Yes, any website linking back to you is a backlinks. Link directories and articles are the most common ways to do link building. The key to long-term success however is making a site people will want to link to themselves.

Yeah Free directory link is backlink but best quality backlink is quality backlinks coming from quality related sites. Natural linking like quality contents and related links is the best quality backlinks

It is important to put a lot of effort into linkiing

Aside from direcotries, try to get some blog posts on appropriate blogs and look for some higher ranking sites. A lot of PR0 sites will get you links, but a lot of PR3,4,5 will get you much better links and thereby better visibilty

Yes, some solid advice so far. Good job! If you have $5/month to spare, I highly recommend getting Angela Edwards' great backlinks WSO. Just go to the Warrior Special Offers section of this forum and search for Angela Edwards backlinks. You get 30 new places to post a link to your site every month. They are all on sites with good PR (usually 4 or higher). It's a steal at $5/month. And I have no affiliation with it, in case you're wondering. I just really like what she offers. Those links work, bottom line.

There are so many places to get back links, more than we could do on our own. Directories, blogs, social bookmarking sites, rss directories, ect, ect.

Best way to start might be to search your niche in the search engines and follow the links.

You could also pay people to build back links for you.

I signed up with Angela Edwards' backlinks. Its a great deal for webmasters. All are high pagerank links and the service saves a lot of time for other link building. I got a PR 7 and a PR10 link in the first months link package. The PR 7 link put me on a PR 2 page. I would recomend this to back link service any one. Well worth the 5 bucks.

Try to post on sites that will be around for a while. This creates a long lived backlink, and those are better than most free directories.

Buying backlinks are a great short term solution, but when you stop paying for backlinks Google notices, it thinks the quality of your site has dropped so it reflects that in the rank it gives you.

Well you can get some backlinks from yahoo answers and twitter as well. Make sure to use those two.

What do you think about post comment on a blogs?

register yourself with all those blog directory - and then test your site with www.alexa.com to check wether the backlink is working

As we all know there are many ways to bring traffic to a website... I can also say using a Free Directory is one of the best way to bring traffic to a website...

I just wanted to share a few tips that i thought are must for SEO/Link Building

1) Blog comments > Very highly recommended... One has to realise first that he.she has to post comments only in Do-Follow blogs and not No-follow
Getting links in No-follow will help you get traffic but will not help you get any link

2) Forum Posting > Please make sure you dont spam any forum, you will get quality links from quality forums only if you dont spam and actually contribute...
Go to google and search for your niche + forums and try and find the best forums... make useful threads and place your links in your signature..

3) Social Bookmarking> The lates and the best way to get high PR links.. just search the net for social sites and you will find tons of list.. now you will want to post to all of them ... OR what i use is onlywire that will reduce your work and help you automate the process...

4)EDU links > Very effective and very difficult to get, so try and get these from your friends or if you know someone in your family

5) Flickr and Youtube > ie Images and Videos , these can get you some serious traffic and can get you some quality backlinks...

Also i forgot to mention make sure you always use your anchor text as your keyword and post your website link in the URL section...

Thanks

I am looking for more .edu links these days. Heard that .edu really good for back linking.

Backlinks is the most important to get free traffic from google. There are various ways to get backlinks such as social bookmarking, articles on blogs, RSS newfeeds...
Volumes of traffic will increase in your blog or RSS directories from blog comments
Once posting forums, the most important thing to remember that how to make avoid spamming forums. You try to build quality backlinks and rich contents

well, if you know how to write wp themes, create a solid wp theme & give it away free. You'll get thousands of backlinks.

Firstly getting backlinks is not too easy job. you need dedication and patience to build backlinks. yes getting backlinks through diretories is easy but its not easy to get them from blogs, forums, ..

be patient and plan on spending a lot of time building them. Also be prepared for the nofollow game, ie Webmasters trying to sneak nofollow code or similar things overnight.

Free aproved directory listing is a back link .. social bookmarking also creates a lots of backlinks to your website

I too recommend Angela's service as it does work. Of course, you can just do a search for Do Follow Blogs + keywords and go that route as well.

Don't forget to mention Paul, Steve, Me and many other WSO backlinks collection!

Blog and forum comment is the easiest way to gain link, just download comment kahuna and start finding niche related comments...

Well if you are looking forward to have real quick backlinks the you must target the following sources:

• Forum Participation: You can target good dofollow forums which allow you with Signature links. Forums is one of the quickest modes to get backlinks to your site.
• Article & Press Release Submissions: Article Directories and Press Relase Sites are frequently crawled by Search engines and so there are high chnaces for your links to be added to your backlinks as well.
• Social Bookmarking: is another good way to get quick backlinks for your site.
• Blog Comments: Simply comment on blogs in your niche to gain the relevancy advantage. Once you have placed your comment with link in the blog post simply ping the blog.

Directory submission is good for backlinks but try to do theme based directory submission and also do submission work manually.
Backlinks:
Article submission
Directory submission
blog commenting
forum posting
join community (facebook etc)
social bookmarking
add your company profile
Join groups.

Or maybe, you want to try freetrafficsystem as it does provide a great value-added linking system.

Any one can exchange your link with me..........i have my cricket niche.....

Look around for some high Page Rank sites that will allow you to leave a link to your text.The page you place your link might not be a high PR page but from what i have heard,this done not make a difference.

Directories are not that great for Google. Google sees them as link farms most of the time. You can however find lots of good free links on this forum.

Another good one is Google Profiles

I've had a good amount of success with being a "expert' on yahoo answers. Give good quality answers and backlinks will come

Yeah. Yahoo! Answers is a great source of backlinks.

I am still not very good at bookmarking, there must be some tricks in making it work better.

Only long tail keywords article seems to work best with it, but they don't rank for long, it will lose the rank power very fast..

Anyone know / have experience on how to leverage bookmarking for more link juice or rank power?

[DELETED]

I doubt that one forum would do much good...

[DELETED]

I'm using angelas and pauls backlinks, they seem to work good so far.

Get dofollow links by social book marking sites, blog commenting etc

Directory submission and article submission with unique content is the way to create quality backlink.

I still vote for one way profile backlinks - Angela's backlinks!

Social bookmarking is one. Its one of way of creating back links easily.

i do all but backlink of my site is not increased

Easy? Buying packets yes. Article sites yes.

Natural and easy? Wordpress themes. Buy them. Make them. Submit them to directories and watch the backlinks come rolling in.

I've tried to share that with people but they don't seem to get it. Maybe it's just not direct enough but it works.
