I'm not really up to scratch with backlinks.

I know I need them but that's about it.

Anyone feel like giving me the basics of backlinks.

Furthermore, can I create these myself with little to no experience (I know how to update my wordpress website but that's about it) or do I need to engage and pay for any expert.

Also, how to I monitor how the backlinks are working.

I'd really appreciate a basic overview.

    Here are my top "tips" on creaing backlinks.

    1. Look for “Best of” posts as these opportunities come from a 3rd party.

    2. Get bloggers to review your product/service. Offer it to them for free for a review. Again…3rd Party “experts.” Usually these bloggers are not going to give a negative review for someone who gives them a freebie. You will need to search through a series of bloggers to make sure you have identified the right one who is the authority

    3. Blog Aggregators – If you can identify aggregators in your industry, they are an easy way to get quality backlinks. Its usually pretty easy also. Simply submit your site to the aggregator, once they review the site and identify it as a legit site, they will contact you and provide you with a unique page and a follow me link to your site.

    4. Guest postings - although it can be difficult to identify “guest” opportunities as many sites have really tough guest blogger guidelines, if you can find one, it will take on the look and feel of expert testimony. Twitter is a good place to start.

    5. Website Feedback Sites – there are 1000s of sites that can help with positive feedback on your site and its conversion potential, most of them will allow back linking to your site.

    Can you create best backlinks ? you need to spend enough learn about them and how to grab them. You can create backlinks but considering that you need to create relevant content sometimes.

    So for example a video, infographics, or press release go long way if done correctly. you would need to either create them or get someone to do them for you.

    You need to create the correct balance between relevance, and diversified backlinks. so I wouldn't create backlinks for the sake of creating them. It is a time consuming process the more you spend on the learning curve the better

    Thanks, so as I understand it any material on social sites, blogs, forums will automatically be registered as a backlink without any additional code etc? I think I was getting myself confused that something 'extra' needed to be done in the process.

    This is great info thanks for sharing.

  • Okay so this is my personal experience. if you're into like getting automated backlinks, trust me its a BIG NO! if you're planning to do that stop right there, its a low quality backlinks and will harm your website.

    2nd If you're looking for a pro to help you get backlinks, trust me this backlinks does not last for long, it will be gone down the line after 4 months and google hates that! major drop in your search rankings when that happens.

    3rd the sites/ tools which promise you to get backlinks for free! I want to abuse them, cause those links are low quality backlinks and effects your websites google call them spamy backlinks, this could lead to permanent BAN from google search engine (I mean your website)

    The only way to get good quality backlink is try to do guest posting your content in niche website by writing awesome article with your website link in it. Also try helping people in top Forums and dropping your link in it. Use websites like Yahoo answers etc to answer people questions related with your content and by dropping link in it (make sure you do not SPAM your links or you might get kicked out of the forum) so by doing this things will help you get quality backlinks form some good website and backlinks from your niche website is a bonus cause that drives the targeted audience to your website. Also social bookmarking websites is additional point, try making a huge fan following in social media, ask them to share your content links, this could get backlinks automatically. I know this procedure sounds boring and long process, There is no shortcut for success, howeverthe process I told you its productive and useful in near future, remember you need to build your base strong, cause its the survial of the fittest and you don't want to be underdog anymore. So I hope this helps. :-)

    Of course you can. There are many ways to create backlinks such as guest blogging, blog/forum commenting, web directory submissions, networking with other bloggers in your niche etc. But you have to spend some time though. D

    It seems you are new. In this case, I don't talk about low-quality backlinks. I'm talking about high-quality backlinks, to get quality backlink you need much time and effort. In my mind, the best quality backlink is natural backlink from quality sites and of course related your niche.
    What is quality sites? check here: https://www.quicksprout.com/2014/12/...ality-website/
    First of all, thinking about how to produce great contents. Not only useful for your audience, it's must be lovely to share.
    Who are people likely to share your content? they are people in your niche and related your content.
    Next, finding out them and showing them your content. With this ways, you will get quality and natural backlinks faster.

    Thanks everyone - I really do appreciate it.

    I am new here and certainly learning the ropes.

    I have plenty of traditional marketing experience, however, I am trying to broaden my skills in the area of IM and learn more about the ins and outs of it all.

    I will continue to read more and more info about this and I think I will sit down with a friend who is a web developer as well to get some hands on experience of backlinks.

    Everyone talks about them and I just want to make sure I understand them correctly.
