Using Articles To Generate Quality Backlinks

As a webmaster you are looking to generate as many quality backlinks as possible to your website. As you may already know the best way to get your website to rate higher with the search engines it to have good links to it. There are many ways to do this. One of the most effective ways is to use article directories as this will give you authentic traffic to your sight.

With an article directory you are writing articles about the service or product that you website is advertising. The articles that you write need to have keywords spread throughout the article. For example if your website is selling black dress you will want to make sure that the words "black dress" is found several times in the article. To further boost the articles appeal you will also need to have several synonyms of the phrase such as the "dresses that are black."

In the body of the article you want to place at least one link to your website. Every article directory has its own limits to how many direct links you can have in the body of your article so make sure you read the submission requirements carefully as they will reject your article if you did not follow the criteria. You are also able to add a link to your website in your bio area so take advantage of it.

The goal of article writing is this: you want to write unique and interesting articles and submit them to the directories and then wait for other people in the same business to want to use your articles for content on their website. This is a free way for webmasters to get content for their website however they must leave all of your links intact and working. This is how you begin to get quality backlinks for your site.

Now what happens as your articles are spread around the internet with your links embedded in them the search engines such as Google and Yahoo! send out their spiders and locate the links. The more links that the spiders find the higher your page is ranked and as you know the higher your page is ranked the more people will be able to find you.

Be careful though when you write your articles there are strict guidelines and each article is check for them. First you are never allowed to plagiarize another writer's work. Secondly, use your keywords wisely adding them too many times in an article is called "keyword stuffing" and will get your article rejected. Make sure that you proofread your articles; most articles are rejected just because of spelling and grammatical errors.

The good news is that if you don't have the time or you do not feel that you are capable of writing these articles you can find many freelance writers that will do them for you. You can find these writers all over the internet and several websites are dedicated to hooking up freelancers and clients. You will have to pay for their services but remember without quality banklinks the search engines won't find your website.
