The importance of relevant backlinks
Most webmasters are aware of the importance of 
backlinks and any experienced webmaster will 
definately work very hard to get as much as possible 
backlinks to his / her site.
While backlinks are very important, it is not all backlinks 
that carry weight. What I mean by this, is that not any 
backlink will increase your traffic. The important thing 
about backlinks are that they must be relevant links. Thh 
simply means that the sites that are linking to your site, 
must be about the same topics to let that backlink 
count.
Say for instance that you have a website about "SPORT", 
it will be of little use to you if a site about "FINANCE" 
links to your site. Sports and Finance are not related to 
each other. But if you have a website about sports and 
five other sites are about tennis, rugby, golf, cricket or 
boxing, it will be relevant links if they are all linking to 
you, but your site must at least cover all these different 
topics.
Please avoid link farms at all cost, cause these sites only 
spam the search engines and is of zero value to its 
visitors.
One of the things you can do if you want relevant 
backlinks to your site, is to search for websites in your 
niche and kindly ask the webmaster for a reciprocal link. 
Or if you want one--way backlinks, and your website is 
maybe about adsense, write a good quality article about 
adsense and put it on quality article directories with 
high pagerank. Such links are also relevant.
One other thing you should not overlook, is to pay great 
attention to your anchor text.. The achor text is that 
little yellow balloon which pops up when you hover your 
mouse cursor over a live link. If you place it in the URL of 
your backlink, it will look like this title='Adsense for BLA 
BLA BLA' or something similar. Experiment a little. Just 
remember that no method is the best method and 
something which might work for somebody else, does 
not neccesarily mean it will also work for you..
Just follow the basic rules of the search engines and in 
no time you will notice a fair amount of traffic coming 
your way.
One more thing. You are free to use this article on your 
website provided that it stays unaltered and the links in 
the resourcebox is live, search-engine friendly links.
DO NOT STEAL. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.
