Setting Up a Backlinking System to Promote Your Website | Webpage

Where your website falls in the SERPs is extremely relevant to how much traffic you get.  The best place to be is on the first page of the SERPs for any given search term, and the higher you are on that page, the better.

You obviously cannot be on the first page for every search term that people might enter to find your page, so to compesate for that, it is necessary to concentrate on just a few search terms that you want to rank regularly.  Once you determine what those search terms are, you can embed them into the text of your site, according to search engine optimization techniques.  Another word for search term is keyword.

Most authors research the search terms that people use to find their topic online.  This is called keyword research.

It may seem way too self promoting to create your own backlinks, but in truth, if you don't promote yourself, how can you compete against all those big companies out there who spend thousands of dollars on commercials, marketing strategies, and analysts?

You are just getting a jump start on your content, so that you have a good chance of competing for a small slice of the readership attention pie.

I believe, that the best backlinks that you can create are text backlinks that are a minimum of 200 words.  These can be short articles or blurbs that are about your topic, or a related topic to your main content.  These are NOT copies of your site nor are they excerpts from your site.  And each one should be different.

You can create these articles yourself for free, you can hire someone to write them for you, or you can hire a service to write and post them for you.

Other backlinks can be related content articles on the same site or other sites, bookmarks, and blurbs on sites like Facebook.  Again, the best backlinks have at least 200 words of text associated with each link.  Creating backlinks is important enough that you should take the time to systematically backlink to your sites after publishing as a matter of course.

Once you understand the importance of backlinks, you can also understand why some authors and marketers would be willing to hire someone to create backlinks for them.  Depending on how much money they are making writing and marketing online, it may be well worth their time to hire someone else to create the short articles needed for backlinks.

However, you can certainly start a backlinking strategy for free and do it yourself.  To get you started, I am providing you with a list of sites that you can create backlinking articles for free.  You will need to read each site's TOS to see what their word minimum is, and their linking policy.  Some sites require more than 200 words.  Some of these sites can also earn you money through revenue share.

If you get to the point where you are willing to pay a service at least $30 per month to create backlinks for you, then I highly recommend Build My Rank, which I have used and seen proven results.  Build My Rank charges a monthly fee to backlink unlimited articles, but you have to write them or hire a writer to write them.  For each link, you need at least 150 words.

Whether paying someone is in your budget or not, you will definitely see a rise in the SERPs over time by creating a backlinking strategy.  That is what will get you the traffic you need for your content.
