Link building is the major secret to high rankings and it is also one of the most effective aspects of SEO. Below are some effective link building methods to help you achieve high search engine rankings.

Although this a guest post, I, Ben Lang, would like to apologize and explain why there have been no new posts for a full week. I haven’t had power at home for 5 days which delayed my blogging and school work. So sorry!

Blog Commenting

Commenting! Commenting! Commenting! Just comment, try to visit as many dofollow blogs as possible, make valuable comments and your link will stay. While blog commenting is a link building method, it is also very important to know that most major search engines do not regard nofollow links as links, in fact nofollow links don’t pass Page Rank and they also have no effect on anchor texts so if you only want backlinks then comment on dofollow blogs only.

Forum Backlinks

There are many ways to gain relevant backlinks from forums, but the best option is to give a freebie because many posts in forums linking to another website that is not a freebie might eventually get deleted. Try to give value on the forum, give lots of freebies and also have a lot of friends and only post valuable content relevant to your website. It is also very important not to post links to your site only because this makes you look like a spammer but try to post link to so many other valuable content on the web. It is also important not to neglect your forum signature, try to use them effectively; don’t put too much unrelated links.

Article Submission

Write quality articles and submit them to article directories, but when doing, this the advice I will give you is that don’t try to submit to all article directories because most of them are nofollow and most of them even don’t allow usage of anchor texts. Try to look for quality article directories that are dofollow and allow anchor texts most especially in the middle of the article, and also, don’t try to spam them.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking site is the future of the web, and whether you like it now social bookmarking sites will have large influence on the web. Try to use social bookmarking sites effectively, submit your posts regularly, have as many friends as possible and you will begin to see results. Social bookmarking sites also helps your website indexed quickly; it can help your website indexed in less than 24 hours if properly done.

Guest Posting

Like I am doing now, try to guest post for so many bloggers. Guest blogging has lots of flexibilities, aside it bringing direct traffic from the bloggers website, it also avails you the ability to use the anchor text of your choice. Guest posting is also very important because many of the bloggers you guest post for have high pagerank sites and sooner or later your post to will have high pagerank which will eventually flow to your site. Also note that when guest posting you have to write valuable content and don’t overload your website with links because many bloggers (like me) will not accept rubbish on their blogs.

The above are 5 great tips for building backlinks to your website; try to utilize them effectively and the results will be awesome.

    Five pretty good ways to get backlinks. I had no idea that dofollow links don’t pass any page rank. That kind of explains some stuff. Thanks for the info. Btw guest posting is my favorite.

    I like the first three a lot… especially blog commenting. I’ve been working on the last two a bit more of late, especially the last one. :)

    article posting has been my most effective link building

    FYI – do not disregard no follow altogether. Even though they don’t pass much juice, Google DOES index them. (Matt Cutts has said no follow links do pass 1 point of juice, whatever that means.)

    In fact, you should have a healthy combo of do and no follow to make things look more natural.

    Great tips, I agree on all of them. But for article submission, I do not like them for the reason you have listed. The other ways work great and there really isn’t a reason to spend the time on it.

    As for DoFollow, I you may not get the page rank, but you still can get traffic from them. If you comment on high traffic sites, and leave good comments you will get traffic back to your site.

    If you have a keyword rich domain and have work on the look of your site, CSS Galleries can also be a great way to get links and readers… even more so, if your site is about web design or seo/internet marketing.

    I think blog commenting is the best and easy way for backlinks building. I love to read others article and leave comment. I also agree that Guest Posting is another good way to create a quality backlink. At the same time, we can promote us to others to gain more exposure.

    I think that the best ways to build backlinks are the comments people leave on the blogs and on the forums. When i will be famous i will use the guest posting!! :D

  19. Fazreen Reply Mar. 29, 2010 at 7:02 am

    I still believe nofollow links pass the pageranks

  20. Richard Riley Reply Mar. 29, 2010 at 7:33 am

    Like all the other commentors above, I think that leaving comments on a post is a very good way of getting backlinks. I find; however, that if I write valuable comments then other people looking at the blog post are more likely to follow the link to my website to try to find out more about it. I guess people are just naturally curious that way. I would have preferred, though, if you gave some examples of good article directories we could submit to instead of just saying to submit to ‘quality’ article directories that allow dofollow links. I assume this would be ezinearticles.com, etc.? I think we could have gotten more value from this post if there were specific examples of where to submit just to avoid confusion.

    However, good article! All of these points are (in my extremely short experience) very valuable and very worth while to do. Thanks!

    All 5 techniques are great, but not so time-friendly, if you are trying to juggle everything from product creation to blog promotion alone. Usually I just outsource these tasks, but if i don’t want to pay cash for these services, I usually just barter my services for the ones i need.

  23. Bit Doze Reply May. 09, 2010 at 12:21 pm

    Thanks for sharing this I know some of the ways but not all of them I will try the guest posting because I didn’t try it until now.

    This is really a great backlinks building method. We don’t need to fancy where it is difficult to perform.

    I often do blog commenting because I love doing blog hopping and guest posting is my second method.

    Thanks for sharing it.

    for the articles, I normally just use article trader. I pay them about $14 and they submit them for me. They say they submit it to like 300-400 sites. I stopped checking but I used to get a hundred links within a week. I don’t do that often but I get tired of submitting articles to directories. Some of them I will only submit 1, for example if I write a good one I will just send it to ezine.

    Good and informative piece, Onibalisi! Link building is really important to the growth of any blog. I’ve been trying my best with blog commenting. Forum backlinks, social bookmarking and guest posting are the ones I need to take serious now.

    By the way, is there a way to differentiate a nofollow blog from a dofollow blog?

    Cheers!
