Backlinks, also called inbound links, are the lifeblood to high search engine rankings. In this article I’m going to give you 7 super easy methods for getting free one way backlinks.

A backlink is simply a link from one website that leads back to another website. Ideally, you want the website containing the link to be well established with high quality and relevant content. The higher the page rank of the page containing the backlink the better.

So let’s get started with a brief overview of 7 ways to get free one way backlinks.

1. Online Article Marketing – Simply write short articles on your topic and submit them to top article directories such as ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, etc. At the end of your article include a resource box containing a link back to your site.

2. Social Bookmarking – This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get backlinks and drive traffic to your website. I use OnlyWire, a free service that rocks for social bookmarking. After installing Only Wire and setting up my accounts at social bookmarking sites, I simply click the Only Wire button and BOOM… It will bookmark my page to over 30 social bookmarkng and social networking sites.

3. Online Video – You should be doing online video marketing anyway because it is so effective. TO get a backlink, make sure to start the description with “http://www.yourdomain.com” and it will become a clickable link.

4. Commenting – Leaving content rich comments on relevant blogs, videos and forums that get high traffic will not only get you backlinks but lots of traffic as well. And you’ll build up your credibility and expert status in your niche.

5. Press Releases – Write and submit press releases, either free or paid.

6. Content Sharing Sites – Create Hubpages, Squidoo lenses, etc. These sites provide high quality backlinks and can also generate significant traffic as well.

7. Yahoo Answers – Search for questions on your niche and answer with valuable information. Again, you’ll not only get a free one way backlink, but more traffic too.

Getting backlinks has never been easier. Set a goal to get backlinks on a consistent basis and watch your search engine rankings soar.
