Top 5 Most Effective Backlink Building Techniques
Backlinks are an integral part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and while many different techniques can be employed to increase your backlink count, some are most effective than others.
Below I’ve provided the Top 5 Most Effective Backlink Building Techniques. Now these are by no means a definitive list of backlink building techniques, however they are some of the best way to ensure that your back-linking efforts pay-off.
1. Article Writing
Article Marketing is the same type of task as blogging and therefore it fits well for the regular blogger. Articles that are submitted to article directories will provide a backlinks. Some thought should be given to the keywords used as readers will search the articles directory by keyword, so in order to create a reliable source traffic, you need to be able to apply the correct keyword with consideration to the keyword density and proximity. Another important factor that should be considered is that in order to gain the most from Article Directories you need to submit unique content – an article re-writer or spinner is useful here.
2. Interlink Exchanges
Interlink Exchanges or link exchanges is basically the concept of receiving a backlink for giving a backlink. This is more commonly referred to as a reciprocal link. While link exchanges and reciprocal links were gold mines in the past, they are not used as much these days due to newer search engine algorithms reducing the volume of “link juice” passed onto your website.
3. Joining groups related to your content
Major search engines have very different groups of thinkers. That is a good source of traffic but the requirements for participation depend on the blogger. It is important to note that membership of a group is simply a technique, but what really matters is the useful, quality content.
4. Quality Is King
The best backlinks come from the quality of content. If you are constantly posting high quality content, readers will want to visit your blog more often. Other bloggers may link to your website sighting a great article that they have read and this in turn will give a backlink and open another avenue of traffic.
5. Forum Posting
Forums are a great source of backlinks. Forum links work in two ways:
- Every post creates a backlink if you have provided the URL of your blog in your signature
- Members of the forum can see your link and visit of link to your blog
Be sure however to provide informative posts – don’t just post a useless comment for the sake of getting a link in there.
The secret to building backlinks to your website is that you employ the techniques on a continual basis. By duplicating your backlink buildings techniques on a continue basis you will continue to grow your backlink count on a gradual basis and avoid any unnecessary attention from Search Engines.

Another great way is to ask YouTube channel owners to put a link of you in the discription of one of their videos. There’s SO much traffic on YouTube!
Definitely Jan. I haven’t actually asked other YouTube channel owners to include a link of my site, but it’s worth giving it ago.
