We all should know that the Search Engines have altogether changed their algorithms years ago. Building links to your website is still as important as it was. How to get more backlinks is now how to get quality backlinks. As now, link building is more important with relevant websites rather than just building hundreds and thousands of unrelated paid links to your website. Google has announced in its official blogs and all over the Web that getting paid inbound links can get your website disappear permanently from their search engines and has also started on their campaign to penalize paid links and the websites selling paid links. Another reason why paid links are not advised is that, when you get too many inbound links to your website overnight or perhaps over a week, you set on the alarms as this doesn’t seem natural and your website can also get penalized by Google.

Why waste the money to but paid links?

I know its tempting when we see these ads saying ten thousand links for just ten dollars. But the more important thing to consider is whether these thousands of paid links are helping your website or blog to rank better in search engines or increasing your websites Paid Rank or not. The answer to this question would be definitely NO. The importance of one way backlinks which we acquire over a period of time is always more than the paid links which we get overnight. So why don’t we invest these ten dollars for something more useful like PPC to get some quality traffic to our website.

Getting Quality links NOT Quantity is the key.

Getting a dozen of quality inbound links from website relevant to your niche and from the websites with a higher Page rank is far better than just getting a thousand or maybe ten thousand paid links from irrelevant and lower Page rank websites. The user friendly websites with rich, helpful and quality information ranks higher in the eyes of the search engines. So, inbound links from such websites will be telling the search engines that you are a quality website too.

Paid Links: The Grey Line

News of Google going down on paid links and websites selling paid links disappearing from Google’s index has been published all over the Web. Now very soon, Google will step in and take control of the situation so that the webmasters will have to stop buying paid links to get high Page Rank and SERPs. We are really unsure how Google is going to penalize paid links, but have already started seeing that the paid links are not being indexed by Google. It is now time to build quality inbound links. And so, we advice you and ourselves started to build links with Google alerts which helps us build quality backlinks from relevant websites or blogs of higher page rank.

Backlinks can be acquired with just a little knowledge and hard work. In this article, you will read four great link building tips to get as many backlinks as possible within a short period of time which will help your website climb up the rankings and get you more traffic.

Articles

The very first thing I suggest is to start writing articles. Every successful website these days have written at least 30 articles and submitted them to different article directories. Remember not to submit duplicate articles to several directories as Google does not like duplicate content and so, they are not indexed. Adding your link to these articles create a backlink every time you submit an article. And remember these are backlinks which add more value to your website. I recommend to stick to the most popular and higher ranked article directories which will help you get backlinks , ranking and immediate traffic.

Blog Comments

Another way to get backlinks is through blog comments. All you have to do is find blogs of similar niche to yours by using Google blog search, and write comments. You may also build links with Google alerts. Remember to comment by following the discussion as most of the comments have to be approved by the owner before they are posted. Keep in mind that the backlinks are worth more only if they come from a website related to yours. I suggest you to write at least 50 words in the comment and always try and follow the topic. This is the only thing that’s going to differentiate you from a spammer and get you more traffic.

Reciprocal Links

Search engines don’t like the websites that are composed of hundred percent reciprocal links. But having at least thirty percent reciprocal links is a good idea as the search engines look positively on this and believe you are a real webmaster and not a spam bot. And remember to get all you links from related websites. The importance of one way backlinks is more but reciprocal links also get your website a lot of targeted traffic.

Backlink Checkers

You should always use backlink checkers to see what works so good for your successful competitors. Just go to Google and type “backlink checkers”. Then enter your competitors web url and check who links to them. Now you can clearly see where your competitor is getting links from. You can also try and get backlinks from the same websites. As this helps your competitor, it will also do wonders for your website.
