Top Ten Ways to Get Backlinks to Your Network Marketing Site

What is a backlink? If you post an article on a blog or in an article directory and you put a link to your site in the signature or in the bio section that is a backlink.

You can also make a video or post classified ads or set up a blog and post there with a backlink. The more backlinks you get the higher your site will rank for the search engines. The higher you rank the closer to the top of page one your site will show up when someone does a search. The closer you get to the top of page one the more traffic you will get.

So you do keyword research and find out what keywords people are using to find whatever you have and you write an article using that keyword several times and in the title if possible. You can concentrate on long-tail keywords for better results because there will be less competition and they will more precisely target your product or service.

To make your links even stronger you can use the exact keywords you are trying to rank for as your links. So people will have to click on the keyword itself to follow the link to your site. This is called anchor text and it works way better that when people use "click here" as the link.

When you do a search there are a few shaded sites at the top and several shaded sites on the right side of each page usually. These are ads that people posted and they have to pay whenever someone clicks on them. All of the other sites are the generic results and this is where you are trying to get a high rank.

Articles are the beginning of you backlinks because they can be loaded with content. You can also get videos to rank pretty high too. Some of the highest ranked videos will lead you to an article though. One thing about articles is they will be online forever once they are posted and that means people will be following those links.

A lot of people think it would be too hard to write articles but is is not that difficult. If you have ever written a note on a postcard you can do it. There are plenty of ways to get good at it too. You can find sales pages and copy them several times just to get used to the terms and format used in them. You can also find sites online like copyblogger.com that will give you pointers.

Here are the top ten ways to build backlinks:

1. Articles- submitted to directories whether manually, with automatic software, or using a service.

2. Post articles and comments on others articles on social sites like Linked-In, Facebook, Ning. etc...

3. Using social bookmarking sites- Digg, Reddit, Stumble upon, etc...

4. Using forum signature links- Post comments or solutions on forums with a link in your signature.

5. Find other marketers to swap links with as long as they are in the same niche.

6. Post on your blog and ping blog directories, if you use Wordpress for your blog this will be done automatically.

7. Go to other people blogs and post comments with a link in your signature.

8. Submit your site to ezine, or niche forums and appropriate directories.

9. Use your blog to post viral content. Viral content will cause others to post your content on their blogs and to link back to your site.

10. Video posts on Youtube

Two of the strongest methods are the videos and the articles because all of your content starts with articles and they can be posted in many places including your own blog, others blogs, social sites blogs and groups, and article directories. Videos can get high rankings also and you can use them to talk about your site or your articles.

If you are not used to doing either you need to bite the bullet and get started on both because the more you practice the better you will get.
