Nice post thanks

Yes very much agree with these techniques.... Article submission needs to be done carefully as some directories spoils your link.

Backlink = Other site linking to your site

submit articles to ezinearticles.com

This is a lot of great information. I believe you definitely got your question answered. One of the best ways to backlink is find websites with high PR's that pertain to your website.

Hi San, please try to keep discussions on topic. If you would like to advertise your SEO services, you are welcome to do so in the Business Exchange forum located here at DaniWeb - http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum152.html

Here's a concept: If you are obsessed with acquiring backlinks, why not create important, unique webpages that webmasters naturally deem worthy of offering a link, or not? Your own internal linking strategy is far more valuable than any external one. Why would you want to try out some of the trendy link building schemes whose aims are exclusively to artificially increase the volume, relevancy and credibility of incoming links; in an attempt to manipulate the search engine. Rather than making it appear like you have important content because of the quantity of backlinks, why not just create important well-optimized content. It's much more predictable and completely within your own control.

This will require some new skills however, especially in innovative use of the language and effectively, not overly, emphasizing primary keyphrases.

Perfectly said Fred... This concept should be required reading for every seo.

Thanks Jay.

^ he pretty much listed all the methods in gaining backlinks. you can also do directory submission tho, it takes time to be approved.

Backlinks are links of your site that appear in other sites and this is what search engines use to rank your site. For me, the best way to get backlinks for your site is article marketing.
