How To Create Profitable one-way Back Links For More Web Traffic and Higher Ranking

Back links are extremely important in Search Engine Optimization. If you want your site to soar in search engine results you need good page ranking. If you want a higher page ranking you need to create tons of back links.

Google receives 3,000 search inquiries a second. That’s 180,000 per minute. If you want your share of this abundance of free business, you will need to work hard, smart and consistently.

What are back links?

Back links are a link from somewhere else to your site. It easy to create them, but you will need hundreds, even thousands of these links and you will need new ones every month. They may only take a minute to create, but they need to be created consistently.

How Many Back Links Do You Need?

Lots and lots and lots. You need more than your competition who is ranked number one with Google. If you do that, you will be number one. The more competitive the market, the more links you need to be ranked number one. Plan to add as many links as you can every month without fail. Remember that your competitors are adding new links every month, so the number of links you need keeps growing.

Is there Back Link “shortcuts”?

As you surf the web, don’t fall for sites advertising short cuts to link creation. They offer to sell you hundreds of links. You need to keep in mind that the quality of your links is key to your success. The sites you link to must be similar topics to your site or they may be throw out by the search engines. The quality of the linking site is important too. So, although it may sound easier to to hire link creating sites, choosing the site you link to and actually creating the link yourself is a much better and safer choice.

Use Articles To Get Back Links

Writing informative articles is a great way to create back links. You can not only use the articles on your site, but you will want to publish them to article directory as well. Every site that publishes your article will create a back link to your site. Other sites may pick up your article and publish it creating “viral” publishing and even more links. You should write minimally one or two articles every month consistently or hire an outside source to do this for you.

Using Video To Get Back Links

Another great way to create links and sell as well is to create video clips that tell your story or sell your product in an interesting and real way. You can use these clips to sell on your site and you can publish them to video sites like youtube.com, metacafe.com, viddler.com and many others. These get great rankings in the search engines. Creating video is becoming vastly popular and highly effective.

Using Social Networks To Create Back Links

Social networks like facebook.com or myspace.com are great ways to create quality links. Myspace is one of the most visited sites on the web, so links from it makes your site rank popular. To create links from social sites, open an account (tip: copy each “about you” info into notebook and save, this will save you time as you are opening up many social accounts), link to others with similar interests, and make comments that include a link to your site. It’s best to comment on something that has relevance to your site and what the topic of discussion is about or you will appear spammy.

Using Blogs To Create Back Links

Bloggers want comments from readers! Visit blogs on similar topics to yours and on any popular blogs, leave a comment on a posting. Your comment can contain a link to your site. This should not be just self serving but should continue the discussion topic. For example, if your site deals with social marketing and you see a blog article about twitter, you might make a comment like, “excellent article with good tips. I also found good twitter info at http://oursuccessathome.com/wp”

One great way to find good blogs is to set up a Google alert (thanks Teena for this tip) for all the keywords you use and you will be notified anytime a post is made with those key words. Then, you simply visit those blogs and make a comment.

It’s work, but it’s well worth it!

If you do not have the time to do this kind of work, there are agencies on the web who will do it for you. Outsourcing this work out is very cost effective and it allows you to keep selling and managing while someone else creates the links that drive your site to the top!
