By Vichaya Kiatying-Angsulee

Back links to a blog is essential when it comes to ranking well in the search engines. Tons of links to your blog from various sites points that your blog is popular and it boosts your search engine rankings to the next level. Its not always easy to get to the top of the search engines when you are starting out new and especially in a competitive niche.

Tons of hard work is needed to rank well in the search engines. Why I am focusing on search engines because people who happens to come to your site/blog through search engines tends to acknowledge your site better than those who come through other links because they are already searching for the stuff they want and most probably they tend to browse more. If they find the content useful and informative. So make sure every content is top notch and well structured.

Writing guest post in other blogs of the same niche, submitting articles to various directories, commenting on do-follow blogs, contributing in forums can all prove helpful in increasing the number of back links to your blog. Higher the Google Page Rank(which is a number which indicates the popularity of the blog/site) for the site the better is your site going to be ranked. Links from higher PR sites can positively impact your search engine ranking.

Social networking sites like Facebook, twitter are not useful as all the links have no-follow attribute but they can used to drive traffic to your blog. Link exchange between bloggers is a popular way to get back link fast here the two bloggers link to each other under some agreement between them. Comment which methods do you use to get back links to your blog, I would like to know about it.
