If you are in the SEO game then you have prob­a­bly heard this many times - get qual­ity links to your site.

This is important.

Hav­ing qual­ity back­links will help your site be­come more trust­ful and in­crease your page rank.

Even hav­ing just some qual­ity links on your site can pos­i­tively change your ranking.

Un­for­tu­nately get­ting high qual­ity links is not al­ways an easy thing to do. And for peo­ple who don’t know how to do this, it can seem al­most impossible.

In this ar­ti­cle I will be cov­er­ing is how to cre­ate your own back­links that will cre­ate good rank­ings on Google. Cre­at­ing your own link struc­ture is time con­sum­ing, but it is prob­a­bly the only way to be guar­an­teed of hav­ing au­thor­ity over your back­links. This is be­cause you will be the ac­tual owner of your links and have full con­trol over their use.

Here is an overview of the whole process. 

1. Go to an au­thor­ity sites such as free blogs, ar­ti­cle di­rec­to­ries and other sites that al­low you to of­fer con­tent, write ar­ti­cles and sub­mit them with links that go to your site.
2. Then start cre­at­ing links that go to your new articles.

Hav­ing a site that has many qual­ity back­links is bet­ter than hav­ing one with less. You will cre­ate a pow­er­ful link struc­ture that will con­nect all your articles.

You’ve prob­a­bly heard that ar­ti­cles are not as ef­fec­tive these days. Some peo­ple may tell you that your site can be pe­nal­ized if you use them.

This is not nec­es­sar­ily true. There are sites with links from ar­ti­cles that have been pe­nal­ized, but there are many that have links and are still ranked high on Google.

Why is this?

Well it is be­cause some peo­ple don’t use these tac­tics the right way. Ar­ti­cles are still a great way to get au­thor­ity links from high ranked pages and are 100% white hat.

To un­der­stand how the whole process works, let’s first get started with your main links, the ones that are from your ar­ti­cle directories.

One com­mon mis­take peo­ple make is that they will copy whole ar­ti­cles and post them in dif­fer­ent di­rec­to­ries, hop­ing that they will eas­ily in­crease their page rank. This won’t work. Links from du­pli­cated ar­ti­cles, posted in dif­fer­ent di­rec­to­ries are con­sid­ered spam. There’s a high chance that you’ll be pe­nal­ized for do­ing this.

So, all of your ar­ti­cles must be unique! 

As I’ve men­tioned, this will re­quire a lot of time, be­cause you have to write many ar­ti­cles. This pow­er­ful tech­nique will take some time be­fore you have your de­sired results.

An­other big mis­take peo­ple make is spin­ning ar­ti­cles. Ar­ti­cle spin­ning was a good and pop­u­lar way to cre­ate new ar­ti­cles, but these days it is less ef­fec­tive. Af­ter the Google Pen­guin Up­date, Google has im­ple­mented more ad­vanced al­go­rithms to check for spun con­tent. There­fore sub­mit­ting spun ar­ti­cles will pe­nal­ize your site.

You have to make sure your ar­ti­cles are not too sim­i­lar with each other. I write ar­ti­cle about paid sur­veys. One of my ar­ti­cles can be on “how to make money with paid sur­veys”, the next one on “how to find le­git­i­mate sur­veys that pay”, and so on.

Do you see the dif­fer­ence? All ar­ti­cles should be re­lated but have dif­fer­ent main pur­poses. That way you will avoid be­ing pe­nal­ized. Also, all ar­ti­cles should to be at least 400 words.

Write only qual­ity ar­ti­cles. If you are not good at writ­ing, you can hire a writer to help you cre­ate great content.

Peo­ple who read and like your ar­ti­cles will start cre­at­ing back­links to them. Keep in mind that good ar­ti­cle di­rec­to­ries usu­ally have a lot of traf­fic and by writ­ing in­ter­est­ing things for them you will eas­ily be­gin to make money through their di­rect traf­fic. While I was build­ing my links, I was able to make about $300 in sur­vey leads in the first month, even though my blog wasn’t ranked on Google!

An­other tip I can give you is to write ar­ti­cle with more words. The num­ber of words have started to paly more im­por­tant role in your SEO. For more in­for­ma­tion check this ar­ti­cle https://www.seobook.com/archives/001986.shtml

Now let’s talk about the hard­est part – get­ting back­link your ar­ti­cles. If you are in a less com­pet­i­tive niche, this is less im­por­tant for you, but if your niche is com­pet­i­tive, you need to get more links in or­der to rank in the top ten on Google. There are many ways to do this.

One of the eas­i­est and fastest ways is to start with so­cial book­mark­ing sites. Don’t add your main site to these. In­stead book­mark your ar­ti­cles. Get as many back­links to all of your ar­ti­cles as possible.

An­other pow­er­ful way is to add your ar­ti­cles to rss. This is still an ef­fec­tive way to in­crease page rank. Some peo­ple will say that it is not Pen­guin safe to do so. Ac­tu­ally it is true that rss links can sand­box your site only if you add too many links from rss in a short pe­riod of time, but that won’t hap­pen if you link your articles.

Here are some other sug­ges­tions to start build­ing your links - you can do blog com­ment­ing, fo­rum post­ing, and writ­ing new ar­ti­cles and link­ing them.

You might ask, “what is the best link struc­ture?” Be­lieve me, there is no best link struc­ture. If some­one finds the best link struc­ture it will be shared on­line and it will be banned soon from Google.

So an im­por­tant tip is to ran­dom­ize all of your work as much as you can. Think of all the fac­tors and ran­dom­ize them. For ex­am­ple think about the an­chor text. Change your an­chor every time. For my site, I’ll use one with “sur­veys,” next with “paid on­line sur­veys,” next with “make money on­line”, and then with “click here”. That way every­thing will ap­pear more natural.

Think of what kind of links you will get and try to ran­dom­ize it.

What do I mean by this? Let’s say for ex­am­ple you get ten links from so­cial book­mark­ing sites to one of your ar­ti­cles. It won’t look nat­ural to use the same links for all of your ar­ti­cles. In­stead get dif­fer­ent links. For ex­am­ple you may get 10 so­cial book­mark­ing, 30 blog com­ments, and 20 fo­rum posts for one ar­ti­cle. In the next one you may get 30 so­cial book­mark­ing, and 10 blog com­ments. Just ran­dom­ize it as much as possible.

If you want to cre­ate even more pow­er­ful back­links build your own blog net­work. You can get good re­sults with just writ­ing ar­ti­cles, but if you start link­ing your site with blogs you will get bet­ter results.

This is more time con­sum­ing of course, but works per­fectly for in­creas­ing page rank­ings. It ba­si­cally uses the same strate­gies as de­scribed above, but the dif­fer­ence is that will be cre­at­ing blogs/websites in­stead of ar­ti­cles. This is how I man­aged to get high rank­ings for many sites and blogs.
