Once you get your website posted online with all the content included, it would be easy to sit on your laurels and wish that the hard work was over. Sadly this is not the case. Now you must get backlinks to your new site in order to get the traffic started pouring in. Back links are a proven way to not only get plenty of traffic, but also increase your page rank in the search engine listings. If you would like a few ideas to get you started, then you will enjoy the effectiveness of the following tips.

Some people have more money than time, and they are well suited to hire someone else to do the work for them. By hiring an SEO company to place your links, you can be free to work on other areas of your site. Before you hire anyone to do work for your website, be sure you check them out well. The last thing you want is to hire someone who does you more harm than good.

Forums can provide an excellent source of quality back links. You already know what niche your website covers, so all you have to do is find related forums and join. You want to leave your link in both your profile and your form signatures. Always follow proper forum etiquette by making a few posts before you actually place a link in your signature file. Also be sure to contribute good information when you make a post. Otherwise everything you post will be deleted, along with your account.

Blogs are a great place to leave your link. With a simple search you should find blogs which complement your site, where you will leave comments and a link back to your website. The only time you should leave a blog comment is when you have the time to make a great post. Never post a one line comment just to leave your link. Blog owners do not like this and will simply delete your comments.

Article marketing is a back link building champion. Article directories might be the perfect place to leave back links in order for them to get crawled by the search engines. Since these sites are updated regularly with content the search engines revisit them quite frequently. You also get the added benefit of people re-posting your articles on their site

Careful keyword research will reward you when placing your keyword in the title of your article, and in the first and last paragraph. You will be able to put your website link in the article resource box. Make your articles informative and you will get traffic from them for years.

People love to get things for free. Web templates are one of the hottest items you can use as a free gift which also will give you a back link. By creating both HTML templates and WordPress themes, you'll be able to have your link embedded in the footer. Whenever someone chooses to use your templates you will get an automatic back link. This gives your back linking a viral twist and is quite effective.

To get traffic to your new site you need to get backlinks. With these top suggestions you should never have to worry about having enough backlinks.
