Today we will discuss how to get quality back links to your website. Back links are links to your website from other websites. Quality back links are links that are placed on websites that are relevant to your websites content.
For example: if you have a website that sells internet marketing services, you want to find websites that have the same type of content on their websites to place your website link on. Sites like internet marketing services, web design services, email marketing services, pay per click services, and affiliate marketing services will have content that Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the other major search engines see a relevant to your sites content.
Back links are important and count as votes of website quality. It use to be that quantity was more important than quality. But now quality is the key factor. It is better to have 10 quality back links that are targeted to your industry than 1,000 back links to uncommon topics.
It is better to get your back link placed on the first or second page of a website than hundreds of pages in. Make sure that you can get to the page your link is going to be on from the home page of the website. If you can't get there, than the search engines probably can't get there.
There are 2 types of back link placement, free and paid placement. Free placement can be done several different ways. You can submit your website to directories under the category of your website. Many will request that you place a reciprocal link on your site for the free placement of your link on theirs. Write articles about your expertise in the industry in which you have knowledge. This article is targeting internet marketing and back links. The link at the bottom of this article along with the article content will be placed on sites that need quality content on their websites. Most article directories are free to submit to. You can do research to find sites that are relevant to yours and write an email explaining the benefits of exchanging links with them It's a lot of work but can be beneficial if you can get some decent link exchanges.
When you don't have a lot of time to do manual link placement work, you may choose to look at purchasing text links for your site. If you plan on doing this you will want to do your research on the sites history using Alexa, Google, and other free website tools.
Many websites want to charge a monthly fee for this. Make an offer; don't settle for what they are asking for. If they want to place you on one page or every page of the website, that can change the cost and value of the link. See if you can get a deal for the entire year, it may be much cheaper than paying for the link each month. The benefit of getting on every page is that you may get more than back link credit; many times you will get extra traffic from the site itself.
Using the right information in the back link is very important. You want to use the description you're using to place in the search engines with. When the search engines crawl the back link, they will come to your site and see that the information matches up and will give your site more relevance in the engines.
Remember that building quality back links takes time. You must continue to build back links to your site if you want to make it to first place in the engines.

Link Building And Places To Submit Your Links
Search engines are a great way to get people to your site. The problem is no matter what you sell, search engine rankings for your keywords are most likely competitive. What makes it worse is, people usually don't bother looking for listings beyond the first few pages of the search results. The good news is, on the Internet a small company can effectively compete with companies that are willing to spend thousands of dollars for search engine optimization.
This is what makes it fun. When it comes to competing for keyword position in the major search engines you can stomp large companies in the ground. You will not be able to do it for all keywords, but you will be able to beat them consistently for many keywords. That is if you have a well thought out, persistent linking campaign.
Used effectively, link building can be one of the single best techniques you can use for getting your web site listed in the first few pages of a keyword search. Link quantity and quality are an important element of every search engine's ranking algorithms. If your site doesn't have links, it will not rank well for competitive keywords.
Places to submit your link.
Link Directories
There are hundreds of free link directories where you can submit your link. Search Google for, "link directory". Submit your site to a few new link directories every day. You will soon get link requests from members of these directories. Be picky, only exchange links with sites that are in some way related to, but do not compete with your site.
Article Directories
Good articles will bring one way, related links to your site. Write articles which are related to the subject of your site and submit them to free article directories. At the bottom of each article you can put a link back to your site. Don't just link to your home page, link to pages deep within your site. If your articles are worth reading, there is a good chance that web masters looking for content will use them on their site. There are no better links than one way links that point to pages deep within your site.
Blogs
Search for sites with blogs that relate to your site. If your site is about gardening search Google for, "blog gardening". This will pull up gardenings sites with blogs where you can leave your comments and a link to your site under your name. It is important that your blog comments are genuine and not spam.
Forums
Search for forums with the same niche as your site. Leave your link in forums signature. Again, it is important that your comments are genuine and not spam.
Web Directories
There are thousands of free web directories where you can submit your link. Always submit your site to the major search engines like Google and Yahoo by hand. This means going to their site and filling out the information they ask of you. Doing this to all the thousands of web directories is not possible. I recommend using an automated submission program like AddWeb.
Press Releases
Write press releases about your site and submit them to press release distribution services. Search Google for, "press release distribution service".
Social Networking
Social network services like MySpace and Facebook provide ways for people with the same interests to interact, such as chat, messaging, email, video, file sharing and blogging. Search engines and people love social networking sites, participate in them and leave a link to your site under your name.
Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking is a way for people to remember, organize and share bookmarks of web pages and see what others have bookmarked. As people bookmark sites, sites that are of more use are bookmarked by more users. Thus, sites are ranked based on their usefulness.
Links are one of the most important ways for visitors to find your site. It's all about getting people to your web site. With persistent link building the search engines can find your site faster and will rank you higher on their search results.

