Backlinks can give your website tremendous power (domain authority, reputation, popularity, traffic) and helps your website to fulfill its goal of successful conversions and profits.
How to create Backlinks ?
There are several ways to create backlinks to your site which are completely according to the search engine guidelines. These strategies are given below:-
Old Methods
Directory Submission – The oldest method of building backlinks. You may submit your website to quality directories in order to get a link. By quality website, I mean quality in terms of traffic and user friendliness. Site Page Rank has nothing to do with the quality of the site. Domain authority matters but every signal should be checked to judge the relevance of a website.

Note:- Directory submission still works after the Panda and the Penguin update but only for top directories.
Forum Posting– Another great way to build backlinks but this method is slowly declining. Now quality forums rarely provides instant signature links because of excessive spamming. To continue building links this way, you need to have patience, must contribute to the community before actually getting a signature link. Links from quality forums would work but again the measurement of quality relies upon several standards.
Article Submission– This method is still in used widely by almost every Seo company. Make sure you submit quality and original content on the directories in order to contribute towards the growth of the community.
Social Bookmarking– The most effective way of link building as it get you instant visits. Web 2.0 sites are a great way to share the buzz about your company. This strategy still works well. Again quality matters the most.
