Incoming links from different sites to your site are known as backlinks. OR, Those links by which any user or visitor enters your site are called backlinks. Getting traffic from search engines are the main sources of SEO but link building is also an important process in SEO. This Process helps us to drive more traffic on our website and spreads our blog/site widely on the internet. Today we are going to discuss about building backlinks. So, below I write the detail about backlinks and its various kinds.
Kinds of Backlinks
There are two kinds of backlinks. First one is DoFollow Backlinks and Second one is NoFollow Backlinks. Below I detailed these both kinds of backlinks. You must read them and understand them completely.
DoFollow Backlinks
DoFollow links are those which are created by rel=’dofollow’ attribute. Search engine’s crawler crawls the content of your blog/site. When they will come on a backlink, They will check that is it DoFollow Backlink or NoFollow Backlink. So if the backlink is DoFollow then they will follow the link and land on another web page for crawling. That is why every webmaster wants to increase his/her blog/site’s DoFollow Backlinks and it helps in improving Google PR and Alexa Rank.
NoFollow Backlinks
NoFollow links are those links which are created with rel=’nofollow’ attribute. So if the backlink is created with the NoFollow attribute, then the search engine’s crawler will ignore it because this attribute does not allow the crawler to follow that link.
Increase Backlinks of your Site/Blog?
There are a lot of ways to build and increase backlinks for your blog/site. Here I share some most useful ways of increasing backlinks.
Guest Posting
This is one of the best way to increase specially DoFollow backlinks. In this method, You have to submit a post to any blog as a guest post and that site will give you one or two DoFollow Backlinks with your bio. This method not only increase your backlinks, but you can also get traffic from that blog where you have submitted guest post. Before submitting a guest post you must follow the guest posting rules otherwise your post will not be published.
Quality and Unique Content
You should always use to write quality and unique content because people love to explore new and interesting things. Google also loves unique content. If you publish unique content on your blog, then the user or visitor might share that content via social bookmarking which is also helpful to get traffic from social networking.
Forum Posting
There are a lot of forums on the internet from where you can get quality backlinks. You need to join those forums and then reply some threads. Once you become the member of that forum, Then you can put your blog name in the signature. Before joining any forum, you must check that forum has a good Google Page Rank and that forum gives you a dofollow link in signature. This will help you in spreading your blog on that forum and you will get quality backlinks and traffic from that forum.
Blog Commenting
Blog commenting is also one of the best way to increase backlinks to your blog. This method not only increase your blog’s backlinks, but also make you visible on other blogs. Before commenting on other blogs make sure that they are using a CommentLuv comment form because this comment form automatically add your one recent post in a comment if you have added the URL of your blog before submitting comments. You can also add your backlink in your comment manually if that blog is not using CommentLuv.
Social Media Promotion
Social networking is also one of best and important way to get quality backlinks and traffic to your blog. Social networking sites have generally high page rank and most visited by people around the world. You have to join some social networking sites and post or share your articles on those sites. By this, You will need a good amount of traffic and backlinks to your blog.
Originally, when PageRank was patented by Google’s founders, all links on any web page ‘cast a vote’, i.e. they forwarded PageRank to the site they linked to. Then, esp. because commenting threatened to dilute the PR of sites allowing or inviting comments, the nofollow attribute was introduced. It wasn’t standard HTML and the only reason for its existence really is to suppress PR leaks via comments! If most blogs use it, then how can commenting contribute to PageRank? If it doesn’t, why is it still recommended as a backlinking strategy explicitly? (I know it may drive traffic, if readers of the respective blog follow it – but that is not backlinking, it is just enhancing traffic for a short time, i.e. as long (or short) as the blog post and that particular comment still has readers.)
