Buy Backlinks – Will it help?
Backlinks are basically links from other websites that are pointed back to you own internet pages. You need backlinks because they drive traffic and help you rank well in the search engines. Without traffic or good ranking, your website is a good as dead. There are many ways to get backlinks to your website.
One of the most common way would be article submissions. This is a process where you submit your articles to article directories. The moment your article is published in the article directory, you automatically receive a backlink. The more articles you submit, the most backlinks you’ll get in return. However, backlinks you get from article directories are not really that strong compared to other methods of getting backlinks. The reason why they are not strong is because the article page is new and do not have pagerank. With article submissions, you’ll benefit most from traffic instead of linking power that would play and important role in search engine rankings.
Another common way of acquiring backlinks would be link directory submissions. This is a process where your links are submitted to hundreds or even thousands of link directories online. Unfortunately, it takes a period of time for your links to get approved and listed. The approval process can take weeks to months. Even though some link directories may approve your links quicker than expected, the value of the back link you are getting isn’t that of any good because it’s most probable that your links would be listed in a page that has little or no pagerank at all.
Reciprocal ink exchanges is yet another common way to get backlinks pointing to your website. This is a process where you exchange links with other websites. You place a link to their website and they will place a link to your website in return. Manual reciprocal link exchanges can be a pain if done manually because you will have to look for suitable link partners, write them an email then if everything goes well, you will need to manually add link pointing to your partner’s website. Fortunately, there are reciprocal link exchange management scripts that automates the process. For this method of acquiring backlink, it takes abit of luck to get strong links especially if you site is new and does not have pagerank.
Article submission, link directory submission and reciprocal link exchange are 3 of the most common methods to of getting backlinks to your website. There are of course many otherways to get backlinks to your website. You can get backlinks from social bookmarking, social networks, blog commenting, video submission, template distribuition, software distribution, classified posting, forum posting etc etc. But most of the time, you will be getting backlinks with little or no value. Not only that, it is time consuming as well.
So what about buying backlinks? Will it help? Well it may or may not. If you buy backlinks from the scammers, it certainly won’t help. If you buy backlinks from websites that oversell link spaces, it won’t help either. There are many things you need to understand about buying backlinks. Some of the criteria you need to look at would be to check if it has genuine page rank, the website or page is index in google, and it doesn’t have to many links displayed. There are of course other criterias such as pricing and its page rank. If all the criteria is met, you may have very well found yourself a good buy.
The sad thing is, alot of us starting out on a limited budget cannot afford buying high quality backlinks (pagerank 6 and above) as they are very costly. From pagerank tables found online, a pagerank 6 link is equivalent to 91,414 pagerank 1 links. Notice it to be pagerank 1 links? Not pagerank 0 but pagerank 1? If you submit your articles to hundreds or thousands of article directories and get approved for listings, there’s still a degree of doubt that you will even get a pagerank 0 backlink. Mostly, the backlinks you will get do not have any pagerank at all as it is new and there’s no permanent backlinks pointing to it. Same goes for link directory submissions as well. Your link will most likely appear on a page that have no pagerank value at all. Without any pagerank, you can forget about ranking well in google.
There are 2 main reasons why people would buy backlinks. Firstly, for traffic and strong backlink which will improve their site’s search engine rankings. Secondly, they understand that it is more efficient to buy affordable backlinks instead of spending money on article writers or directory submission services. There are many places where you buy backlinks. Webmaster Forums for instance. Almost every webmaster forums you can find online will have a section dedicated to link trading. An alternative would backlink brokers online. Eventhough you can buy backlinks from backlink brokers, they are often more expensive compared those of webmaster forums.
So inconclusion, if you have some money at your disposal, don’t forget to start buying backlinks. The best scenario would be to practice the common ways of getting backlinks combined with buying backlinks.
How Many Backlinks Does Your Website Have
When it comes to marketing your business on the Internet back links are extremely important. Unless you plan on purchasing your traffic for the rest of your life you are going to want to develop back links to your website.
Do you even know how many back links your website has? Most people do not and many do not really understand the importance of it.
A back link is when your website address is on somebody else’s website. That link is pointing back to your site and when somebody clicks on it you get a visitor.
It also gives search engines a way to find your site and it builds up the popularity of your site when you have a lot of back links.
Quality back links count too, and therefore having your website address on a highly visited website can increase the popularity of your site in the search engines eyes. Google even go so far as to have a page rank to determine the worth of a web page.
Your website should have a page rank as well. To increase your page rank you need to have more back links pointing to your site from pages that are equal or greater than the page rank of your own.
Enough on the technical aspects of backlinks, let’s talk about the importance of them in general. A back link is like a sidewalk leading up to the front door of your store.
If you could have sidewalks coming at you from thousands of different ways think how many more visitors you would have. This is exactly what a back link does for your business.
Back links are long term security and an actual way for your home business website to thrive. They are also an excellent way for you to get traffic on a continual basis, long after you’ve created a back link to begin with.
This is why top Internet marketers spend time developing links back to their site through various marketing avenues. Some of the most popular ways to create a back link include getting a link pointing back to your site through article marketing, forum marketing, commenting on blog posts, and so on.
The problem with paid advertising is that when you quit paying you stop having visitors. The reason for this is they do not have a way to find you!
A back link stays online indefinitely, and therefore potentially can create you traffic for many years to come. This is why it’s important that you understand how many back links your website has and have a plan to continue to increase those.
Article Marketing For BackLinks
I am one of the many internet marketers who rely heavily on article marketing. What is article marketing? Well I like to split it up into two categories to make more sense of it. There’s one kind of article marketing that’s primarily created for direct traffic and there’s a second kind that’s done primarily for the links back This second kind of article marketing is a part of what is called Search Engine Optimization or SEO.
