How to Get Backlinks for Blogspot

How to Get Backlinks for Blogspot thumbnail
Use Blogspot to share what's on your mind and create a blogging platform.

Backlinks provide higher rankings in search engines because Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines see these links as a vote for your site. Backlinks are links that come from other websites back to yours. Google considers a site with plenty of votes useful to visitors and assumes it provides interesting and original content, if other sites link to it. Because sites with a high number of backlinks receive higher placement in search engine rankings, they enjoy free organic traffic. Backlinks work for Blogspot, Google's blogging platform, which allows registered users to create a free blog on any topic they wish.

      Submit articles to directories. Articles are an effective method to build backlinks to your site, as content submitted to major article directories is often syndicated by additional sites. Therefore, if you write an interesting article with engaging content, it is likely to be picked up by webmasters searching for content to add to their sites or ezines. When republishing articles from directories to their sites, they are required to include your byline, or "resource box" that contains an anchor text link back to your blog.

      Create a guest post for highly ranked blogs. Writing a post for a blog post with high page rank is a win-win situation for both you and the other blogger involved. He will receive free content for his blog; in return, you receive a valuable backlink from a highly ranked page. Page rank is part of the Google system, named after Google founder Larry Page, which uses an undisclosed algorithm to determine the importance of a website. One link from a highly ranked page is worth more than dozens of links that have a PR of "0" or "1." Some browsers allow add-ins to see Google's page rank of a site (see Resources).

      Give awards. Search through other blogs for interesting topics related in some way to your niche. Make a list of those you find most useful. These should also be blogs frequently updated with relevant content. Design or ask a professional to design an award badge in Photoshop or another graphics program. Make a post linking to the winning blogs, and describe in detail features of each blog, and why you think it is valuable to visitors. Contact the owner of each blog via their Blogger profile, and inform them you have awarded a badge for their blogging achievements. The owner may decide to place the badge in the sidebar of his blog to show his readers your post where he received a reward, or he might link to the post via a text link. While a link back is not guaranteed, Bloggers are often enthusiastic to display awards and return "link love."
