Getting Anchored Backlinks To Your Website

By David Lim

Without anchored backlinks pointing back to your site, even the very best content in the world will not get the search engines to take notice of you. To the search engines, a backlink is similar to a vote on the quality of your website and the more votes you have, the higher the quality of the content on your site.

There are many ways you can use to get backlinks. I have listed below the more common ways that a webmaster uses to get backlinks.

Creating Anchored Links From Your Own Websites Or Blogs

One way you can do this is to start several different websites and blogs on different aspects of the same topic or on related topics. In fact, you can do both. Then you can link all of them together so that they point to each other. Or you can have a main site and have all your other sites point to that one site.

Submit To Various Directories

Submitting your website to the relevant directories is a good way of getting an anchored backlink. Another way would be to participate in forums, in which you are usually allowed a backlink to your website in your signature. You can also comment in blogs, in which there usually is a field where you can leave a link to your website or blog.

Getting Other Webmasters To Post Your Link

This is the hardest way to go about getting backlinks. And, in the eyes of the search engines, might also be the most valuable. Remember that although each backlink is a vote for your site, but not all votes are equal.

You can find a list of some of the usual ways of getting third party backlinks to your website or blog. Take note that there are many other ways of doing so, and you are really only limited by your own creativity.

* Exchange Links With Other Websites. This technique probably dates back to the birth of SEO itself. Links are exchanged between the link directories or the home pages of the sites doing the exchange.

* Link Bait. Despite the name, linkbaiting is a legitimate SEO technique to generate visits to your website, and will also serve to create backlinks for you. Linkbaiting is essentially to come up with content, or link bait, that webmasters just have to link to, or people just have to talk about. Controversial or funny content would usually work very well as link bait.

* Give Away Something Free. Nobody can resist a free gift. Look for products, free or otherwise, that allows you to give it away for free. Do make sure that it is a useful product. Offer a free download of the product, and request that the webmaster provide a backlink to your website in return.

Conclusion

The Internet has changed tremendously, and if anything, the pace of change has actually increased. Along with this change, there has been an influx of websites and blog by webmasters hoping to make a living from the net. Anchored backlinks is key to standing out from among all this competition. With the present day social networking site like Twitter and Facebook, getting in touch with other webmasters is actually much easier. It is just a matter of doing the work need, and you will get the backlinks needed to rank well in the search engines.
