By Chase Blanchard


All bloggers are aware of the fact that Backlinks are their greatest treasure and the key to backlinks are guest posting. However, one needs to design smart backlink strategies to generate the maximum benefits from a backlink. One should be aware of the fact that automated backlinks are not beneficial; for example, turning your Google generated traffic to someone else's website. Such methodologies can cost a lot. For successful blogging, the backlink generation strategies are to be followed to the core, only then they are bound to lead to successful backlinks. Here are some of the backlink strategies that really work:

Guest Posting Backlinking

As a guest blogger you are normally entitled a single link (at least) to place within your post and/or body of your post. This should be optimized for any keywords you are targeting for your post. This is called anchor texts where a link to your site is the keyword which you are targeting.

Anchor Text and its importance

Providing anchor texts where ever you can do so is a very useful to your blog. Anchor texts are links that have words within the hyperlink. Therefore if you find a link within a body of a post you know that it is a anchor text for a site. This text can help Google page rank the post better for relevance for certain keyword terms.

* Main Page Links

* Navigation for maps

* Internal Links

* External Links

Guest Posting is one of the most efficient ways to generate backlinks; it is one of the fastest ways to direct traffic to one's own blog, which ultimately will determine the page ranking of one's own blog or site. Another reason why guest post has become so popular is that if a person guest post on a site, and the content is liked by the audience; it leads to a proper communication generation on that blog and more and more users are inclined to comment. Hence, the blog seems pretty active and that is ultimately what every blogger wants. The backlinks tempt the audience to visit the writer's blog. Thus, guest posting is a no loss scenario.

Creating backlinks by commenting on blogs

Commenting on other sites is a great way to achieve backlinks since you can provide your content links within the comment. I recommend doing this however I do not recommend spamming comments all over the internet on nu-related blogs. Instead skim through or read the entire post, encourage others to post below or comment on what you have said and incorporate your own ideas or thoughts in the comment to engage other readers to visit your site as well.

Backlinking with Keywords

Placing a link with specific keywords is essential to building quality backlinks to your blog. It will help Google rank your site accordingly with the anchor text we already mentioned. Keywords within these texts are very important in the ranking your site will receive from search engines because search engines look for relevant keywords related to your site.

Backlink Building With Plugins

An efficient way of building fast backlinks is by registering and commenting on valuable plugins. These sites usually promote backlinks.

Creating Backlinks by posting on active top ranking forums

There are so many active forums on the internet today. From gardening to creating a passive income online, I am sure there is a place for your niche site as well to place you link in your signature once signing up with the forum. I recommend placing quality posts within the forum to attract others to view your site.

Backlink building through Web 2.0 sites

The web 2.0 sites allow generating content for users. One needs to refer to this site for backlinks when one feels that he/she needs traffic for a keyword which is facing more competition, and one does not have sufficient backlinks. The site also facilitates one user to communicate with another through comment boxes. For example, Squidoo or Hub pages are reliable sites for content posting and are considered good sites by Google. The blogger can get the extra trust factor which is required for posting on these sites. The best part is that these sites are free. The sites also have simplified working, not too complex to understand.

Outsourcing Backlink Building

I recommend doing your own backlinking however, if you are interested in outsourcing your backlinks to various companies you should consider elance and odesk.

Look For Niche Backlinks

Find related niches as well as your own niche to try and generate backlinks through commenting, guest posting or other means.

Refrain from automatic backlinks

One should refrain from using automatic backlinks. In spite of the fact that there are many softwares on the internet that offer automatic backlinks; it is not an advisable method of creating backlinks.

The listed strategies for backlinking really do work. Adopting and encorporating them into your own strategy can help build backlinks and page rank through smart SEO. However to understand how backlinking works I highly recommend researching how and what SEO can do for you and your blog is vital. I hope this article helps you build a better blog!
