Getting backlinks to your site without spending a penny

Recent google PR update has severely punished sites for selling links; either directly or through paid reviews. It means any sort of links, either bought or sold would do only harm to your site and no good. Such links have done no good to webmasters who have purchased links.

It is not that getting links have become passé. Even today, links help in getting higher PR and traffic. But only genuine links do help.

Few common methods to get links that won’t harm your site are:

1. Signatures: Use signatures at the end of every email you send out, or in forum posts.
2. Leave comments on other websites. Remember to leave meaningful comments, which supplement the content of the page. This would help webmasters too as they do get user generated content and your comments, where useful would help them get higher traffic too.
3. Submit your website to directories. There are many human directories that can add your site in their relevant index. Most directories that are doing well offer paid inclusion. Others that are free, turn into paid model as and when they start getting high traffic. Still this model, gets you high quality link and traffic too.
4. Write and syndicate articles and include your url link in the resource box.
5. Write reviews about webmasters or send them content for their website with condition that they give you link in the Author Information Section.
6. 10. Communicate with whoever you represent as an affiliate.
