As a webmaster, one of the things that we know that will most certainly propel a website to the top of the search engine rankings is by earning high quality backlinks from high quality sources. And when I say this, I mean high quality links that come from good sources. This isn’t always an easy task to complete, not all that long ago one of the main things that webmasters relied upon were the common link exchange networks, however today this is nowhere near as effective as earning one way back links. In some cases, these services can even see your website removed from search engine results.
There are simply an endless amount of possibilities when it comes to earning one way backlinks. To cut to the pure basics, the most simple way is to simply ask another webmaster for a one way back link. A lot of webmasters really don’t like giving out links to other people, however sometimes can be persuaded by offering a price. Having said all of this, there are many ways to earn back links, and I am going to talk to you about some of these methods right now.
Article Marketing
By posting articles to one of the many hundreds of article directories on the Internet, you can earn high quality backlinks by simply supplying a link in the author credit box in your article. As the distribution radius is quite wide for articles, you can guarantee that by submitting one article you will receive many one-way back links in return.
Blog Directories
On the Internet, there are thousands upon thousands of blog directories available for you to submit your blog or website to. What this means for you is that by submitting your blog or website to this network, you can earn a quality one way back link, if they approve your listing. You can easily submit your website or blog yourself, or you can also pay an outsourcer to do this for you.
Generating Backlinks Through Social Bookmarking
Web 2.0 is the biggest new property on the Internet at the moment, and within the ranks of these new and more interactive properties, there are several of these so-called social bookmarking websites. For the webmaster, what this means is that you are able to share your favorite URLs with other potential visitors. Although the system is not designed for this, you can use it to your advantage when promoting pages on your website, or other related websites.
However, from the experience that I have gained over the years, The most effective method that I have used personally involves approaching other blog owners directly and asking for a back link. This isn’t always as simple as it sounds, sometimes blog owners will appreciate a few dollars as a reward for the effort of creating a high quality backlinks. Of course you would be surprised at the number of webmasters who would say yes to accepting as little as five dollars for a simple one way back link from their blog, in all cases it is as simple as this. “ If you don’t ask you will never know”.
