Backlink Tool: Your Own Backlinks
BACKLINK TOOL: YOUR OWN BACKLINKS
So just what is a backlink? It is a link on another site that leads to your own. It’s extremely important to garner a large number of backlinks for several reasons. The ranking of your page on search engines is determined by the number and quality of backlinks to your site, providing they occur naturally (you have not purchased them). Second, backlinks are how you get known on the Internet. If many other sites provide a link to yours, a natural increase in traffic to your web pages occurs. I will give you some backlink ideas a little later in this article.
Search engines generally look at the number of backlinks to decide where to put that page in the search results.
BACKLINK SOURCES You can look at backlinks like votes – the higher the quantity of votes (backlinks) the more of an authority the page is considered by the search engine. Backlinks from authoritative sites will get more consideration from the search engines. You really do not want to use a backlink building service to do this.
GOOGLE PAGE RANK
Google uses the concept of ‘page rank’. This is the property it attaches to a page it considers to have a history of accumulating content from backlinks. This is figured using algorithms, and is quite a complex method.
HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN BACKLINKS
Since we are on the subject of backlinks, here are some of the things I do to create them naturally. Ironically, it is really just a part of your internet marketing strategy. I do not recommend, nor do I use any backlink software to have backlinks put on other sites. Here is a very easy way to create your own backlinks:
1. I always look up the keywords for my subject. You can do that here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal 2. Usually I try to start with a top level keyword or key phrase which has a good amount of visitor traffic. 3. At that point, I make a list of these keywords. I like to get 4 or 5 of them to use. 4. Then I create my article, video, etc. using the group of keywords I have researched. 5. When I create my content I do so with the reader in mind so as each piece of content attracts backlinks to itself as well as sends backlinks to the page I want people to visit. I really strive to do this, as someone doing a search may hit one of the keywords I have listed. Thus it will be easier to find what I have published.

So to summarize it all, backlinks are simply links of yours that are on some other website. Also, take advantage of the suggestions I have given to create your own backlinks. If your creating backlinks naturally in your internet marketing campaign, the issue of backlinks is one you will not have to worry about.
Can Link Building Services Help You Be Successful
That doesn’t mean it’s a perfect solution, as there are some down sides to link building. It can be a time consuming process, there is an element of frustration that often goes with it, and it requires creativity and patience if you want to reach the goals you have set. The good news is that there link building services that take care of all of it for you, allowing you to reap the benefits without having to do the unpleasant work that’s normally involved with link building.
Try even a quick online search for link building services and you will have no trouble finding one, or even hundreds. Their goal is to get you, their customer, on the first page of results in the major search engines. You will also notice that the range of prices varies widely among services. And because it’s not always entirely clear what you will get for your investment, it can be tricky to choose the best one.
The basic thing the link building services should be doing is linking to your site and promoting your site in various ways. These are things that take up a lot of time, and if you’re just beginning, may not know how to do yet.
Here is a small sample of some of the services you can choose from:
Backlink Solutions has different levels of services. If you want more links from the better sites, then it will cost more. They also offer social bookmarking to help your site gain more popularity. This is one of the areas of building links that takes a bit of finesse, so it’s often better to leave it to the experts.
Another service is Unique Article Wizard. What sets them apart is the incredible amount of links generated for you in a short time. The catch is that it involves you submitting articles, and there is a learning curve. But once you get the hang of it, you may actually have to be careful that you’re not getting too many backlinks.
As a word of caution, you should know that the search engines consider the use of such services as gaming the system. Not all services will get you penalized, but you should do a bit of research to make sure you’re not doing more harm than good with a particular service. Most link building services use their own software, or a team of people to submit your links. Either way, these service will be around for as long as they get results for the people who use them, and those who don’t use them are at a disadvantage to those who do.
