I was wondering how to give someone a backlink to my wordpress website. Do I add a blog post with links to their website? Or do I have to do something else?

Also, If I were to change my wordpress theme, will I lose rank on Google?

Thank you!

  • Do you mean put their link on your site? If so, you can make a post or put it in sidebar or put it on some page - wherever you want, but usually you put in into a post or a page

    If you change your theme your rank usually stays unless you are doing some other big changes with your content on your home page

    • .....have to agree it is better to put it in a post or page rather than say the sidebar and make it a site-wide link.

      You could also ask that person to do an article for you. Ask for an unique article and reward them with a link in the post they write for your site.

      It is called "guest blogging" and I've written an article about it on my blog:

      Also the resource below is great for finding people looking to post to other sites for backlinks:

      It is a great way to get fresh unique content on your site.
  • You can write a post and add their link into post. Or you can add the link into sidebar.

    Changing theme is risky but if you need to change, change it.
  • Doing an in-content backlink is preferable! Especially if you can add the backlink without looking as SPAM! (like you are talking about SEO for example and add a part of the sentence as an anchor text and create a backlink!)
  • It actually depends on what you really want to achieve.

    Is it to recommend or pass link to your friends site?

    Having unrelated link can make your site look spammy.
  • So let's say your target audience is CoD players because you want to start a decent clan, you would find a forum/site for gamers and post a comment with a link to your site and that would be a backlink? Please correct me if I am wrong lol