I think it’s quite clear why you want traffic back to your website from articles and to anyone who knows SEO it’s just as clear why you want links to your website as well. But I’d like to expand upon this second point for anyone who is not entirely clear on it.
If you want your website to rank high in Google (and in the other search engines) then you will need to have a lot of “backlinks” to your website from a lot of different domains.
That’s why you want to use an article marketing service which allows you to “spin” your articles and to submit them to a large number of sites at once. These article submission services are not free but they are worth some cost because they will allow you to greatly “leverage” the time you spend with your article marketing.
Yes you could “spin” your articles yourself (that is create many variations on one article) and you could submit all of those different articles to hundreds of sites all on your own but that would probably take you many weeks (possibly even months!) You can do the same thing using a top article submission service in less than an hour. It shouldn’t be too hard to see why such a service is worth a significant amount of money if you want to get links back to your site.
You definitely want links back to your site if you want it to have any chance of ranking high in Google. That’s how Google ranks sites. Based on how many links (and the quality of the links) which head back to your site.
That’s why you want to write high quality informative articles which will be published on as many sites as possible and of course which contain a link back to your site in the resource box.
You really should write articles that are related directly to the theme of your website.
It doesn’t make a lick of sense to write an article about soda pop if your website is about the LA Lakers. Or to write articles about playing guitar if your website is about fishing. There should definitely be some relationship between your articles and your website that the articles link back to.
This is for two reasons: You want any direct traffic you get (that’s traffic direct from the articles you are writing) to be targeted. People who read an article on how to play the guitar are not going to want to go to a website about fishing, but they are quite likely to click on a link to a website about guitars. The second reason is for SEO purpose. There is plenty of evidence that Google considers the subject of the page where a link comes from when weighting the “value” of that link. In short: It’s better to have links back from related pages than from unrelated pages.
Backlinks – are Articles and Ezines a Help or Waste of Time?
Well the answer to that question is both Yes & no. A few years back it would have been a clear-cut Yes, but these days with the way algorithms work, especially with Google, it now checks titles, content and bio’s for duplicate content. If it discovers any, only the earliest one will be listed, and if that happens to be a Pagerank of ’1′, then all your hard work is pretty useless to you.
Even worse is that since around February 2007 Google concluded that sites less than Pagerank ’4′ are worth much less than they used to be, even with related content.
So what does this mean to those of us who publish articles, is it a waste of time? Well no, you see while Google is the No.1 search engine, we still have plenty of others that are not so strict with backlinking, and most people seem to completely forget about them. Even so, you need to work harder these days to get the most out of your articles.
So how do I do that I hear you ask? Well inaugural of all most folk these days use program to do the job for them, you can find plenty of reviews by searching for them, I will not go into any detail on any particular pc’s in this article.
What you need in your computers is firstly, it can log into the sites, publish your article, logout and move onto the next one. But that is not all you need these days, you usually need another piece of pc’s that will rewrite the articles for you, not the rubbish that moves paragraphs around, or publishes keyword twaddle, the program required is the ones that adapt synonyms so that the article still makes sense and flows the way you wrote it in the earliest place.
If you then run off say 50-100 different copies, this is usually enough for submission.
The submission computer software should allow you to include *.txt files with a list of titles on it relating to your article, and another *.txt files with a list of bio’s. During submission the computers should randomly pick an article, a title, and a bio, so every time it submits, you are getting a very good mixture. So some will get through the search engine looks at.
It is also a good idea to search for your proposed titles on the web in phrase form, if any come up, dump them. You only need 5-10 different titles and bio’s.
If you run a number of websites, including different addresses in the bio will do you an even bigger favour, and give you a more random spread of bio’s, try and keep the article related in some way to the sites you are pointing to though.
Alway use http//xxxxxxxx in the bio as well as href, with a keyword link, to make sure at least one link is live, as not all scripts work the same.
Never put the same article with changed synonyms on the same article submission website, it is usually picked up and deleted, and you are not only wasting the time of the reviewer, but annoying them, and if it happens more than once they may cancel your account, and delete all your entries.
In order to ensure you can have as innumerable Backlinks as possible, you also need to write a few articles pointing to the same site(s), as Google is clever enough now to pick up ‘near enough’ duplicates, so various of your articles is usually dropped, while most other engines will probably list them.
And finally, when submitting your articles, do it with sites ranked 6-10 initial, and then wait a week, so that they are indexed first. Then submit it to all the other article sites. This makes sure the originals indexed are on good Pagerank sites, and are earliest in the list if Google drops most of the others for being near duplicates.
Is it All About Backlinks?
Every webmaster is searching for a method how to increase the traffic going to his website. The question is obvious: is it all just about the backlinks? When I started this blog, I had only few of them. I was trying to get more. But then I noticed something very interesting. If you have bad page rank and a minimum of backlinks in the beginning, you can still have some traffic from Google. How to do it? Be actual; write about everything earlier than your competitors. Then ping some famous services (for my blog I use Pingoat.com). Google loves fresh content and if you will be the firs one to post about something very actual, all the visitors will be yours. Remember to write regularly so that Google crawler will go through your web every single day many times. The freshest news have somehow better rank in Google search results. I don’t know why, I don’t know the Google algorithm. The only thing I possess is the experience. And it tells me: if you are fresh and actual, you will get what you need: traffic. And the coming people will be satisfied as well if they find what they were looking for on your page. Maybe they will bookmark your site or subscribe to your feed! And that’s how winning is done!
