Many times I get asked what the best way to get links from other sites. Do Follow comments provide some of the best links back into your site if done properly. Here’s a quick rundown:
Find some blogs or forums with high page rank that are do-follow (meaning the code is written such that the search engines will follow the link to your site)
Leave a comment or post with a link to your site, preferably in anchor text.
Things to do to ensure effective backlinks:
Leave valuable comments – there is NOTHING a webmaster hates more than spammy comments.
Comment on relevant posts to the content on your site.
Build slowly – Google looks at backlinks over time, if you all of a sudden have 500 in one day it looks fishy-spread them out over time.
How to find these links – I have launched a brand new site called SEMAddict.com – we have a free instructional video outlining a method on how to find the best pages for backlinking.
