It is vitally important that your website gets a high search engine ranking if you want a good flow of traffic. By search engine ranking, I mean where your website is listed in search results when particular keywords are entered in the search box. Almost 80% of the people who access the Internet use a search engine to find what they are looking for. Google is the most commonly used search engine and the others follow nearly the same process for ranking a website.

The number of backlinks to your website are considered by search engines when ranking your website in search results. Backlinks are the links on other websites through which people can visit your website. There are two significant advantages to backlinks. One is that when someone clicks on a link, you immediately get targeted traffic. Secondly, the more these links are clicked, the higher your search engine ranking position becomes, and even more traffic is created! There are many ways to build backlinks that will not cost you a dime.

There are many ways to accomplish free link building. One of the most commonly used methods is posting interesting comments in DoFollow blogs. These are blogs which allow you to post a link back to your site in your comment. Make sure your comments are interesting, add value to the readers and are relevant to the topic being discussed. If you make irrelevant statements with sole intent of posting your link, your post will be deleted by the blog’s anti-spam filters.

Another popular way to build free backlinks is with social bookmarking. There are a number of social bookmarking sites that allow you to post a bookmark of your website along with a brief description about it. Bookmark your website with an interesting summary and you create backlinks through which people will click and visit your site.

Submitting articles to article directories is one of the the best ways to promote backlinks. Write an interesting article about a topic that is of value to your readers and relevant of your website. At the end of the article, include a resource box with a descriptive summary about your website and a link to it. After reading your compelling article, the reader should be left wanting more information and click on the link to visit your site.

Posting on forums is also a great way of building backlinks. Here too, your postings should be relevant to the discussion. If you are starting a new thread, be sure to make it interesting to encourage further posts. Your digital signature should have a link to your website. In DoFollow forums, you can put your link in the post itself.
