How To Leverage Backlinks for Website Traffic

Leveraging Backlinks for Fast Traffic

Author: Jeff Childers

The Internet is a cluttered place. Millions of websites,
billions of articles, and the same fifteen ads everywhere you
look. How in the world can you get people to your website
without launching a multimillion-dollar ad campaign? Simple: use
backlinks.

Backlinks are links that you put out there on blogs, message
boards, your own content, and so on that invite people back to
your site. Backlinks are important for two reasons: (A) They
allow people to find you; and (B) The more outside links point
to your site, the more Google rewards you with higher placement
in search results.

Backlinks are simple in concept, but they can be complicated to
use. If you don’t use them correctly, they can actually put you
further down in Google!

1.) Provide backlinks on your social networking sites. This may
seem to be a no-brainer, but many people feel iffy about doing
it. Maybe it’s because they want to keep business and friendship
separate. That’s fine. But instead of e-mailing that great new
joke to your friends, why don’t you post it on your website and
then link over to it using a backlink from your Facebook wall?
This allows it to spread across many pages quickly (no one has
to e-mail it), pushes you up in Google, and drives traffic to
your site. A word of caution: Don’t do this constantly. And
don’t run around adding friends just to have the excuse of
sending them links.

2.) Write articles on sites like eHow, Bukisa, HubPages, Xomba,
and some of the many, many more out there. Then just give a
quick link to your site. I do it all the time. People keep
flooding into my website from all over the Internet, long after
the work is done.

3.) Create a real win-win by linking to your articles. Sites
like Digg, Propeller, and SheToldMe.com let you post snippets
and a link. (Plus, SheToldMe shares ad revenue). Linking your
articles over from these sites pushes them up in Google. By
extension, your website goes up too.

4.) Make your website exceptional. As people learn about you,
they talk about you! You’ll start getting backlinks for free.
Word of mouth is your most powerful advertising. People take
what you say about your own site with a grain of salt-they’re
much more likely to believe someone else.

5.) Backlink when you comment on blogs, newspapers, and other
sites. Some sites are open in their policy on this, and some are
not. Consult the Terms of Use of every site. Places like Yahoo!
message boards can be a great place to backlink. But don’t
simply comment for the purpose of giving yourself a link, and
never spam message boards. You’ll get people mad. Do it enough,
and they may report you. Eventually, you could get delisted from
the search engines.
