How to Add Backlinks to Your Website or Blog

Last Updated: March 10, 2023

What do backlinks have to do with a website or a blog. Why should website and blog webmasters be concerned about getting high quality backlinks? Backlinks play a huge role in getting visitors known as traffic to websites and blogs. Backlinks from different directories, blogs, websites, articles all help direct traffic to websites and blogs. This traffic translates into money and that is why high-quality backlinks are so important.

1

Find places where you can get backlinks.

You can do a Google search for high quality backlinks, but never pay for links. You can go on related forums for more information on backlinks or read the Google Link Guidelines on what is required

2

Register or sign up for the sites you find.

You'll need to create an account on each site you want to use. The registration or sign up procedure is straight forward and will usually have an activation link sent to your email.

3

Sign in to the site.

Click the activation link in your email and sign in. You might have to create a password as well.

4

Go to your profile editing screen.

Now that you are signed in, search for your profile button or control panel button (cp). Navigate to edit your profile.
- Keep in mind that each website or forum that will give you a backlink is different. In some cases, you add your URL address where indicated. In other cases, you also leave your URL address in the signature box. Still, in other cases, you leave your URL address in your bio section. It all depends and it is up to you to figure out, unless the backlinks have instructions.

5

Leave 3 links to your site with keywords.

Add up to 3 links to your signature and bio boxes. For example, key words can be: Best Ways To Make Money Online, Make Money Online From Home, Best Home Based Business. These are 3 examples of keywords that will contain the link back to the website. However, recent changes to the Google Guidelines will suggest that you don't use anchor rich keywords and you will be much better off with just a 'Click Here' or URL link.

Use HTML or BBCode if required.

Depending on the site, you may need to use codes to create links. It will be indicated. Here is an example of the HTML code: <a href="http://www.YOUR%20WEBSITE.com">KEYWORDS</a>
