Backlinks are one of the most important factors when it comes to successful SEO. To get this started let’s make a simple description of what bancklinks are, then we will move on to discuss their importance, and finally we will point out some great sources, techniques and tools to get high quality free backlinks.

What are Backlinks?

Backlinks are the outbound links that are pointing to your site (blog/website), also known as incoming links. Whenever the URL of your site is pasted in another website or blog you have a backlink, usually backlinks are placed with a html code which enables to create a links that has a keyword or a keyphrase this is called a “hyperlink”. The text on your link is called the anchor text of your backlink, and it is very important because if your keywords are placed as the anchor text of your URL your site will rank higher in the search engines for that particular keyword, it will also improve your site’s ranking overall. The more backlinks you have with a whole different set of keywords that relate to your topic the better, you know the synonyms of your main keyword because your will rank for a lot of keywords that will bring traffic to your site from the search engines, allowing you to receive much more traffic since you rank for many keywords that have traffic.

There are two type of backlinks, Nofollow and dofollow links. Nofollow and dofollow is a html tag which is inserted in the html code of the hyperlink to allow the flow or prevent the flow of PR towards a site. Sites that give out nofollow links are not good for our SEO because Google will not give this links any value, although other search engines do not care about dofollow or nofollow, this is primarly a Google thing, but as you know it is something very important because Google handles almost all of the search engine traffic. So for some good SEO we need dofollow links, in future articles I will teach you how to identify nofollow and dofollow sites by using tools that are easy to use and free.

The Importance of Getting Backlinks?

As I told you in the last paragraph, the more backlinks you have the more traffic you will get from the search engines because you will rank higher for many related keywords to your main keyword, if your topic/niche/market is very competed and has a lot of traffic, your related keywords will bring three times more traffic if you get to rank for them as well, this means that you will make more money.

Another important factor about backlinks is that they will increase the PR of your website or blog. The PR of a site is  a grade given by Google to determine the importance of a site, the higher your PR the easier you will get to rank for the keywords that you choose. If you choose to compete against sites that have high PR you are probably doomed, unless you improve the Page Rank of your site. If you improve the PR of your site a lot then you will be able to highly rank for very competed keywords. How do you improve the page rank of your site? Backlinks!!

What Kind of Backlinks Does Your Site Need?

The best kind of backlinks for your site are those coming from websites, posts or articles which are in the same niche/topic/market as yours. The higher the page rank (PR) from the sites giving you backlinks the better optimized your site will be for the search engines, and you will improve as well they page rank of your website or blog.

The best backlinks are the ones from sites, posts, articles, etc. that are in the same niche as you are, but any backlink counts, and they are all welcomed.

Where to Get Backlinks For Free?

There are many ways to get backlinks for free for your site. I will list them to make it easier for the people reading this blog.

Ways to Get Free Backlinks :

- Comment on blogs that have the same niche/topic as you and that provide dofollow backlinks, when you visit one of these blogs contribute with something useful by leaving a smart comment, and leave a hypertext link pointing to your site with the keyword you want to rank for.

- Post on forums :  same formula as posting comments for blogs, except that most of the times you will have to leave the backlink in your signature box which is edited in your profile page for the forum that you choose to join. At the end of this article I will provide you a link which has a list of 144 dofollow high PR forums.

- Write articles for article directories like eazinarticles.com, goarticles.com, etc. These sites let you create backlinks if you write articles for them, some  will allow you to create backlinks within theh content, other article directories will only allow you to leave links pointing to your site in the signature box, it doesn’t matter they work as well as content links too, and they are do follow, if you choose a dofollow article directory, because some are nofollow.

- Submit articles from you blog or website to blog carnivals at blogcarnivals.com, submit your article to as many blog carnivals related to your topic as you can, and if they get featured on the carnival you will receive a backlinks for free.

- Submit your site to social bookmarking sites that have high page rank and that provide do follow backlinks, submit great articles from your blog or website to these websites as well. Some examples are Digg, Propeller, Reddit, etc.

- Submit your site to web directories for more backlinks, one way backlinks. A good example is the Dmoz.org open directory listing, but it is the hardest one to get.

- Exchange links with people that have blogs or websites related to your topic or niche, you can exchange links that are within the content, you can create blogrolls, you can trade articles for backlinks, etc. This type of links are also very important, but they can’t be excessive because you will get penalyzed by Google and probably by other search engines.

- Create backlinks by creating free blogger blogs, free squidoo lenses, free hubs at hubpages, articles at Google Knol, and just create as many mini sites as you can from sources that allow you to create free web pages, websites or blogs.

- There is a free way to create high quality backlinks that I want to recommend, the free traffic system (FTS), is the best way to create one way high quality backlinks to your site, because it is not spammy at all, you have to create quality content to receive your links, so your links are placed in blog posts that have great content and that are in the same niche or topic as your site. I won’t even place a referral link, but I do want to make it easy for your, so head yourself to www.freetrafficsystem.com, join, and start creating posts for your high quality backlinks which are free by the way. It is a very effective system to create great backlinks, and it is not a black hat technique because as I told you they are produced by great content which you have created. They are just rewarding you with a couple of backlinks for the great content that you created. 

 Why are backlinks so important? Because they will get you to the first page of your chosen keywords, they will get you there and you will get a lot of traffic, and search engine traffic makes money, and it is the best most important traffic that you should try to get, also known as organic traffic, this traffic is the kind of traffic that makes money. People coming to your site directly from search engines are more likely to click on ads, complete CPA offers, or buy products and services, be it affiliate products or your own products or services, so this is the traffic that you want to focus on if you really want to make money online.
