Backlinks are a primary part of affiliate marketing, and if you are not doing all you can to add to them, you will struggle to get traffic to your website. A backlink is a link pointing back to your website from another website. You need to be doing something every day to add to your backlinks in order to boost your website rankings, so underneath I have laid out seven ways of getting free backlinks, plus two paid ways.
Free Backlinks
1. Article marketing. If you are checking out this article on an article ezine, you will observe a resource box at the base. This contains links to my websites. If you can write articles twice a week or more, and present them to many directories, you will add to your backlinks quickly.
2. Blogging. Setting up a blog is free and it’s fun. Every time you post, give a link to your website and after that submit it to social bookmarking sites. This will get you several valuable backlinks to your blog and to your website every time you post. Search engines love blogs so do this as much as possible.
3. Blog Commenting. Search other people’s blogs and post helpful comments. This is only valid if you post in blogs that allow links back to your website. Also, do correctly read the post and make genuine comments, otherwise you could be accused of spamming.
4. Forums. Spend time in online forums that are relevant to your business, and make sure you have a signature containing a hyperlinked keyword phrase to your website. Most forums posts stay online for a long time so this can give you backlinks for a long time. Of course, it’s imperative that you get correctly involved in forums, providing useful information and asking genuine questions. Spammers are spotted very fast and you could be disqualified if you just use them purely for the backlinks.
5. Link exchange. Ask other website owners if you can trade links, by giving a link to their website on yours and vice versa. This is known as mutual linking, which is not as powerful as one-way linking, but is still worth while, especially if your link partner has a high page rank.
6. The media releases. Send out a press release each time you provide a new product or service, or have some interesting news. Press releases contain links to your website that can create traffic immediately and in future.
7. Write Testimonials. If you join a business that has just launched, and are asked to write a testimonial, do it. These will be used in their sales pages and stay around for a long time, giving you valuable traffic. When you get the chance, offer to write testimonials for other people in exchange for a backlink.
Paid for backlinks
1. Purchase Ezine Ads. If you buy advertising in online magazines you will get a backlink to your website. Purchasing multiple ads will save cash and time because you will only need one purchase to be in several magazines.
2. Purchase ads on blogs. You can offer to pay for a text link on somebody else’s blog, and if they have a frequent readership this can give you huge exposure for your website as well as enlarged backlinks.
The above thoughts are the most well known ways to receive backlinks, but you should constantly use your head to get as many free backlinks as you can (rightfully of course). If you do this frequently you will find your website rankings just keep moving up.
