What is a backlink?
Backlinks are a link to your website from another website. The search engines love these. When they see the link on someone else's site it sends the spiders over to your site and they index your site getting it placed on a search engine organically instead of you going over and entering it. This way is preferred by the search engines.
Where do I put backlinks?
You can put backlinks in any number of locations. You can use them in signatures in forums, you can pay for them, but today we are talking about putting them in blogs.
You find a blog that is about a similar topic as what you will be linking to. You read the blog and then you make an insightful and meaningful comment to the post. When you are finished with your post you also put a link to the site you want the search engines to go look at. (and the other people reading the blog for that matter) :)
How do I make a backlink?
Do make a backlink it takes a couple steps. (they're real easy don't worry)
1. Know your url. If you want your link to send people to the front page, or to a specific article or blog post, make sure you have the specific url for that. For example it might be the difference between http://real-traffic.blogspot.com which is the main page of my personal blog or this: http://real-traffic.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO%20Techniques which is a specific post.
2. Now you need a little html magic. You will need to use this html code to make a link: Your keyword
3. You will need a keyword for your link. Don't use a keyword that is in the title of your blog/article/website, because the search engines will already see it in your url. Choose something else that is relevant to where you are sending people. For example, using the above post I might use the key word The Magic Happens.
Let's use the example from my blog and I'll show you what it looks like, in code and then the way it appears in the comment.
