In this article I am going to discuss how you can get natural links to your website that are of good quality and in line with Google terms. I’m talking about links going in to your website, not links going out. Google looks for quality, natural links and you will be penalized if you try to manipulate link getting.

Gone are the days of finding a friend and asking them to exchange links with you. You need good quality natural links.

There are ways to do this that are acceptable and also get you instant traffic as well as links back to your site for continued search engine optimization traffic.

Items

Article submissions are still a really good way to get back links, but only high-quality article sites. Many of these sites are of poor quality. Go for the best in your niche and write good quality articles.

When writing an article, remember to include a resource box at the end that links to a page on your website. Search engines follow these links and help you rank higher in search engine results.

Videos

Also posting a YouTube video with a link to your website is a good way to get high-quality links.

Forums

Another way is a forum signature. Now be careful with this one. Choose a forum that is directly related to your niche. If you register on any old forum, your link will not be from a related site and might stand out as a rigged link.

Be sure to participate in the forum and provide useful advice there.

anchor text

The text you use to link to your website is important. If you use the same keyword every time, it looks like spam. The key is to mix up the keyword phrases you use in your anchor text. Think of natural keyword phrases that people might use if they referred a friend to your website.

instant traffic

Using these types of sites to get links to your own website also gives you instant traffic from the site itself. Visitors who read your articles, watch your videos, and read your forum posts.

SEO benefits are like a bonus! That will continue to happen in the background and over time you will start to see more traffic from search engines.
