What do backlinks have to do with a website or a blog. Why should website and blog webmasters be concerned about getting high quality backlinks? Backlinks play a huge role in getting visitors known as traffic to websites and blogs. Backlinks from different directories, blogs, websites, articles all help direct traffic to websites and blogs. This traffic translates into money and that is why high-quality backlinks are so important.

Steps

1

Find backlinks. You can do a Google search for high quality backlinks, but never pay for links. You can go on related forums for more information on backlinks or read the Google Link Guidelines on what is required
2

Register or sign up for the sites that you will be leaving a backlink on. The registration or sign up procedure is straight forward and will usually have an activation link sent to your email.

Once you have clicked on the activation link, then you will be able to sign in.
4

Now that you are signed in, search for your profile button or control panel button (cp). Navigate to edit your profile.
5

Keep in mind that each website or forum that will give you a backlink is different. In some cases, you add your URL address where indicated. In other cases, you also leave your URL address in the signature box. Still, in other cases, you leave your URL address in your bio section. It all depends and it is up to you to figure out, unless the backlinks have instructions.

With respect to the signature box and the bio (biography) box, you can leave 3 links to your site with key words.
- For example key words can be: Best Ways To Make Money Online, Make Money Online From Home, Best Home Based Business. These are 3 examples of keywords that will contain the link back to the website. However, recent changes to the Google Guidelines will suggest that you don't use anchor rich keywords and you will be much better off with just a 'Click Here' or URL link.
7
In order to add the link to these keywords you will have to use HTML code or BBC code. It will be indicated. Here is an example of the HTML code: <a href="http://www.YOUR%20WEBSITE.com">KEYWORDS</a>
- Here is the example of BBC code: [url=http://www.YOUR WEBSITE.com]KEYWORDS[/url]

Yes you can, but you want to set them so they flow with your content. You also do not want more then ten links to other sites on one page. If you put more than ten links per page or if your links do not pertain to your content, Google will blacklist you and the sites linked to.

Be prepared to get tired. Adding backlinks is time consuming, frustrating and something you would rather not do.
Be prepared with your HTML codes and BBC codes written out with your website and keywords. That way you highlight, copy, and paste.
Never use unethical means (automated) to try to gain links. You also need to steer clear of link networks, in-line links with keyword rich anchor text and poor-quality directories.
