Do you know how to get quality related and relevant backlinks?


Someone new starting out in the business of Affiliate Marketing can often get overwhelmed by all the little things that need to be done in order to make their business successful. Finding related and relevant backlinks is one of the first road blocks that can get in your way and unless you have someone to explain the basics to you finding those relevant backlinks can be very difficult.

Backlinks can come from a number of places but I'll tell you with how I've learned to get my related and relevant backlinks. Here are seven pretty simple steps, that if followed a few times, will get you over the hump of finding quality related and relevant backlinks for your site.

1. I presume you already have a niche. If you don’t, then jot down some ideas about your hobbies or things that interest you and create your niche.

2. From your niche, do some keyword research and chose some nice keywords that are used - but not a ton. If you can find keywords that are used between 10,000 and 50,000 times or so then you are doing good. Use Google's Keyword Tool to help you find this info.

3. Now with your keywords, go to Google Search and enter them in with quotes around them. This will tell you what the supply is for your keywords. If the supply of your keywords is between 50,000 and a 100,000 then that is good. If it gets above the 500,000 range, then you are competing with several people to supply content.

4. With your keywords in hand start writing article. Use your best keywords and start writing 300 to 500 word articles about them. Place your keywords in your article to get about a 3 to 5% density. Make your articles informative and completely your stuff.

5. Publish your article with places like EzineArticle, HubPages, GoArticle, and Squidoo. Make sure that for your title you use your keyword and try and place it at or near the beginning of your title. Squidoo Tag Buddy is an excellent tool that helps you fill in all those tags effortlessly.

6. With your article published then you are ready to start getting backlinks. Your articles are one way of getting relevant related backlinks. Another way is to join related forums and start writing good comments. I like to use my keywords in my comments because they will often get picked up by the search engines. When looking for forums, choose the ones that are related to your niche. In your comments place your signature. Your signature will have your Website URL. That is your related backlink.

7. A good backlink tool will help you find related forums and related Websites. I’ve found BackLink Agent to be an excellent tool for find quality forums and related backlinks. BackLink Agent can assist you in finding 100s of related and relevant backlinks!

You simply can't get enough backlinks so when you’re finished writing your articles just keep writing more articles and leaving more comments. It’s very important that you get quality related and relevant backlinks to boost you’re standing with the search engines.

Using good keywords I've been able to get my articles indexed by Google in just a matter of hours

Backlinks are incoming links to your website. It’s simple really…you vote for a candidate that you fully support or find most interesting. Similarly, you link to websites (or anything for that matter) that you think gives great value. As an SEO specialist, backlinks are one of the things you strive for in order to outrank your competitors.
(Nofollow links don’t give out “link juice” or “link love” which is used by Google for their PageRank system.)
