2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Please avoid link farms at all cost, cause these sites only
spam the search engines and is of zero value to its
visitors.
6. 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.
7. 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..
8. Just follow the basic rules of the search engines and in
no time you will notice a fair amount of traffic coming
your way.
9. 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.
