To increase the rank of your webpage with search engines, it is necessary to create backlinks. There are several ways to get free quality backlinks online.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Backlinking from Blogs

    There are three ways to get backlinks from blogs. If you have your own blog you can add links to your webpages directly from your blog post.

    Another way to get dofollow backlinks is to ask other bloggers to blog about your website. Offer them something in return for their generosity.

    You can also get blog backlinks by leaving comments on the blogs of others. If you want to leave comments for creating backlinks, remember to leave only well thought out comments. Short messages of no value with an URL are considered spam. Also, some blogs require comments to be approved, so there is not guarentee that your comment will ever be seen if not approved.

  2. Step 2

    Backlinking from Social Networking Sites

    You can use social networking websites like Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace to build dofollow backlinks. However, because social networking websites often require login to view the content they are not accessible to search engines as dofollow links. If a profile is publicly accessible without login on these social networking websites, then the backlinks with help pagerank. Use your existing account or set up a new account. If you are using an existing account, it is a good idea to clean up your profile making it relavent to your website.

  3. Step 3

    Backlinking from Social Bookmarking Sites

    The five most popular social bookmarking websites are Twitter, Digg, Yahoo Buzz, Stumble Upon, Reddit. Twitter and Yahoo Buzz are nofollow. Digg and StumbleUpon are dofollow, but use of toolbars and redirects make them somewhat useless for backlinks. They are still good for traffic. Backlink submissions to social bookmarking websites work best if you participate in the community. Be a good friend to others and your backlinks will do well at these websites. Here are the top 5 dofollow social bookmarking websites by pagerank:

    Technorati
    Slashdot
    Reddit
    Mixx
    Propeller

  4. Step 4

    Backlinking from Articles

    You can write articles and creat webpages to backlink to your website. Three of the top places to do this are Ezine.com, Squidoo.com, and HubPages.com. Some article directories, such as eHow, allow do follow backlinks from the author profile. But, backlinks added directly to the articles are designated nofollow if outside eHows website.

    Ezine articles do not earn you any money, but they are great for traffic and backlinks.

    Squidoo requires you to set up lenses, they pay a small amount for the traffic you generate to their website. In addition, you get great backlinks and increased traffic to your website. Squidoo currently has no limit to the number of backlinks you can create on a lens, but they are considering limiting the number of outbound links allowed on each lens.

    HubPages has dofollow backlinks only if your overall hubscore is above 75. Write great hubs and log in regularly to increase your hubscore.
