Link popularity is important to your website receiving the maximum amount of traffic. This is because the search engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN look for other websites linking to your website to help determine how popular your website is. The more outside websites that link to your website, the higher your link popularity is and therefore the more traffic you will receive from the search engines.
You can start building your link popularity today with a few simple steps. There are paid methods to do this, as well as free methods. Most beginning webmasters will want to start with free methods before moving onto paid methods.
One way to begin building your link popularity is with blogs. Not your own blog, but by using other people’s blogs. It’s a simple process that you can begin right now to increase you backlinks.
Go to Google’s blog search and simply enter in a term related to your site. You’ll receive a list of blog posts about the topic you entered. You’ll next visit these sites.
Commenting is always available on blogs. So to build links, you’ll read the article to make sure it’s relevant to your website. Then you’ll find the ‘Comments’ link and add a comment about the blog post.
You’ll fill out the required fields within the commenting area. It usually asks for your email addy, name (you can just put your first name if you want) and, if you have one, a website address. This is the most important field, so make sure you fill it out completely.
Next you leave your comment in the larger text box. You’ll not want to “spam” the site by leaving what is basically a promotional message for your own site. If you do that, the blog owner will probably mark it as “Spam” and it will disappear.
What’s important is to ensure that the comment you leave is actually interesting and contributes to the conversation already going on at the blog. Saying something nice about what the blog author wrote is always a good idea, people love compliments. You can even take part in discussion that’s already going on with other people that have left comments.
Once your comment is complete, hit the “Submit” button. Some blogs will publish your comment immediately and you will be able to see it, and your link, right away. Some blogs will hold your comment for manual approval by the blog owner; in this case, you may receive a message that your comment is being held in moderation.
Go through all the blogs listed in Google’s blog search that you found on your topic. Leave comments on all that you can that are relevant to your topic. The more blogs that you leave comments on, the more you are building your link popularity.
This is a simple, free way to being immediately begin building your link popularity today. If you repeat the process weekly, or even daily, you’ll find new blogs listed for you to leave comments on. By repeating this process on a regular schedule you’ll be able to build your backlinks over time.
