    You're making backlinks far more complicated then they really are.
    • Get backlinks from anywhere you can
    • Get as many as you can
    • Try to get your anchor text to match the keywords you want to rank for

      Sorry but that's BAD advice......

      You could waste months getting irrelevant, worthless backlinks that make the same difference 4 good links could've made.

      Links are not all equal and you can save yourself a LOT of time and trouble by knowing what you're doing.

    dksnyder2002 - Hmm, I think you should always read a LOT when it comes to links before deciding what you think is good or bad advice.

    A lot of people swear that relevant links help more for example, but many others can find absolutely no evidence for a relevance carrying any perceivable benefit during substantial testing.

    The main thing to bear in mind, your over-riding concern should be to have a natural-looking link profile. Meaning, if Google looked at all links to your site, they would say "move along, nothing to see here", rather than "hey, this looks a bit suspicious, no nofollowed links?" for example.

    And my take is that a natural link profile should always contain "irrelevant" links to some degree.

    It's fine if you want to shoot down what I said but then give some good advice.

    Here is a site that has done essentially what I suggested...

    **** berry - How Losing 30 Pounds in 30 days Is Possible with **** Berry: GoArticles.com

    and they are #2 for the keyword "**** Berry" by essentially spamming blogs.

    It's a classic example of un-relevant and for the most part what would be considered worthless backlinks yet they are sitting pretty for a popular keyword.

    Backlinks are not that complicated. It's not a secret black art that takes a super guru SEO to understand. If it does then I guess I'm a super guru SEO because I have no problem ranking a site for a keyword following exactly what I've suggested.

    but lets expand the list....
    • Get backlinks from anywhere you can
    • Get as many as you can
    • Try to get your anchor text to match the keywords you want to rank for
    • Try to get backlinks on pages that have PR
    • Try to get backlinks that are on higher PR domains
    • Try not to get 'nofollow' backlinks
    • Try to get backlinks on pages with a low number of outbound links
    • Backlinks on a page that is relevant to yours might help
    Too many SEO's and Guru's try to make everything far more complicated then it needs to be... generally with the intention selling something.

    What I've laid out are the basics and are enough to get anybody on the road to ranking a site for a keyword.
