How to get free backlinks
Sorry a bit of repetition here!
According to Google, back links are votes given by other sites to you.
According to me, in the SEO process, getting these votes is the best SEO practice known so far.
One question that nags everyone is – How to get back links?
The answer is simple – Think about how to improve the contents on your site rather than torture your head thinking of links.
Because, once you have great content on your site, then it’s basic human psychology that people want to get associated with it – so they link.
- The above piece of information can be found on almost all SEO related websites and I’m sure is nothing new to you.
Now what decides what’s a great content? Or what content will attract more links? Here are a few tips from my experience.
- Be Innovative
Let it be such that the readers will think – “Damn! Why didn’t i think of it earlier?”
Which means that the content should be simple and related to the topics everyone knows, but in a way that they would’ve never thought of. It’s not easy to think of something like that every other day.But if you can manage to squeeze in at least a few every week, that should do the trick.
Some famous examples would be – When john Chow released the Link bait posts. - Be the first to report.
This one’s easier if you are a techie and watch blogs/news sites closely. All you have to do is report a sensational news the very first time.It is very tricky – because sometimes the news is so common and popular that, when you post it, millions would have posted it on the other end. So you have to find some tweak to get the best news the first time. A very effective method is to religiously read all the news blogs by grabbing their RSS feeds on your favorite RSS News reader.
- Review with a twist.
Suppose there is a lovely piece of software you love using. And you thought, why not do a review on it. But you have seen 143 reviews on various blogs on the same software.
So what do you do? Collect data from all those blogs and see what are the common points in them, then since you are very familiar with the software, it’s more likely that you’ll find something all of them have missed. Trust me, I’ve had similar experiences.
- Write the content with user participation
It wouldn’t make any sense if you just write excellent articles explaining about the technical wizardry you have or the super piece of code you developed, if a reader does not enjoy it. It’s more like watching TV – you prefer a reality show to a News channel(at least many of us). So write articles that will participate users, or at least strike their thinking pattern and provoke them to write about it on their blog. It works if you hit the right note!
More ideas will continue the next week.. 
Hi
I would like to know how to add good content to a auction site, every one just add there products. What can I use to get content there will help for SEO. Thanks
Hi Jakes, for an auction site which largely deals with product descriptions, there is very little as compared to other sites, content that can be added. But from what I’ve done earlier (for a client which dealt with IP telephones) I found that the product description itself is a good place to write good seo friendly content. the technical specs may be something that you can ignore. But in the product description, you can really do a lot by maintaining good keyword density and redrafting content. It is easier as you are likely to have focussed keywords. One thing to note is that, you shouldn’t copy content from other sites. For one of my clients who complained of google not indexing his content rich pages (millions of them), i found that we got an almost 100% bounce back, when we redrafted the content and added a rich interlinking pattern. In fact all the content that he already had was copied and would only count as duplicate content.
So things are going to be easy if you create unique content redrafted around your particular keywords and follow a rich interlinking pattern. Having said that, this is again a case to case thing. So you may have to take deviations.

Thanks Mani.
Can you please answer this question?
I have many ( thousands) of backlinks in yahoo but very few in google. Am i doing something wrong? What could be causing this? Doesn’t google see these backlinks?
Brit, this is because of the difference in the thinking patterns of Google and Yahoo!
Yahoo collects all the links including the no follow ones (comments/forums etc) as your backlinks while Google ignores them and collects only the contextual text links from other sites. (dofollow ones)
Hope that clears it.
I have read so many things about backlinks but i am still having trouble with it. Is is true that Google looks at how many backlinks you have when they are doing Page Rank updates?
http://www.emo4myspace.com
The most difficult thing for me is that without backlinks, you are not being found. So poeple don’t read it, and don’t link to you. Starting a new website is a hassle. Never to mention about the time it takes for a domain to be respected by google.
Hi, I was wondering if there was a service that backlinks your site to different sites for you. This would save a lot of time and energy.
Thanks In Advance.

Lots of useful tips on here. thanks
On my site you can leave links in comments, you just have to use the thingy. Anyway hope to see you on there, Nick!
One thing I would like to point out is this, Mani.
As you say, “grab RSS of news blogs” that actually doesn’t work most of the time. The syndication is a little tricky. Most RSS feeds update hours later. They are syndicated to readers even later. Sometimes readers get the published content a day later. So, by that time, several people may already have published about it.

