    Other than reciprocal link exchanges, what are some clever or unique ways to get backlinks to your blog or site?

    Some ways that I've used include:

    Submitting articles to directories/blogs along with signature line/link
    Backlinking from free classified ad sites (do follow)
    Creating a blog network and backlinking to a main site
    Posting links from Google + posts/pages

    You missed an very important one: commenting on blogs. Be sure to stay active on your favorite blogs, this way you will create a constant stream of backlinks without much effort.

    I have a software, which checks out backlinks of any site I want, sorts all of them: platform type (WP blogs, article directories, blogs, social bookmarks...), dofollow/nofollow, OBL count, response time, Page rank... This is how I scrape for quality backlinks with a few clicks :)

    P.S.: If you have a site about SEO, making money online, Adsense, marketing and so on, I am accepting guest post. My blog is 2 months old, blog page is PR2.

    Sometime back, i used nothing but blog commenting to promote one of my blogs. Many times, I got direct traffic from those links as well as placement in search engines. But, i only used targeted blog commenting, not just mass blog commenting. And, the comments were on related blogs.

    Use Web directories
    One of the best ways to Get Backlinks is by submitting your blog to web directory services.
    This way you are letting the world know that there is something like yellow pages for your phone numbers that you can find websites using web directories.
    This will also increase your chances of getting more traffic and thereby search engine ranking.
    Submit every page or post of your website or blog to these directories and it will not take more than five minutes, depending on the amount of the blogs that you are going to submit.

    Forum Posting

    1. Posting and voicing your opinions in forums is one of the best ways to propaganda your blog posts and these forums are extremely important in playing a vital role for building back links to your websites.
    2. You have to choose forums that has do follow options, as in most of the forums the administrators do not allow do follow links.
    3. Add signature with anchor text as your keyword and start posting, please don’t spam.
    Link Baiting

    1. When you are doing this, you are fishing using a net for links.
    2. Baiting is nothing but content is specifically made for only gathering links from the other sources.
    3. Though this is used less these days, it is still considered as a good technique if used properly.

    It seems everyone already suggested everything available.
    Just be sure the site you gonna post on are quality sites. Don't always focus on dofollow links, having nofollow backlinks is a good thing too.

    these ways are not clever... They are the normal, common ways. There truly is some clever and unique ways to get links :)

    Unique ways are not really shared publicly. If it is, it will spread like fire and become common.

    Just visiting websites and leave comments.. try popular website first with higher ranking. Everyday blog comments are ok . I feel like - never can have enough backlinks
  13. Tommy Matalino Active Member

    Which is much better, this or signature links?

    I think the best way of getting good backlinks to your website is by posting good quality content on forums & blogs with a link back to your website.

    This works as long as you don't repost your content on many forums. Most admins will ban you for duplicate content.

    Also have to be on topic topic & not just random stuff for the sake of getting a link on the forum.
  18. robertman11 Administrator

    Very true.
  19. Tommy Matalino Active Member

    Some forums ban you, but some are just fine, as long as you don't copy the WHOLE article and report it there. A short intro post with a link back will just be fine.

    I've seen some people post entire articles on the forum and then link back to their blog. And, somehow that defeats the purpose as you really want people to read a sample of the article and click through to your own site, rather than stay on the forum.
