Getting Web Site Traffic Starts With Good Backlinks

Most people starting out in Making Money Online find that Getting Web Site Traffic, vis a vis good backlinks, is the hardest thing to do. Make no mistake about it, if you are a seasoned Internet Marketer, it is obviously easier for you to generate backlinks to your sites because you have most likely developed a large portfolio of websites. But how do people starting out generate backlinks that are of value?

First of all I would like to start out by mentioning that you need to focus on many forms of backlinks and not just one in order to get web traffic. Furthermore, you need to alternate your backlink text in order to avoid Google suspicion. What this means is that you need to work on backlinks from many different angles as well as using many different anchored text.

The following are a few options that I recommend:

1. Post Comments: Although I’ve mentioned previously that Post Comments do not hold much weight with Google, that’s not to say that it is completely useless. Post Comments are also a good way to alternate links back to your site to help avoid Google suspicion and keep your competition off track.
2. Create your own blogger, hubpages etc. etc.: There are literally hundreds if not thousands of sites out there that will let you have a blogger account for free. There are many Internet Marketers that use this method but I do need to point out a few things with using these types of blog accounts. First, if the site goes down, or the admin of the site doesn’t like what you’re posting, you can lose all of your work and have no say in it. Second, in order to build up these blogs, you will literally need to invest many months and years creating these blogs in order to build up enough PR. PR (Google Page rank) factors in quite highly on linkbacks, that means that if you have a link from a PR8 site, for example, it will help you immensely to getting onto page 1 of Google for that specific keyword. Therefore you need to build many of these sites, and you need to keep them active and build them to generate enough PR in order to link back to your money site.
3. Article Marketing: Article Marketing is without doubt, one of the best ways in which you can get your sites on Google Page 1. There are many websites offereing Article Marketing, but the one I use and recommend is this one. It’s a great site and best of all it’s free, meaning that you can literally build thousands of links back to your site for free. Be careful not to build up links too quickly or you will attract Google suspicion.
4. Another site offering links is ConnectContent , granted, there is a small monthly fee of about $12.00 U.S, which is a drop in the bucket compared to other sites. Their system works on a credit system where you put links on your sites posts and get credit based on PR, this credit allows you to keep receiving backlinks from other Internet Marketers. You can generate a substantial amount of backlinks but not as much as the Article Marketing, that said, you can often get some pretty good PR3 and Up backlinks which is hard to come by on the Article Marketing spectrum.
5. Link Networks like LinkVana and Backlink Solutions: Sites like these have been the standard for many MMOers, but the problem with them is that, allegedly, Google Spies have been infiltrating these networks so the effectiveness of their backlinks may be very low.
6. Use Your Own Self-hosted Sites: I realize this is a no brainer, but if you have built up enough self hosted sites you can use those as well.

That’s it in a nutshell. As you can see, I’ve left many other forms of backlinks because I personally don’t find them useful or worth the trouble. For example, I do not recommend that you spam webmasters with link requests, I don’t recommend that you swap links with people on a one for one exchange, I do not recommend using link directories.

What I do recommend in order for you to get links and eventually generated Web Site Traffic to make money with Adsense is to get targeted backlinks from posts on other people’s or your own sites that have been optimized for certain keywords. That said, make sure you alter your keywords and the types of posts leading back to your site, don’t over-do it on the SEO spectrum because Google wants things to look natural, so keep things looking natural and you’ll be just fine.

That’s a short snippet on how to Get Web Site Traffic, I hope you enjoyed it and I’ll be writing more about this stuff in later posts.
