Backlinks are a primary part of affiliate marketing, and if you are not doing all you can to add to them, you will struggle to obtain traffic to your website. A backlink is a link pointing back to your website from a different website. You need to be doing something every day to add to your backlinks in order to boost your website rankings, so underneath I have laid out seven ways of getting free backlinks, plus two paid ways.

Free Backlinks

1. Article marketing. If you are checking out this article on an article ezine, you will observe a resource box at the base. This holds links to my websites. If you can write articles twice a week or more, and submit them to many directories, you will add to your backlinks quickly.

2. Blogging. Setting up a blog is free and it’s fun. Every time you post, give a link to your website and after that submit it to social bookmarking sites. This will get you several valuable backlinks to your blog and to your site every time you post. Search engines love blogs so do this as much as possible.

3. Blog Commenting. Look for other individuals’s blogs and post useful comments. This is only valid if you post in blogs that permit links back to your site. Also, do correctly read the post and make authentic comments, otherwise you could be accused of spamming.

4. Forums. Spend time in on the internet forums that are relevant to your business, and make sure you have a signature that has a hyperlinked keyword phrase to your website. Most forums posts stay on the internet for a extensive time so this can give you backlinks for a long time. Of course, it’s imperative that you get correctly involved in forums, providing useful data and asking authentic questions. Spammers are marked very fast and you could be disqualified if you just use them purely for the backlinks.

5. Link exchange. Ask other website owners if you can exchange links, by giving a link to their website on yours and vice versa. This is known as reciprocal linking, which is not as powerful as one-way linking, but is still worth while, particularly if your link partner has a high page rank.

6. Press releases. Drive out a press release every time you provide a new product or service, or have some interesting news. Press releases have links to your website that can create traffic immediately and in future.

7. Write Testimonials. If you enter a company that has just launched, and are asked to write a testimonial, do it. These will be used in their sales pages and stay around for a long time, giving you valuable traffic. Whenever you get the chance, offer to write testimonials for other people in exchange for a backlink.

Paid for backlinks

1. Purchase Ezine Ads. If you buy marketing in on the internet ezines you will get a backlink to your site. Buying multiple ads will save cash and time because you will only need one acquisition to be in several ezines.

2. Purchase ads on blogs. You can offer to pay for a text link on somebody else’s blog, and if they have a frequent readership this can give you huge contact for your website as well as increased backlinks.

The above ideas are the most well known ways to receive backlinks, but you ought to continuously use your head to get as many free backlinks as you can (legitimately of course). If you do this regularly you will find your website rankings just keep moving up.
