Information Intro to Backlinks

This is a short guide to backlinks. Hopefully after reading this you'll know a bit about it.

What is a backlink?

Its basically your link on another site. Like I put your link on my site. That's a backlink.

Why are backlinks important?

1. Gives you some traffic.
2. Help increase the PR of your site

The quality backlinks!

Quality backlinks are the sites that link to you and have the same topic/subject as your site. And it has a high or a better PR than you.

How to build backlinks?

1. By asking the site owner to put your link up.
2. Commenting on blogs.
3. Posting on forums and having your link in the signature

DOFOLLOW and NOFOLLOW

Before building backlinks make sure that the site doesn't have NOFOLLOW. Just check for this tag, rel="NoFollow". Like should say <a href="www.mysiterocks.com" rel="NoFollow" />.

If that site has NOFOLLOW then don't waste your time there. Its not worth it. NoFollow means that the site is telling the search engine to not pass on the PR.

That's it for now. Feel free to ask questions.

You wanna use the sites with DoFollow. That means the site is telling search engines to go to your site and also helps you increase or get a PR.

Use DoFollow. And say no to NoFollow. Easy to remember. NoFollow? No? Get it? lol

Does your blog have dofollow as I made 2 or 3 usefull (not spam) comments on there and gave my url.

Just curious it does not really matter as I will still comment if I feel the need to.

Yeah sure you can post the program. But the think is too many irrelevant backlinks in a short time can get you banned from Google. So be careful with that. I wouldn't personally do that.
