5 Great Methods to Build Authority Links
A lot of people are asking on how to build authority links to their websites so they can rank well in search engines and gain a lot of traffic. Building backlinks is a great way to increase your PR and have authority over other websites when ranking in search engines. Also, you should put in mind to choose those of related to your website and are quality sites, it’s just like “Quality over Quantity”. So, here are some methods on how to build authority links and increase your link popularity:
- Social Communities
Social Bookmarking is one of the most common way to build easy and quick backlinks to your websites. There are a lot of social bookmarking sites to choose from so you should choose wisely and not use all of the to save time, you should choose those that are dofollow. Social Bookmarking is not the only option, you can also join a forum and post the link to your website in your profile and get backlinks from high PR websites. You can also use social communities that allows you to make a free blogs and build some backlinks to your main site. - Forum Commenting
Forum commenting is another great way of building backlinks to your website via your signature. Some forums don’t allow signature so choose those forums that allow you to add signatures so you can put a link to your site there. Some best forums that i know are DigitalPoint, SitePoint, and there are a lot of other forums that you can choose from. Some doubt this method and think don’t have much value but a lot of websites are ranking very well because of their large amount of backlinks in forums so i know that this builds authority links. - Blog Commenting
I don’t use much blog commenting because i prefer joining social communities but blog commenting is also a great way of building backlinks to your website, especially if you are commenting on a high PR website. You can also get a link from their homepage if the site offers a “list of top commentators” in their homepage, so comment a lot so you’ll be in the list. Be careful when doing blog commenting, you should make sure that your comments are valuable and related to the post you are commenting so you’ll not get spammed. - Be a Guest Contributor
There are a lot of sites that accept guest posts as long as you have a good article. You can choose some good sites that you like and write about them and at the bottom, you can leave your link. You can choose those sites that are really good so the site will accept your guest post. Also, make sure to write formal email so you’ll have a bigger chance to be accepted. - Article Marketing
Article Marketing is another great way of building backlinks but you should be careful when submitting one same article to a lot of article directories because Google now penalizes duplicates so what can you do about it? Choose only the best articles directories so you don’t have to submit to a lot of articles directories.
