Whats your name ? I am sure everyone knows the answer to this question . What if someone wants to call you by reading your name like taking attendance during school or college . What if your name is not written on the attendance sheet but you are a student of that school . You are there but no one knows that because you are not listed there . Same is the case with your blog . Now you have created your blog just like others millions of bloggers and webmasters but the problem is who knows that you have !
Without links a site is like a person without identity . Many bloggers complain about not getting traffic and readers for their blogs. They do get some peanuts on daily basis but that also trough their own efforts by emailing their friends and family members a link to their blog.
They are missing the basic ingredients and that is “Links” . Links are nothing but your blog URL that can be found at different places on the world wide web . Those are permanent links ( or Backlinks ) unlike those that you send through email messages . Links are used by search engines to judge the popularity of any site . The more links for a site , higher the chances that a search engine is going to rank a site high. There are various methods one can build links for their blogs . Some of them are :
- Directory submission (If you do not know where to begin then read my previous post about directories importance in building backlinks)
- Other Blogs
- Social networking / bookmarking sites ( By sharing your links with others )
- Forums ( forums are the easiest means to get links for your blog )
There are various other strategies as well that one can adopt for link Building . The ones that I have listed above are very simple and easy to implement and if you are a beginner then you better start with these methods to get links for your blogs .The earlier you start the better it is for your blog.