Avoid Having Your Site Red Flagged
It sounds like the simplest thing in the world. Just find someone with a site that has content similar to your own and strike a deal, "You place a link to me on your web site and I'll place a link to you on mine." There was a time when this could be an effective way to generate traffic to your site as well as improve your search engine ranking. But for the most part, those times are gone.
Unscrupulous web masters figured out how to abuse the system by creating link farms and other schemes with absolutely no benefit for the site visitors, and search engines got smart and put an end to the whole thing. So can't we benefit from reciprocal links anymore? Sure we can, but with a few caveats. This article will explore how safe linking practices can still help your site gain traffic, and do better in the search engine results pages.
So as you may have already guessed, search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN are skeptical about two-way links. Due in a large extent to manipulation of the system, these search engines have programmed their bots to penalize sites for unethical linking practices, even if there is only the suspicion of wrong doing.
Where at one time a site looked popular if it was linked to by many sites, now that is a red flag. The search bots actually follow the links these days, and evaluate whether or not the content on both ends of the links is related. If it is related, everything might be fine. If it isn't related, or the bots aren't able to see the relationship, your search engine placements might be effected.
Basically, if anything you're doing even looks the least bit like you're trying to manipulate your search engine placements, you're likely to get dinged. So do you have to worry that a site links to you if they aren't based on a related topic? Technically that shouldn't be a problem; usually only the site placing the link will be penalized for an irrelevant link. Otherwise, it would open the door to a whole realm of sabotaging other sites by linking to them.
So if you want to avoid the famous "Google Slap" where you get knocked off the top of the search engine placements for what Google interperets as foul play, what is a safe linking practice? The answer is simple, "think naturally." Set up linking arrangements that appear natural and ask yourself, "Would I place this link if the search engines weren't a factor?"
Chances are, if you're only linking to improve your placement then you could be asking for trouble. But if the link is there to truly serve your site visitors, then go for it.

Inbound Link Building Strategy
Your success on the internet is directly related to how many other sites are linking back to yours. The goal of every webmaster is to get more inbound links. I have listed three simple steps below to automate and multiply the process. Once the process is started you will be getting inbound links while you sleep.
Number One:
Write Articles. It is hard work to write a quality article but you will find it to be a long term strategy for building inbound links that will pay off for years to come in both link popularity and traffic to your website. You may not consider yourself an expert on a particular subject, but if you have a website I'll bet you are an expert on the subject you have chosen for that website. Write an article on the theme of your website and submit it to the various article directories on the internet. Believe it or not, you are an expert. You just haven't realize it yet.
You may experience a feeding frenzy on your article. Why? Simply because webmasters are constantly looking for content. Webmasters are busy designing sites and are able to save time by using expert content from other people. They often create websites with thousands of pages and are in need of content for those sites. And they know where the directories are that will contain your article. Every time your article is picked up by a webmaster, it will result in a link back to your site. In the first few days after I submitted my first article it got pick up and posted 400 times! I was shocked. You will be too!
Number Two:
Signup at a link exchange coop. A link exchange coop can give you more backlinks in a few minutes work than you could ever generate by yourself. You are utilizing a network of thousands of other websites. And thats what the internet is, a huge network. Take advantage of the power of networking. There are many link exchanges. One well known link exchange coop is: . Depending on the size and pagerank of your site, you could earn 1000 inbound links or more my adding a few lines of code to your website. Do some research and find the one that will bring the greatest benefit to your site.
Number Three:
Automate the reciprocal linking process by utilizing reciprocal linking software. Do not spend hours upon hours emailing webmasters and posting reciprocal links to your site. Simple buy a reciprocal link script, set it up at your website and it will process the links, add them to your website and then it will monitor to make sure each webmaster has posted your link to his/her website. This will free up your time to do something more important like writing articles. To find inexpensive software to automate the reciprocal linking process, simply go to eBay and type in the search phrase "reciprocal linking popularity software".
Rather than doing things the same old way, try these three steps. They will save you countless hours. By using these time savers you will be much more efficient in getting backlinks and you will also get hundreds, maybe even thousands more than you ever thought possible.
