Five Simple Steps To Get Real And Valuable Back-links

When it comes to blog back-links creation the last thing you want to do is rely on any kind of back-link automation, such as back-link software. I have to say that when I first heard of this kind of software a while back I was never really attracted by it. The main reason was that I never trusted such software. You know, the too good to be true kind of thing!

To reinforce that belief, not long ago I heard a successful internet marketer buddy of mine discouraging anyone from using any kind of back-link software. I know I have myself promoted back-link software, but hey, times change and even if those things worked to some degree in the past, it’s not the case anymore since Google has changed a great deal within past year or so.

Back-link software is like article spinners, the less you rely on them the better it will be for you.

In this post I wanted to show you how to create real and valuable back-links to your blog or site. As a matter of fact, these methods are as simple and as fast as it would take you to fill up a back-link software application which in turn would get you low quality to completely useless back-links that wouldn’t help your ranking at all.

Here are five sites that Google loves and which will give a heck of good back-linking to your blog. And if Google loves it, you know what it means…

So, let see what are the 5 main back-link tools that you cannot ignore for the year 2012!

Google+ Page

Make sure you have a Google+ page account. By now, everyone should have one. Don’t forget that Google+ belongs to Google and everything, I mean everything you put on your Google+ page will get indexed and ranked in the SERP pretty easily (unless is spun content) of course.

So, if you don’t have one yet, make sure you get your Google+ profile page and link your content to it on a regular basis.

NOTE: Do not link ONLY your content there. Internet marketing is a social business, don’t forget it. It will be to your advantage if you’d link other people’s content on there as well. Google likes that.

You Tube

It’s becoming more and more vital that you use You Tube to promote your business and links through You Tube. There is a great article by Paul Wolfe on Firepole Marketing that will give you all the specific details about what you can do to make the best out of YouTube to promote you and your business.

Don’t forget that You Tube also belongs to Google so, it will rank easily as well.

Tumblr

Tumblr is quite new still and doesn’t rank that great on Google yet, but it is expected that it will. So, if you don’t have an account with Tumblr yet, I suggest you get one now. If you don’t know how, Ana Hoffman from Traffic Generation Café has a post that will show you what to do. Tubmlr is a platform kind of between a blog post and a Twitter tweet. If you don’t have enough to write a whole blog post about and too much for a tweet, think Tubmlr! Also, if you want to write a second little post about your real post and link to it, Tubmlr it’s perfect for that as well. That is how I use Tubmlr myself for my blog back-links.

Pinterest is an online pinboard. Not ranking on Google yet, but it will and it’s predicted that it will rank very well, indeed. On Pinterest you can share the things you love or found interesting. You can use Pinterest to link your interesting content or pictures.

As well as any other social platform, you want to repin other people’s content or pictures that you like to build connections and relationships. Pinterest is by invitation only. You can either request an invitation from a member or request one to admin.

I have a few invites available. I’ll apply the first come first serve basis. Oh, yes, it will be for those who have taken the time to read the post and left a nice comment and then tweet the post as well!

Blog Commenting

Blog commenting is and probably always will be my favorite way of getting back-links, because not only it gives you the link back to your site, but you can create very interesting and useful relationships that can help you and your online business way beyond the back- links.

So many people are not aware of this yet, and it really amazes me!

I suggest that before you start commenting on other blogs you get an avatar from Gravatar.com, because some bloggers won’t publish your comment if you don’t have one (I don’t blame them). Using your real picture as an avatar is always preferable, but if you are one of those terrified by their own image, then, go ahead and get one of those avatars.

Once you’ve got your Gravatar picture make sure you read this article to know all the do and don’t about blog commenting.

By using these simple steps to get real and valuable back-links you will give real juice to your blog and you will never think that you need a back-link software again.

So, what do you think, don’t be silent let your voice be heard in the comment area below and get the back-link.
