We already have SEO definition and the SEO link definition. Now is the time to show you all the known ways of getting the backlinks. I think we can put it into a few smart sections:

By making seo backend on your own

This is the most timeconsuming way to get your own Link Power. Everything that you have to do on this way is just making new sites. Similar to the one that you are optimizing, perhaps. From the fastest projects like SEO directories, through the blogs and forums, to social services. It will be good for you if you create worthful things, because that can make bonus traffic for our “base” sites. Ok, let’s say it - not at all, you can throw a tone of worthless content (…like seo directories?) and nobody will be angry…

By making worth content

Definitely best solution. Throwing quality worth content is hard to attain, but if you hit it, you will receive huge traffic and BOMB of incoming links. You can shoot a photo of some flying dog and send it to Digg, or develop some POP toll like this one.

By using SEO directories

It’s a great source of incoming links to your sites. You have to know that SEO directories are used only by 2 kinds of visitors. First, search engine bots, and the second - guys interested in SEO, like you

By using text link exchange programs

It’s good topic for another post. In short - if you use link exchange programs, you waste your link power of your sites, but you save up your time. Yes, you waste your SEO link power. First reason - you never know which links you’ll get. The second - age of every link has some value for search engines.

By manual exchange of links

It’s very timeconsuming job, but manual exchange of links with thematic sites will give you a BOMB of seo link power. Just remember to check your links (they like to disappear ) once a week, and always exchange with Three Way Linking scheme below. You have to know that reciprocal links (two way links to and from websites) get to suck for SEO. Don’t you trust me? See an article about reciprocal links on Wikipedia!.

By wasting your money

Of course you are able to buy text links for SEO, why not, you can spend a lot of money for it. One link on the site with PR5 costs 50 USD per month, so I wish you having fun with it.
