Backlinks

I’m often asked what Backlinks are and what the purpose is in having multiple Backlinks. The implementation is easy once you understand the process.

Here are a few simple steps:

Once you add a new post to your blog, you should go to LinkedIn, join several groups that relate to your blog topic and make a comment on others’ comments that are in the group. Be sure to include a Backlink (your website address)

You also want to do the same on Facebook, leave a “Share” message and be sure to include your link.

The other sites you want to be sure to place a notice about your post are MySpace and Twitter.

All of these sites can be posted directly to through HootSuite.com. You can add each access sites details to HootSuite, type one message and it will be placed on each of the above mentioned sites. It is a great time saver.

Once you have set up HootSuite, it takes less than a minute to notify each of the sites that you’ve updated your blog.

The back links add credibility to your blog. Facebook is the number 2 ranked website in the world, according to Alexa rankings. Alexa’s toolbar will show you more relative data about your website activity than Google’s ranking system. Alexa will even break it down by US versus International rankings.
