Tips for getting quality backlinks

Getting many quality backlinks can take a very long time and many people don’t have the patience or time to wait. There are many ways of building backlinks including forum posting, blog commenting, guest posting and social bookmarking. However, the problem with such methods is that it reduces the time that you spend on your site or with your readers.

The good news is that there are ways of building links on autopilot which only require minimal work upfront.

Yahoo Answers

Though Yahoo Answers is a no-follow site, there is software called WP Robot which can be placed on your blog and used to pull answers off Yahoo and put them on your site. All you need to do is to offer answers to questions with a descriptive title like, ‘How can I lose weight fast?’ or ‘How can I make money online?’ The reason why you should answer questions in major niches such as insurance, making money online, or weight loss is that you will have many people visiting Yahoo Answers for such answers.

Build a multiple series list

There are several reasons for creating a multiple series list. First, readers can follow better using lists, since they are easier to scan and thus make learning less complicated. Secondly, people love to link to lists. Having more lists will result in more backlinks. This is a technique I have used often for my blog which offers ediet coupons and weight watchers discounts.

Add information to Wikipedia

Wikipedia is the largest online encyclopedia, with more than 3 million articles published in the English language. Finding an article to edit is therefore very easy. So how does it work? You first need to identify a page which could use some editing, preferably one that doesn’t have much content. Once you identify the Wikipedia page which you wish to edit, you need to ensure that you have a relevant page on your website which you can link to.

Exchange content for site links

Site owners need more content to publish on their sites or to submit to various article directories. Therefore, you can offer to write articles for site owners in exchange for one or two links on their site.

Give away gifts

A great way of building backlinks is to give away a gift. For instance, you could offer a $20 voucher for Amazon.com. Since everyone wants the free gift, you can tell your readers to link to your site so as to be entered into a draw for the gift.
