Guest post by: Kelly and Andrew

Article Overview: In the article below I will be explaining to you the reasons why backlinks are so important to your websites success and how to achieve them.

Top 7 Tips - How To Get Backlinks to your website

First of all, the amount of traffic that you will drive to your website will have a lot to do with your search engine ranking. Search engines are sites such as yahoo, google etc who rank websites according to their popularity. Every time a user types in a keyword, looking for a product or service, he or she will be directed to the most popular websites.

One way to increase the popularity of your site is by creating backlinks. A backlink is when you have your website URL on another website. Backlinks are very effective and the more of them you have online the more traffic they can bring to your site. My top 7 ways to get backlinks to your website and increase its success are;

1 - Write and submit articles consistently and have the reader click on a link back to your website. Submit articles through article distribution sites to get more of your product out there.

2 - Send out press releases each time your business has a newsworthy story. Include a link back to your site at the bottom of your page.

3 - Contact other websites and exchange links with them.

4 - Write articles in your blog etc and post them in social directories. This is known as bookmarking a blog post. Search engines recognise these and it will help you increase your organic ranking.

5 - Post comments in other people's blogs or articles and include a link back to you website.

6 - Participate in online forums and include a signature file that has a keyword phrase back to your website. This will give you backlinks long term.

7 - Buy text link ads on somebody else's blog. A blog sidebar link could see you end up on hundreds of pages with one link.

When it comes to your online business every little bit helps and I hope I have given you an insight into how you can grow your traffic with backlinks.

Wishing You Success

Re: How should i promote a new website? - [quote="Alan Mater":391s63q7] Submitting a website to the search engines is not the way to go about things. What you should do is get a link pointing to your site from another site. The search engines will naturally find your site and crawl it. This can be done by adding your site to link directories, blog commenting, rss submissions, article marketing, social bookmarking, etc. There's many ways to go about it, but that's all that needs done. Submitting a site to search engines will actually do more harm than good. Anelly, you've been given some great advice on how to promote your site. Article marketing, blog commenting, social bookmarking, forum posting, etc. are all great ways. Starting a blog and writing about your site and the product you're promoting is great as well. There's many offline strategies that work well, too.[/quote:391s63q7] Hi Alan, I completely agree with you. However, I don't remember where I saw this advice, but this guy recommended submitting to search engines ONLY ONCE, when your website is new and fresh, and never again! Didn't have time to try this, and I don't think is can do any harm, but only if you do it once. Backlinks are the only way to go.

When I started my new niche site I never once submitted my site to any search engines. Now I'm getting over 200 visits a day from Google and other search engines, and it has a PR 2. If you get a chance to ask Suzanne Morrison I'm pretty sure she'll agree that submitting your site to search engines is a waste of time. It's better for them to find your site naturally through links on other pages. I totally agree that backlinks are the core for getting traffic and high search engine placements. Make sure to use the keywords in those backlinks that you want to rank for.
