How to get links to your blog?

 

I’ve been doing some readings lately and I’ve seen a similar tip all over the internet. In order for you website/blog to be successful, you need to have a lot of quality links going to your site.

The purpose of links and why you need them

Links are very important to a blog. When a site links to you, you gain exposure from that site. Also, the number of links are also used by search engines to rank your site for a particular keyword. For example, I have to rank high for the keywords, Synergy Global International or PSP Games Download, then I would need lots of links pointing to these posts. Think of links as votes for your posts. Search engines think that the more links you have, the more people like your work so it should be important enough to be ranked high in the search engine results.

How to get links to your blog?

Now that you know the importance of links to your blog, you now need to get links. How do you get them?

  1. Link Exchanges – You can simply do a link exchange with other websites/bloggers. You can contact them and ask for a link however, you should also link to them.
  2. Link from your other blogs – I see a lot of bloggers using this technique. They have other blogs where they exchange links with their main blog. Now this is easier but you have to at least make sure that your other blogs are active too.
  3. Comment on other’s blogs – This is only helpful when a blog allows comments. Whenever you type in a comment, you have a choice of writing your name and your url. You can use that to add in the URL you want to gain a link with but please don’t spam.
  4. Buy Text Links – Although not really a good practice in the eyes of search engines, if you have the cash, you can do this easier way to gain links. But just a word of warning, you ca

How to make a good or proper link?

Not all links are equal. If you want to maximize the effect of the link to your blog/site, you need to use the anchor text and link address properly.

The anchor text must usually be your keyword that you are trying to optimize. In my example above, I used the anchor text, “synergy global” because I want to optimize these keywords. If I used Silkenhut as the anchor text, then I would have been optimizing the wrong keyword. Also having the correct anchor text will make people more likely to click on it as they will find it relevant to what they are reading.

The link address is best used to link to single posts and not on the homepage. The homepage are easily accessible but the more important parts of our site are our individual blog posts.

So take these two things in consideration and you can really help boost your search engine rankings. I for myself am going to start adding for links to my blog.

Thanks for reading! ^_^