wow, nice information mate… helped me in nick of time…

most of time having perfect sites doesnt put you in a good rank, so you do have to get some backlinks without waiting from your visitors
Thanks for all the ideas.
Nice article Karthik
Thanks buddy.
Thanx for the info dude, I’ll try to post articles like this.posts like yours also can get some inbound links…..
Some good advice but one thing I want to know is at a higher level such as dealing with online finance institutions where customers are also competitors how do you get good quality backlinks?
I realise that you can use blogs / forums relating to your business but what other ways can you generate backlinks?
http://www.financialjobsinlondon.com
Myles, finance sector is much competitive as you rightly said, and in such cases, I’d recommend a clever social media strategy combined with aggressive link building, as natural links are very difficult. Unfortunately more money may have to be invested compared to other sectors here. But there are smaller niches that you can target and break into. That’s the good thing about financial sector.
excelent tips, but not everybody links best content, someone still and dont put backlink in ur sites
nyttige tips. vi er ganske ny på nettet, og jeg har satt i gang med markedsføring. takker for dine tips. setter pris på hvis du har flere.
Remember hard work is always appreciated so strive to give and create innovative themes and articles if there is something new and exciting in them people will surely appreciate your work instead of looking for links that will go higher . Actually you are the original link that can attain heights.
Great article, just found your blog online and you do a great job on updating it and posting interesting material. WIll visit you on a reg basis
Welcome, hope you enjoy the stay.
Keep up the great work
Thanks….
Blog with high value content and high frequency in post may get you free backlinks because various search engines crawls your blog to index your post regularly. People who generally find you through search engines will link to your blog freely.
But in case of website even with high value content, with few pages which are not updated regularly this theory may backfire and may result in very less PR. Yes it would work in long run, if you have patience to wait for months before someone links to you.
Hey All your posts are very creamy.
Getting backlinks in bulk for free is by far the best method.But finding it for free tends to be hard.I’m going to make a list of places to get free backlinks on my site that should help alot of people.
“Getting backlinks in bulk for free is by far the best method.” – I disagree. Getting them in bulk is defenitely not going to look natural and may raise flags at Google. I believe they should gather up slowly withina safe pan of time.
Very good information any other technique rather than this..?
Very good information about getting backlinks any other technique rather than this..?
Well you say that write great posts for other blogs to link you. But when I don’t have backlinks, how am i gonna soar up in the serps and how will others know that my blog even exists? OK fine, lets consider that i get a decent number of visitors from social network and they come to know that my site is cool and the content is also good. but do they really bother to link me back? Ya that can be true in a matter of years, maybe 4-5 years. And no-one has the nerve to wait so long.
Writing pillar articles are surely a great way to get natural link bait links for free. However from my experience, what I have found that, whatever be the quality of your article you wont get much results if your blog is pretty new. However if some famous blogs like problogger.net publish posts of even half the quality they get so much attention.
the reason all boil downs to the current audience. As far as I am concerned, my blog traffic must be direct. That is what my aim is.
User participation is what I am looking for. It is easy for a blog but what about a regular website. How does someone get folks to “Participate” in disucssions, make them think or just ask questions.
Paul

you are write, if have something new/innovative than people with link to you with asking then.
Its very good to know. thanks.
One way to get backlinks is by posting useful information on other websites – say yahoo answers where you can help people in areas you have expertise in by answering their question, while promoting your site (throught providing your website link in source section). This will not only build a lot more credibility and drive traffic to your site, but also generate high quality back links.

Well I found following free web directory and search engine submission service helpful. They do have paid featured listing options, but also provide free search engine submission to over 20 search engines.
Well why not use traditional ways to get backlinks by submission to search engines and web directories?
My blog is very new and just less then 2 months old i guess and each time i publish; those published posts are being indexed with in an hour with out missing not even single post. But , very sadly there is no back links at all…
Very sad you know…

Thats very nice of you…Thanks alot,, bye bye
content is king. that’s why some blogger hired others to write a unique content since google love unique content very much.
Thanks Mani, i will include this to my just learnt lesson, i.e making relevant and constructive comments on blogsites. Please guys do know that there is a software that seeks and sift out the no follow and give you the do follow blogsites free. I think this too will help.
thanks for the tips great job
I was already convinced, but that was really cool. Thanks for the article, very helpful.
Nice tips here,
I’m very interested in learning more about your approach of getting links through comments. I understand that by leaving comments on websites you often don’t get a “real” backlink since most blogging software uses rel=”no follow” for that link. Some readers might still see your comment, and visit your website but a search engine like google will often not count that as a backlink.
Every time we talk about SEO, back link is one of the important factor. Nice Article..
You can also become a trusted press release partner of sites
and you get new content early.
Nice tip! very useful for newbies bloggers
there that offer thousands of products containing backlink, at a price hundreds of dollars. Does it work?
Simple yet powerful techniques. Will incorporate into blog.
Thanks Mate, I will be starting to get backlinks on your way.

Nepal travel
Yes, nice info ,thank you .
Ow.. first searh keyword “getting free backlinks” what a Great SEO optimization..
nice to visit
Except of “be innovative” all the other advices are “copy the others”, or “use others ideas to create ‘original’ content” ….
The single one thing that makes you go on the top is something that must be very natural to do it, and this is “be yourself”. Just that. So simple.
Don’t copy the others. Just create. Thus you will be unique. Don’t mix. Just create. Why is that so hard to be understood by people ?
As even wise people say : Competition does not make us win. A competitive approach does not work. A creative one does.
Don’t just waste time against the others. B U .
