Building Backlinks
What are backlinks?
They are basically just links from websites pointing to your website. Backlinks play a major role in determining the importance of your website. Backlinks are what is know as offpage SEO (search engine optimization). Offpage SEO is a lot more important to major search engines when it comes to ranking your website high. The search engines crawl websites like ezinearticles.com and when they find your link there, they will consider your site more relevant and index your site faster. Thus, getting you higher search engine rankings for a particular topic or keyword.
How do you get backlinks?
Three major ways to get relevant backlinks:
1. Comment on blogs with relevant content.
2. Submit articles to major directories (see list in Recommended Resources) with link in resource box.
3. Submit to web directories.
Does this work? Sure does. I submitted my main business blog to 241 directories using this great service and now I am on Page 1 on Yahoo.
