What are backlinks? Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. Backlinks enable you to keep track of other pages on the web that link to your posts. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node (Björneborn and Ingwersen, 2004). Backlinks are also called incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links.
Increasing backlinks to your site is very easy, but something that typically is totally overlooked. So many bloggers worry about why their posts/articles don’t receive any comments… where in reality you should be only worried about commenting on other blog sites. Commenting is the key to increasing backlinks. For every comment you leave on another blog site, eventually this will count as a backlink. It does take time for Google to account for the link and attribute the backlink back to your site. It seems like once every four months is when Google updates their PageRank. But again, its just a matter of time before Google does find the pages you comment on.
Additionally, as these pages that you comment on increase in their own PageRank, so will your page that links from these pages. Commenting on other sites is very important towards increasing backlinks to your site. Also it is important that you do not spam people on other sites. If you comment on another site, make sure the content reflects that high quality and unique content already found on your site. Google bots as well as people are less interested in comments that say, “Hey, nice site… I liked your article”. It is better to add your opinion, view, or suggestion in comments.
The more content you add, the more keyword groups Google will eventually tag up with your content.

Building links is very important! Great post man! Just keep building links for your site,and the traffic and visitors and subscribers will grow!
Thank you, dude. I'm starting commenting. Is it true that PageRanking will be updated every 4 months? It's a long time...
Whenever I surf Linkreferral or similar sites, I always try to visit blogs in order to possibly leave comments. This serves two purposes: it creates backlinks while accumulating credits at the same time.
