Back links to your blog serve two strategies. First, a back link from a "do follow" site will pass on the page rank. You will in effect borrow page rank from their site and add it to your page rank. Second people who are visiting the other site will see the link to your website. A certain percentage will click on the link, and visit to learn more about you.
So, back links are responsible for two types of traffic. Search engine traffic from the increased search engine optimization provided by each back link. And direct traffic from the people that click on the link from the other site to your website.
Below are 7 ways to gain back links and benefit from these powerful traffic generation methods:
1. Articles On Article Directories - Writing an article and including a link to your blog in the resource box is a great way to build back links. Not sure what to write about? Take one of your best posts and repurpose to the article directory.
2. Blog Carnivals - Find a Carnival matching the topic of your niche. Take your best post from the past week and submit it to the carnival. Make sure you what you are submitting is relevant to the niche, and can help readers.
3. Guest Posts - Writing a guest post for another blogger is a great way to gain back links. You get to include links back to you in the resource part of the post. Finding guest posting opportunities is easier than you think. The key is to look for bloggers who are at the same level as you or a little bit higher. "A" listers are bombarded with requests making it harder to get noticed.
4. Trackbacks - Write about post on another blog, and add a trackback. The other blogger will get a notification about your post. When it gets approved you will get a link back to your website. This one will help with SERPs, and direct traffic.
5. Squidoo pages - Take one of your posts, and create a Squidoo lens. Make sure to rewrite the post to avoid duplicate content. In the lens add a link to your website.
6. Interviews - Interview another blogger, or get interviewed on another website. A link to your site should be included on the other website. Whether you are interviewing or being interview.
7. Ask - This is overlooked and one of the simplest ways to get back links. Search out blogs in the same niche and make contact with the owner. Not everyone will want to give you a back link, but some will.
