It’s a well known fact in the Internet marketing world that in order to get traffic to your website, you must have a lot of backlinks. Search engines look at the quantity of other sites that link to yours as one of the factors that determines whether or not your site it worthy of visitors. There are other things that factor into the equation, of course, but backlinks are one of the most important. It is rare for a site to rank well in the SERPs if it has very few backlinks. There are a lot of unethical ways that webmasters use to get backlinks, but they should not be used, and can even get sites de-indexed from the search engines. The article below takes a white hat approach to achieving the backlinks you need to get your site noticed.

In your anchor text, use your website name, but not all the time. Some Internet marketing gurus have been doing research since the Penguin update that suggests that the search engines, primarily Google, don’t like it if all of your anchor text is an exact match for your domain name. To them, too much exact-match anchor text appears to be unnatural and suspicious, unless it is your actual brand (i.e your real name). Try and keep your anchor backlinks that use an exact-match keyword to under 50 percent of your total links.

Comment on blogs within your niche. Many blogs will allow you to leave a comment and drop your link after reading a post. If you take this approach, be sure to write something of value. Contribute to the blog by adding a tidbit of information that wasn’t included in the post or explain your reasoning for why something will or won’t work. It’s okay to disagree but you don’t want to be a spammer. Leaving comments of no value on other people’s blogs is called comment spamming, and it will get you nowhere. The owner of the blog will likely just delete your prose, making it a wasted effort.

Those are just a few of the white hat ways that you can glean backlinks from the Internet. Apply them over time, and eventually you’ll have enough links to get you noticed by the big search engines. Keep building backlinks as part of your daily routine, and you’ll start to rise high in the SERPs.
