for certain sites (particularly one-man operations or “hobby” sites), it’s not a bad idea.
Since the wine enthusiast site more than likely has great content on wine, that link has more authority to a search engine therefore putting extra umph behind that link. The more of these you get, the higher you rank for your keywords. This same link on a website or blog that writes about Music or Fashion, may still drive traffic but would not be worth nearly as much in the eyes of the search engines.
If you want to rank well in the SERPs, you need the backlinks. You especially need backlinks with your keywords in the anchor text. Outbound links are not as essential as inbounds.
Search for your keyword on Google and look at the top 100 listings. You’ll want to get as many of these to link to you as possible. Unless of course they’re your competitor.
The truth about backlinks and how they can help build your traffic as well as how they can possibly hurt you. How to Automate your backling in a way that is totally natural and search engine friendly.
Link exchanges and link lists don’t work. In the most recent version of their patent, Google puts more emphasis on links that are surrounded by content, not in a list. The words around the link play an important role in the quality of the link.
And link without expectation of return. Link to help your readers. Link because the link is a better resource that what you have to offer at the moment. Link because a link is a letter of recommendation and your readers respect that.
Commenting on a blog does get you a link back to your blog, but if you really want the benefit of commenting on other blogs, make the comment content. Make the comment add to the conversation. Make it interesting enough that people will want to click through and check out what you have to say. Make it trigger their curiosity enough that the blogger will check out your blog, find that you are brilliant, and want to blog about you and your blog.

Question is, how many backlinks do you need? Do you keep getting backlinks forever?
Both answers to those questions can be found by doing some research about the website that is number one for your chosen keywords. In other words your top competitor.
You need to know how many backlinks they have. Not how many link exchanges they made, but the total amount of all the backlinks they have.
That is the average amount of backlinks you need for your own website to outrank them. Sometimes you may need more and other times less than what they have.

That is the average amount of backlinks you need for your own website to outrank them. Sometimes you may need more and other times less than what they have. If for example the backlinks they have are all one way links, even though it is rare but it may be the case, then you may need more backlinks then they have, if you are going to make link exchanges only. That is because one way links are more powerful than link exchanges.
But in general the amount of backlinks they have is a clear indication of how many you require more or less. It is always a great idea to get both one way links and link exchanges.
Both have their positive sides.
For example if you have made a thousand link exchanges in the post two months and you launch a new website. You can email all those webmasters so they make a link exchange with your new site. That is a thousand link exchanges made easy. That is one of the positive things of making link exchanges. There are scripts and tools that keep track of all your link partners information. Some have an option that allows you to email them all at once.
The other good thing with link exchanges is that you can put up a link exchange submission form and you get links automatically. Many webmasters will simple submit their link and you approve or reject it. Once your website start getting more traffic your site will start getting a ton of these links, with no work on your part. You will also get many link exchange request by email, and you should not reject any link if possible. Links are like diamonds in seo.
So as you can see you need to outrank your competitors who are in the number one position if you want to get the number one position. You should aim for that position, it is the position which gets the most traffic. Websites on page two for example, do not get any traffic at all. Websites on page one do get all the traffic, but the site in page one which is the number one position gets almost all of the traffic.
Generally beginners do not have an exact idea what they want. They just want to start doing seo, they get some backlinks and check rankings in all search engines and so forth.
A webmaster who knows what he is doing, will pick up a keyword or keywords, aim for the number one position in one particular search engine and dominates that position. And every wise webmasters will choose Google, since it provides the best customers. It also means you analyze the competitor who is number one in Google.
All these factors make it easier to improve search engine rankings.
There is no need to check where you rank in msn or yahoo or other search engines. Simple because if you know what you are doing, you choose the right keywords and you know for certain that you are going to get the number one position. When that happens you can get another one in number one position, not relying on other search engines for traffic, but getting what you want and which is the best thing.
So you aim big not small. Checking were you rank in msn is like you are aiming too small, you are expecting traffic from msn and make money. You want the best spot in Google. The other search engine still provide you traffic, because if you rank well in Google probably you are also ranked well in other search engines. So think big once you understand well how seo works. Aim for the best to get the best.

Once you have your profile filled out, go to the signature area. Once there fill in a catchy sentence that includes your main keyword and make that the link to your site.
A signature link in a forum shows up each and every time you post to the forum. It will show up below your post automatically. This is a great way to get traffic. Not only will you be getting great backlinks to get more traffic from Google, but if you provide quality information on the forum people get to know you and like you. You will start getting traffic from the forum itself.
Article Marketing
This is the best way to get a lot of backlinks fast. You simply write a quality article filled with great information. At the bottom of your article you include your “resource box” this is a space you can include a keyword anchor text link to your site.
Then just submit your article to article directories. You will get links from the directories, but other online publishers will come and use your article in their content or newsletter. This gives you even more backlinks, from different places.
Blog Comments
You can find blogs on related topics. Stop by the blog and read the posts. If you have something to add to the conversation leave a comment.
When you leave a comment at a blog you can use the name field of the comment form for your keyword. Then fill in the rest of the information and your comment. This will give you an anchor text link back to your site. Make sure you look around and make sure the blog owner allows this. Some don’t and will consider it spamming. Most marketing blogs will allow you to do this, and many blog owners don’t care.
As you can see there are tons of ways you can create backlinks to your site. The trick is you have to do it. It can be much more fun to spend time creating content, and interacting in social networking communities for traffic, but if you want to get organic search traffic you are going to have to build backlinks. There’s no way around it.

