5 Great Ways to get FREE One Way Backlinks to Your Site

One way backlinks play a very important part in any website´s success. The more one way backlinks are pointing to your site, the higher your Google Pagerank will be and the more traffic you will get. This in turn should increase your sales, your income from ads, etc.

But there is one problem. Getting the right kind of quality one way backlinks from sites with high pageranks is by no way an easy task, and in this article i shall tell you about some of the best ways to get those free one way backlinks:

1. Write as much quality content as you can. This will encourage readers to link to your site. The more useful (and original) information you post, the higher the likelihood that people will link to it. But unfortunately, this method can take a while before it begins to pay off because like most of the new websites you won't get much traffic.

2. Write long (around 500-900 words) quality articles and submit them to top article directories like ezinearticles, GoArticles, ArticleCity and DropJack. The great advantage in this is that you'll not only get a backlink from high pagerank directories, but your articles will be used on other people's sites with a backlink to your site as well.

3. Participate in forums and discussion boards that are related to your website's niche and always add a link to your site in the signature. And make sure that you write quality posts, not spam. This will also help you get increased traffic to your site.

4. There is absolutely nothing wrong in getting a backlink from a related blog post you take the time to comment on. This is one of the most effective ways of one way link building, especially if you comment on blogs often. Comment on blogs related to your niche with a link back to your site as your signature - and again, do not spam.

5. Submit your site link to all of the major web directories. Getting listed in directories related to your site will not only bring you tons and tons of targetted traffic, but will also improve your search engine rankings. Some of these popular directories your site should get listed in are the DMOZ directory and the Yahoo directory. You can submit your link to both paid and free directories – it is certainly worth your time.
