how can I get back links

[Adam_Watson]

Hello,

Actually I have A E-commerce website and I need back link for this www.stationerydirect.co.uk website what should I do.

 

[fisicx]

Same way as youi would to get more visitors - work at it. Two hours aday 7 days a week submitting to all the directories you can find, twittering, blog commenting, forum posting, bookmarking and so on. Not that they will do you much good as the competition is way ahead of you.

You are going to come up with some other cunning plan to attract visitors.

I have recently been doing this for my site. The one key factor I have found is that 1 good backlink is worth 1,000 directories and the type of backlinks that 'SEO Experts' get you. And as the owner / manager / person in charge of the website for your company, you will know the best sites to be listed on.

The website I'm optimising has a lot to do with construction materials, and since getting 10 links from major sites in the industry I've seen a huge surge up the rankings. When I was paying £1k a month to a company who had ways of getting me loads of backlinks I didn't see much improvement at all. All they tried to do was research the least competitive key phrases in my market and tell me I should optimise for them because it made their life easier.

So you need to find out the most important sites to you, and pay / submit news / submit expert analysis / special offers or whatever you can to get linked from those sites.

You also need to download something called 'Advanced Web Ranking' to accurately measure your results.

Since using this software to monitor progress, binning on the experts and concentrating on the best sites I have risen up 82 places across my 16 'ultimate keywords'.

Just type in your competiitors web address into link diagnosis and copy as many as you can.

blog commenting is an effective way to link build. Search in Google for blogs on topic to your site. If you place your keyword as the anchor text its much more effective. In blogs you usually use the name box to put your keyword and that becomes the link back to your site.

goto fastblogfinder.com for more help, i think they still have a free version!

(i own an seo company and this is one of the approaches we take)

Whilst there can be some limited benefit to blog commenting it's not effective in the majority of caes. Have you ver heard of the no-follow atribute?

 

[mikerocky]

How funny, perhaps if you had a team of 10 people working for you doing this you'd know that fast blog finder allows you to find only blogs without the no-follow attribute!

 

[fisicx]

Yes but it still doesn't make blog commenting a particularly worthwhile activity. The more you spam the blogs the lower the value of those comments. Agree there may be some minor benefit for low competion keywords but it's a pretty poor use of one's time (along with social bookmarking) as there are far more effective ways of promoting a website.

 

[mikerocky]

There are still some blogs out there that haven't been totally spammed and when they are in the same niche of the site that is being promoted, we've had some very good results. Blog commenting should be used as part of a balanced approach, but it's a good thing for a newbie to do especially if they can promote their product in conversation too!

Compared to what? I bet a bit of on-site work would have far greater long term benefits than a few hundred blog comments.

Blog commenting should be used as part of a balanced approach

This I would agree with but not for SEO. Comment because you have something to say not to promote yourself.

 

[mikerocky]

lol says the man who pays for signature to advertise. I've got enough clients thanks

I guess we disagree on the whole blog commenting thing, it works for us and we run some very large campaigns. When you start competing on keywords that have over 100 million competing sites you have to focus on link building not just on site.

 

[MASSEY]

I agree blog comments help if you can find the right sort of blogs. They are no good if there are 300 comments linking to loads of sites. If you can find ones that have not been spammed to death and are do follow they help. But blog commenting should be a small part in my opinion blogs get deleted comments can be removed etc.

Agree the quality of the links is all important, not the number of links – my site's ranking was improved substantially by a few good links from "quality" sites via article writing and blogging (not blog commenting).

This and all the other things mentioned by fisicx: twittering, commenting, bookmarking etc but that does take time and where do you find the time if you are running a business?

I use someone else to article-write/blog for me but you need to understand SEO a bit yourself for this to work.

 

Well my background is product management and business to business marketing.
In my view there is no real shortcut. Once you have good copy on your site then the key is really quality links from relevant sites. In my view there is relatively little advantage from submitting lots of links to various pages on your site to the numerous free and paid directories.

Also remember with regards to your copy make sure it converts - right for the potential customer not just google search engine bots ,crawlers whatever you want to call them.

Blog commenting is in my view useful if that blog gets lots of traffic and that traffic actually reads all the comments.

I offer various services myself on a freelance basis including copywriting (on and off -line, competitor analysis - on and off line , design work and more)

AS WITH ALL MARKETING THE KEY IS ALWAYS TO BE CUSTOMER CENTRIC-TELL THEM AND GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT BETTER OR CHeAPER OR BOTH THAN YOUR RIVAL/s.
