Hello again, Elam here.

In my past blog posts, I have been stressing on getting backlinks to your website to get your website some exposure. It is very straight forward and simple. This is how I view backlinks. Look at it as a company business card. Let’s say for example, you have opened a courier business. How are your friends who own other businesses going to know or people in your church, synogogue, mosque, or community going to know that you have opened up a courier business and open for them to use if they need a courier? How will they remember your businesses name, phone number, or address and all other contact information? So what would you do so they remember all that information? Well read further to find this out….

You give them your company business card. It is one of the first things new companies do to get some exposure. They print out business cards to hand out to their friends, family, and colleagues so people know that the company exists.

With backlinks it is the same thing. When you have a new website, no one knows that you have a new website. Your community that your trying to target are the search engines. You want to let the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN know that, “hey listen, I have a new website, I want you to get it indexed.” But here’s the problem, if you don’t have any backlinks to your website, then how will the search engine know that your website exists???

That is why, I love backlinks. It is the key to SEO. If anyone asks me about SEO all I say is, “backlinks! backlinks! backlinks!” It is a vital component in making your website’s network grow. If you get a chance, drop in your website’s link somewhere so your website can get recognized and more exposed in the internet world.

Here is the problem though, many people ask me, “Elam, okay I get it, you stress on getting backlinks but where do we get them? How do we get them? Are they free?” The answer to that questions requries some time. You see there are many possibilites on how to obtain backlinks. Are they free? Yes and no. Does it mean that free backlinks are worth less? No. Before we go on further let’s list out how you can backlinks to yourwebsite.

Here are the different types of ways that you can get backlinks:

  1. Link Exchanges
  2. Link Baiting
  3. Providing Quality Content
  4. Posting on forums
  5. RSS Feeds
  6. Submit Articles
  7. Provide a link to me code
  8. Buy Text Links

The list is endless on how to get backlinks to your website and the different ways to obtain it. The reason I listed the above 8 is because every post from now that I make I want to talk about each different way on how to get backlinks. I want to dedicate single posts to every 8 because I feel it is very important to Search Engine Optimization when you are trying to get maximum exposure to your new website which is what you want always!
