You have heard it many times: To rank higher in the search engines, you have to increase the quality of links pointing to your website. This is known as backlink building and when done effectively, can take your website from obscurity to first and second page ranking.

However, you have to do this just right as doing it the wrong way will more than hurt your search engine rankings. In actual fact, it will get your website banned from the search engines. So, the question is how do you do it just right? There are actually many ways to do this including the buying of text links, directory submission and all that. But the three ways you can do that without spending a fortune is by doing the following:

- Write articles and get them submitted to article directories. Mind you that article directories with a PR –Page Rank- that is less than 3 is not worth submitting to. The very few you should go for are those with PR 5,6 and 7. These ones have high authority to the search engines and are deemed reliable. So links coming from them simply means that your website is highly reliable and can be trusted for relevant information.

- Post in forums. I do not mean that you should spam the forums. Create a signature link with your website as the link in your profile in any high traffic forum. Do not go for forums that are less than PR5.

- Use Social Bookmarking websites. Any website that is bookmarked by these websites are indexed and ranked favorably in a very short while as they are deemed reliable websites; also known as authority websites. Backlinks from these websites are extremely valuable and will help your website ranking.

So, if you want to build your backlinks, start doing all these now and you’ll start seeing tangible results in as little as one month.
