A backlink is a one-way link from another website, blog or any other online services that can be indexed and found by the search engines, pointing back to your own website or blog. SEO Chat has an elaborate article on that particular topic, you can read it by clicking here. Use anchor keywords when you add the back-links, i.e.: How to Make Fluffy Clouds, with “How to Make Fluffy Clouds” being the anchor keyword. The more back-links you add to different websites and blogs with a PR (Page Rank) of 0 to 9 the higher your keyword (“How to Make Fluffy Clouds”) will climb in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

I am currently trying out different ways to create new back-links. Have a look at Free Traffic System. FTS is pretty easy to use and offers many tutorial videos to help you get started. Submit articles to FTS and add your back-links in the articles. You can then choose up to 30 other WordPress blogs to submit your article with your back-links to.

When re-writing PLR articles, you will want to give it a proper spin! Use Easy Article Rewriter for re-writing the articles, and also have a look at Power Article Rewriter, which is a highly efficient tool for re-writing and spinning articles. It shows how unique the article is, and you can spin up to 1,000 different versions of the article with the click of a button. Power Article Rewriter is not freeware, but you can get it for $35 or probably even less, with the right offer, and it is considered one of the best re-writing tools.

Another way to add back-links to your website is by adding your links in forum signatures. For more traffic, build a reputation as a supportive forum member, and other forum users will click your signature links more often. Just make sure affiliate links are allowed in forum signatures before you add it, something which is usually not a problem in marketing forums either way.

Write your own or use free e-books that comes with MRR (Master Resell Rights) and rebranding rights. Replace the affiliate links in them with your own links. This is a great way to spread your links virally by simply giving away e-books for free. Give the e-book away as a reward when people subscribe to your opt-in list, and you have both free traffic and a list.

If you add a few back-links every day and are consistent with it, the search engines will notice your links and give them more attention eventually. For quick results, submit (unique) articles to GoArticles. They can rank #1-3 in a few days, although they won’t last long in those positions without some back-links to strengthen their positions. Free services like Free Traffic System and Contextual Partnership makes this easier to maintain.

SEO Chat is nice for such information, as is SEO Book, which also offers some pretty good SEO tools at no cost. Building back-links is not difficult, only a bit time-consuming, but you can always outsource it as well in places like Warrior Forum. Check my review on Angelas Backlinks. I still use it and consider it a great timesaver at only $5 per month, with the first month being free for Warrior Forum members (free membership), and I recommend trying it at least for the first, free month
