How to gain backlinks?

[Sumit Menon]

Hey,

If I were to start a Squidoo Lens, I guess backlinks would be the best shot to promote it.

But, how do I gain them?

The only way I can think of is Article Directories. But, then which directories? I know Ezinearticles wouldn't allow it without a domain.

Thanks.
Sumit.

Hi
For a start you have a signature on this forum. Imagine how many other forums allow this. There are also blog entries that you can do. Bookmark your pages and finally go to the WSO section and look for angelas backlinks package. $5 and you will get 30 high quality ones

Backlinks can come from almost any page on the web.

I'd recommend you grab Angela and Paul's monthly backlink packages and manually build the backlinks (or outsource). In those packages, you'll get a list of sites where you can leave your backlink in lieu of a comment, maybe an article etc.

Best of luck bud!

lol... I'm yet to make my first dollar online.

But, does WF allow direct linking to Squidoo Lenses?

Are you serious?

You've been a member here since August and you have no idea how to get links?

Use the forum search function - I've posted hundreds of ways and places to get links and traffic here many times in the past.

Here are a few that just relate to blogging:

1.) Create at least four keyword posts per day. Most of the top
blogs such as Boing Boing, Daily Kos, and Instapundit (with
literally tens of thousands of visitors per day) publish an
average of 30 small 100-150 word posts per day according to
“Secrets of the A-list Bloggers: Lots of Short Posts” by TNL.net
2.) Submit to My Yahoo! When you submit your own RSS to My Yahoo
it is indexed by Yahoo.
3.) Submit to Google’s Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS
to Google’s Reader the Google Blog Search will index your site.
4.) Add a relevant link directory to your blog and trade links
like a demon possessed! Although it may take more time than
simply submitting to a search engine one time, this method is
perhaps the best way to drive traffic to your site. Use software
such as Zeus to speed up the link trading process.
5.) Use ping sites like ping-o-matic. Ping your site every time
you add a new post.
6.) Submit your blog to traditional search engines such as
AltaVista, and MSN.
7.) Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ.
Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google.
DMOZ is very picky, but what do you have to lose by trying?
8.) Submit to as many RSS Directories and Search Engines as
possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be
done with software such as RSS SUBMIT.
9.) Comment on other blogs. Do not just leave short, lazy
comments like “I agree.” Leave well thought out replies that will
force readers to wonder “who wrote this?”
10.) Use track backs. If there is a blog that you refer to or
quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track
back. It increases your link popularity and may even score a few
interested readers from the linked site.
11.) Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards,
business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible
know your blog exists.
12.) Ad a link to your blog in your e-mail signature block.
13.) Use Groups (Usenet). Find a relevant group on Google groups,
Yahoo groups, MSN groups or any of the thousands of other FREE
group services and find like minded people and talk with them.
Make sure your use your blog URL like it is your name.
14.) Use Forums. Forums are one of the best places to go for
advice. Go to forums and find problems to solve. Make sure you
leave your blog name, but be tactful about it; some forums get
annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own
site and leave.
15.) Tag your website. Tagging is a new idea that has erupted
across the web. Sites like Del.icio.us, Technorati and many
others have a social feature that allows you to place your
article under keywords or “tags” that everyone interested in that
tag can see.
Although these are some of the most popular ways to drive traffic
to your blog, do not limit your self to tips and lists. Use your
imagination and you will come up with thousands of ways to drive
traffic to your blog!

You can link from EZA to a Squidoo lens. Ezine articles will not allow you to link directly to an affiliate program but you can link to a site like Squidoo, Hub Pages, Blogger, etc without any problems.

As for backlinking techniques, if you use the search function of this forum you'll find enough ideas to keep you busy for a long time.

Rss feeds, social bookmarking, blog commenting, article submissions, using other web 2.0 properties etc. There are also link building services you can buy like linkvana, 1waylinks, myarticlenetwork.com etc.

Spend a little time searching this forum and you'll find more methods than you have time to implement.

Good day to you,

Backlinks are an important part of website 'position building' , and as some one has already said, you have the benefit of your signature on this, and other forums.

In addition, please note that your entry remains live indefinately.

In addition to this, you can start a blog, which is also a high search engine traffic generator, if your content is good, and updated regularly.

I would like to point out that for a blog to be rated highly, it must be uopdated regularly.

Wordpress will let you start a blog on their domain, but it is much better to start one on your own, and any decent host will have softweare on their control panel to allow you to set yourt blog up automatically with wordpress.

Then, after choosing a theme, and blog idea, you're on your way.

Further, promoting your lens by blogs is a great idea to build your relevance and links.

1. Social Bookmarking
2. Article Directories-there are plenty besides EzineArticles.
3. Blogging
4. Forums

Get to Work!
