Since Google took over the ranking of sites, backlinks became a fundamental component of the most working SEO tactics.

So far link building is a vital strategy for any rocking blogger; this training tutorial will discuss 7 instrumental ways to build quality backlinks for your website.

Article Marketing

For a couple of years now, article marketing has been a laudable strategy for building quality backlinks on a blog/website.

For the fact that this strategy suffices, there are a couple of things you need to bear in mind while building backlinks via article marketing. Most importantly, you must ensure you do it only on niche-related websites/blogs.

For instance, if you are a freelance writing company, you must publish posts on article directories that are targeting the freelancing niche.

While promoting your website/blog through article marketing, you must leverage what is called “Anchor text” so that visitors can be redirected to your site from wherever your posts are found. Without leveraging anchor texts the right way, your link becomes fruitless.

Aside from making judicious use of anchor texts, you must also ensure that you submit your posts to notable and high PR article directories that are targeting similar and related niches. Try as much as possible to also submit to “Dofollow” article directories.
