Backlinks For Your Web Site - 5 Ways to Get It

By Sonali Sengupta

Analyze the data of your competitors: Find out who links to your competitors and why. In case these sites have a place where you can submit your own site, do so. Otherwise, ask them to list you or pay for the ad spot, whichever seems suitable.

Send email: You can contact the webmasters directly via emails. First of all, do some research using the relevant keywords, allinanchor:, site: etc. to prepare a a master list of those relevant sites that you wish to contact. Next, send email to the contact person asking them to link back your site while explaining how your site could benefit them. Remember to offer possible reviews or exchange to these people in order to get a backlink from their site.

Ebay blog: You can post a promotional content of your web site at ebay blogs to bring in more visitors.

Comments on blogs, articles and forums: Do some research using the search engines to find notable blogs, articles and forums with good page ranks that are relevant to what you have to offer via your web site. Your next step will be to post comments on these places and thereby get outbound links from these sites to yours. This is one of the cheaper ways of link acquisition.

Article submission and syndication: You can submit articles to some major article directory sites. Once your article goes live, your web site will automatically get a back link. A better way, however, is article syndication. There are some industry publications where articles are published regularly. Many sites pick up the RSS feeds of these publications. If you can offer the editor of such a publication some quality articles, you may stand a better chance of multiple backlinks.
