One of the biggest concerns of Internet marketers is how to get quality one-way backlinks to their websites or blogs. While there are many ways you can go about this, there are 3 particularly very powerful ways of doing it.
Article Marketing
When you write an article and submit it to an article directory or an online interest group that you are a member of, like Yahoo and Google Groups, two things happen.
One, you get very targeted traffic from the place you submitted your article to. Remember, that you are submitting to a forum in your niche, an interest group that you are a member of or the right category and subcategory of your favorite article directory. Your visitors will therefore, be very targeted.
The other thing that happens to your site is that you get very high quality one-way backlinks to the website or blog that you are promoting. And a lot of time the Page Rank of the site you submitted to will be passed back to your site, putting your webpage in the VIP seats of the search engines, so to say.
Social Bookmarking
These are sites where web surfers go to and submit lists of their favorite web pages, etc. It is like the regular book-marking function on your browser tool bar.
The only difference here is that you are adding them to a site online instead on your computer, and it is viewable by other surfers. Normally when book-marking your web pages, you categorize them under particular “tags” or keywords, so that the pages could be viewed by others searching that site or from the search engines.
Once you add your pages to these sites, links to your site are bound to stay there forever. Plus, you get to receive a lot of traffic from these sites, which include StumbleUpon and OnlyWire, among others.
Forums
There are literally tens of thousands of targeted forums online catering to people of all backgrounds and interests. One good thing about these forums is that they are also a good (read that ‘reliable’) source of targeted traffic and quality one-way backlinks to your sites.
There are two ways that you can take advantage of the forums that you are a member of.
One, you can post a link to the site or web page of your choice in your signature files (basically a bio box). This way, whenever anyone reads your posts and find them interesting, they can click over to your site. The link also stays there for as long as you want, if you don’t abuse the terms of the forum and risk getting banned.
The second way to link back to your site(s) from these forums is to include your website address in your profile. Every forum worth its salt provides its members with a way of posting basic information about themselves on their profiles. If the forum happens to be a high PR one, you just got yourself high quality search engines-favored backlinks to your website.
Whatever niche you are in, you can take advantage of these three ways of getting quality one-way backlinks to your site.
