Have a blog? What is the purpose of your blog? Making money, sharing ideas, online diary? Whatever the purpose of your blog is, you need readers, right, or else what is the point in writing all of those blog posts?
Few months ago, I stumbled across one very good blog, full of great ideas and resources. For my own interest, I decided to check the traffic rank of the blog at Alexa.com. To my surprise, the blog was unknown even to Alexa.com! What was wrong? Then, I tried to check the backlinks on Google; no single link was received by the blog. That reminded me of the importance of link building.
No matter how great your blog is, nobody will read it if no one finds you. And to make people find you, you need links, it is that simple. Let's take a look at the 5 easy ways you can increase you backlinks:
Tip No 1 - Build Your Presence on Forums
I like this method. It is quick and easy. Basically, all you need to do is answer people's questions on forums related to your expertise and put some signatures referring to your blog at the end of the post.
Tip No 2 - Write Article
It has been said that content is the king. Write as much content as you can, and spread it across various article directories, or even better, give the article for free to your local newsletter or electronic magazine. You might not get paid first, but the authority figure you would become would pay you off eventually many times.
Tip No 3 - Get Links from Directories
Getting links from directories is easy and fast. Some of the best directories out there are free. But if you have some budgets, it is advisable to pay for several high rank directories. In that way, the big search engines will acknowledge your blog's presence and your blog will start to show up on various search engine results.
Tip No 4 - Build Friendship with Fellow Bloggers
Build friendship with fellow bloggers who have the same expertise as you. Remember that two are better than one. You can find blogs with related topics through Google or Technorati! Chances are that there are thousands of blogs that have the same subjects, which in turn means thousands of potential backlinks for you!
Tip No 5 - Use Viral Marketing
Last but not the least; use viral marketing. What does it mean? Create something unique! Giveaway a lot of free stuff that your readers would find helpful! When people like your blog they are more than willing to tell their friends, families and co-workers about you and your blog.
