Backlinks are basically any link placed on another website that links back to your website. One essential element of ranking high in Search Engines is Building high quality Backlinks. Quality of backlinks is usually judged by how high the Page Rank (PR) is of that certain website your link is placed on. More high quality back links will bring in even more visitors and will help you achieve a greater ranking in SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

Blog Comments to Build Backlinks
Blog site commenting is a simple method to produce backlinks. Some blogs and blog authors will not approve your comments. Below are some wonderful tips to help get your comments approved on websites and blogs which then will generate your backlink.

2. Do not add links in your remark body. There is usually a place where you can add your website address when you are commenting.

Site Submission to Web Directories
A web directory is a website broken down into categories and subcategories. Usually you have to submit your website and it will be reviewed and possibly added to the directory based upon certain criteria. General directories and niche directories are two basic types of directories. Directories are given terrific importance for their online search engine friendliness and the quality of back links.
Web Directory sites are primarily reliable sources of quality one-way backlinks. Submitting to directories are only useful if they provide some direct traffic or otherwise a quality backlink. Make sure the directory has a high Page Rank (PR) before you submit your site to the directory. The web directories that can produce traffic and/or give you “link juice” due to the high page rank are the ones you want to locate and submit your website to.
