Efficiently Building Backlinks

Let’s talk about building backlinks. How can you build them more efficiently? I want to discuss two methods of building backlinks and why each method is efficient. These two methods are blog commenting and forum posting.

Forum Posting

If you post at a forum, you will get lots of backlinks very quickly. Forum posting for backlinks is also efficient because you can find a nice forum which allows dofollow links in signatures and gets indexed frequently (what a perfect example of TechGeeks Forums ;) ) and all you ahve to post in the discussions. If the forum’s niche interests you you can find yourself making hundreds of posts every day. Now that;s quick backlink building :) . Another reason forum posting is great is because you can change your signature at any time and the change will be reflected on all your posts.

Blog Commenting

Commenting on blogs is also a great way to build backlinks, but don’t expect big numbers like you would with forum posting. Finding a nice blog and checking for dofollow will take some time. Reading the entire article will generally take longer than reading a forum thread. You’ll also have to write a nice, specific comment for blogs where comment moderation is enabled. Here at TechGeeks, don’t expect a short thank you comment with a link to get approved on the blog, even though it could be acceptable at the forum. The good news about blog commenting is that while it takes longer it is still efficient. Many blog posts (where your comments will appear) have some pagerank on the page. Remember that pagerank is assigned per page and not per domain, and very few forum threads have the amount of PR that blog posts will have. A backlink is much better off on a page with PR2 than a page with PR 0.15.

You see that both methods of building backlinks are efficient in their own way. Finding a balance between the two is up to you. We invite you to try out both at TechGeeks, where everything is dofollow. We have a reputation of being a site where backlinks are picked up very quickly ;) .

I prefer having a balance.

Some high quality ones are great to have while the daily forum posts are a nice added push on your site.

The problem with forum posting is finding a forum that allows you to post links in your sig ;)

Luckily, there are some that are very lenient so long as your site doesn’t go against a few basic guidelines. I still prefer blog commenting though.

Hey, thanks for the post! I’ve taken a lot of your advice and hopefully it will pay off soon! I still haven’t found that forum where I can keep posting yet but I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Should I keep back linking to more specific key word related sites specific to my site?

Lots of forums don’t allow links in signatures. I’ve been looking for a while and still haven’t found any Awesome ones with good PR that allows links in signatures.

There are quite a few good forums that allow signature links, the reason you might have problems finding them is many people try to abuse the forums so the webmasters just disallow it rather than spending time clearing the spam.

Article submission is another effective way to build good links, it’s only worth doing if you can spare some time to write content for a site other than your own, since links are pointless if your site has no content.

Using a wide variety of backlinking methods is the way to win the game.
