Killer Ways to Build Backlinks | The Ultimate Guide | Part - 1

In previous posts/articles, we have given focus on

• "What are Backlinks – its importance and effect on SEO", then
• "How Backlinks improve SEO?"

And now in this post/article, I am going to share (over 100+) "Ways to build/make quality Backlinks". This guide is divided into 4 parts. While building backlinks, you should keep quality of links and anchor text variation in your mind. Instead of creating lots of backlinks to your homepage only, start working on building links to internal pages. You can start working on resource pages like "WordPress guide" and build links to them. This way, you can also target Single or double word Keywords easily. Before, I start with my list of Ways of building Backlinks, here are some of the link building methods that you should ignore:

• Avoid site wide link from footer (WordPress themes or plugins).
• Avoid buying exact anchor text link (Keep a proportion of 40%-20%–20%-10%-10% for anchor text variation).
• Avoid buying bulk links from sites like Fiverr.
• Don't opt for link networks (Build my rank was one of such private link network, which got penalized).
• Avoid BlogRoll links.
• Article directory links are not that effective anymore

Later on, I will provide a full list of link building mistakes that must be avoided. Before you build any links - You need to sign up for Google's Webmaster Tools and know about anchor text, IP's, NoFollow vs. DoFollow, etc.