You want to be sure to find forums related to your niche – the topic of your website. Probably the easiest way to do this is to type in your niche into Google with the word “forum” after it. Let’s say you have a blog on healthy living. You’d type into Google “Healthy Living Forum”, or something similar.There are two basic reasons why you want to find forums that actually relate to your niche.. First, the search engines will usually give more weight to links pointing to your site if they come from sites centred around the same niche as your site. Secondly, you are far more likely to come across parties that are interested in your site by placing it in the appropriate forums. Join The Best Forums:After finding the forums you want, you need to  decide on which ones you should join. Click the links to visit about half a dozen of the top search results. You can usually browse through forums without having to sign up, only when you actually want to participate, do you need to join. If you land on a forum that won’t let you view unless you join, forget it and move on. Its only really worth your while to join popular forums so take a look at how many members there are in each forum you visit. You also need to make sure those members are active. Go into one of the more popular forums categories and scan down the list of threads to see when the last posting was made. This information is usually in the right hand column of the forum threads table. If you see a lot of posts made in the last 24 hours, you’ve found a forum with lots of active members. A popular forum like this will attract the search engines and therefore your links will be picked up quite quickly. Search engines tend to love sites with lots of frequently updated, relevant content. This is the ideal type of forum.The last important step before joining a forum is to make sure that it allows you to add a “signature” to all of your posts. Jump into one of the more popular threads on the forum. Scroll down and look at the posts to see if anyone has a signature showing at the bottom of their post. There will usually be a horizontal line after the body of the post and some text and/or links underneath it. Often people just have a quote or witty saying, but sometimes they will have links as well. Not everyone will have a signature, but try to find some members who do. Signatures are crucial, because this is where you are going to put the links to your site. When you find a forum that fit’s the bill, follow the steps to sign up. You only need to find a few to begin with, you can always find more later on  Your Signature:Log in to the forum. Once there go to your profile. Often this will be called ‘User CP’ or ‘User Profile’. In this area you can edit things like your avatar, your bio and preferences. Look for the part that says something like ‘Edit signature’ and click that. You’ll see a text field where you can type in the text you want to appear beneath all your posts. This is where you’ll put the backlinks to your site. Forums use a special kind of code to allow members to format their posts. It’s called BBCode and it’s quite simple to use once you get the hang of it. Copy the examples below and change the URL and text to your URL and some catchy keyword-rich text. Paste the code into you signature box and save it. Link to your website or blog with this code: Learn how to start [url=http://www.onestep4income.net]Coin Collecting[/url] the easy way. You can see in the code above where you need to edit the domain to be your domain. In this example, ‘Coin Collecting’ will be the anchor text for the link. This is where you want to put your keywords. Almost all forums will allow you to have a link in your signature. If you want to make your signature bold, just add the bold tags around it like this: [b]Learn how to start [url=http://www.onestep4income.net]Coin Collecting[/url] the easy way.[/b] Most forums will allow you to bold the text in your signature. If you add the bold code and your signature still doesn’t come out in bold then it’s you know the bold formatting is not allowed. Some forums will also allow you to change the color of the text, although the anchor text will come out as the default link color, usually blue. Here’s how you change the text color: [color=red]Learn how to start [url=http://www.onestep4income.net]Coin Collecting[/url] the easy way.[/color] You can also combine formatting. This would make your signature red and bold (except for the link text which will usually be blue bold). [color=red][b]Learn how to start [url=http://onestep4income.net]Coin Collecting[/url] the easy way.[/b][/color] One final tip for creating your signature. Less is more. If you make your signature look spamming people will treat you like a spammer. You don’t have to use up all available lines in your signature. Make it short, sweet and to the point. If you post great content and people are interested they will click your link. Step 4: Participate! The first three steps were all preparation. Now you get to start creating backlinks to your site! It’s simple, just participate in the forum. Post good content, ask questions. Try to help people out by answering questions. Be nice, be helpful. Every post you make will give you a backlink to your site. The higher the quality of your post, the more powerful your backlink will be, at least in Google. Because Google looks at the text surrounding a link to determine the relevancy of a link having good content in your posts is much more valuable than having a post that says something like, “great post, I agree”. If you simply participate in the forum and try to be friendly and helpful chances are your content will take care of itself. That’s it. Have fun. And remember, you can change your signature any time you want. You might change the text a bit from time to time to find out what generates the most clicks to your site.
