Have you ever heard the phrase that swapping website links
will help your site ranking on search engines giving your site more
traffic? This is also true with blogs. The more blogs networking
together with your blog will create back links to help search
engine rankings for everyone network. Although there are many ways to
create back links by networking blogs I am only going to share the six back-link techniques that has been very effective for my blogs. Swapping
links, commenting on other blogs, writing articles, posting in groups
on Face-book, using Face-books new technology Networked Blogs and
posting on Twitter. The 6 Back link Techniques
Swapping
Blog Links With Other Blogger s
Commenting on other blog sites
(leave a link to your blog)Writing Articles and leaving a link
back to your blogBeing active on Face-book groups that are
related to your blogUsing Face-books new technology the Networked-blog.net Post on Twitter



So
what is a back-link?
Before we can discuss how you can use them to generate traffic we have
to understand what they are and how they work. According to Wikipedia:
"Back links
are incoming links
to a web site
or web
page. Inbound links were originally important (prior to the
emergence of search engines) as a primary means of web navigation; today their significance lies in search engine optimization
(SEO). The number of back links is one indication of the popularity or
importance of that website or page (though other measures, such as Page Rank,
are likely to be more important). Outside of SEO, the back links of a
web page may be of significant personal, cultural or semantic interest:
they indicate who is paying attention to that page." Wikipedia 

If you noticed on my blog Networking Together
I have added a few categories to my list to the left that help out blogger s. This is called swapping blog links
with other b loggers and creates a back link for their blogs. All I did
was contact the blogger and asked if they would like to swap links.
They added my blog link to their site and I added theirs to my blog.
The more blogger s I help the more visitors I'll receive and vice verse.

Why?
Because search engines like Google and Yahoo
give the top spots to sites that are getting a lot of visitors or the
information is relevant to the searches. This is a big part of Search
Engine Optimization
or SEO. The process of SEO is to improve the volume or quality of
traffic to a web site from search engines.By swapping links with others
tells Google and Yahoo robots that your blog has relevant information
to crawl so, therefore moves your blog or website up the rank. But, yes
there is a but, you have to make sure that the blogs you are swapping
links with are relevant to the information on your blog. If the blogs
you are linking to are not relevant Google may see your site as
spamming or performing a process called "Black hat" and won't
crawl your blog. They may even ban your blog from their search engines.
If you want to know more information about Black hat please read Unethical
SEO Technique To Gain Top Search Engine Rankings.

Another
way
to create back links is to comment on other blogs that are relevant
to yours. The comment doesn't have to be a book but just enough to show
the blogger you appreciate what the blogger wrote. When you comment,
make sure that you leave your blog link in your signature or invite
them to visit your blog. This will create a relationship with
other blogger s. The more you comment the higher your blog will rank in
the search engines and the more traffic you will receive.
I am
not the greatest writer in the world but I will attempt to write
articles while leaving a back link to my blog at the end of each
article. This process is simple but you need a lot of content for
people to read. The best way I found to find content is to write
articles that solve other peoples problems. I am sure someone has
already written an article like this one but my articles may be more
helpful or easier to read.
Other content I find is when I am
talking with friends and family. I will use content that we discussed
about in a conversation that could help another persons problem. For
example: I was talking to an internet friend about how I joined an
online business opportunity and quit when fear set in. My internet
friend asked me "have you ever heard of Brett Favre?" I thought
it was kind of odd to ask a guy If they watch football so I said,
"Yeah". He explained to me that Brett Favre
never stops throwing the football whether he threw a touch down or an
interception. The point he was trying to make is that we can't let fear
get in the way of our goals. I know this is getting off the topic but
this is how I find content to write articles. I am sure you talk to
friends and family every day so, it couldn't be that hard to find
content unless you're unsociable. But anyways every article you write
can create a back link to your blog.

Being social on Face-book
groups related to your blog can also create back links. Their are a lot
of groups on Face-book that will allow you to post a link. Join the
groups on Face-book that are related to your blog and leave a comment
after every comment leave your blog link. Now, I wouldn't go around
spamming groups but you can ask questions or comment on other comments
and leave your link.You can also start a discussion on a particular
topic that may interest other group members. One of my favorites is to
create havoc and people will respond. I don't know why they just do.
There are other social groups but Face-book is the most popular besides My-space.

Face-book also has a way to connect your blog to Face-book so that when you make a post your Face-book friends can see
what you posted. This new technology is called networked-blogs.net and
you can get a more detail version of this technology from my article by
going to Face-book
Creates Traffic For Blogs!
This has got to be one of the best tools used by many blogger s to get
blog information out to the public. It's very easy to set up and you
can control whether or not you want your Face-book friends to read what
you posted.
One of the newest technology on the internet that has
become very popular is Twitter.
I am sure you have heard of Twitter so I won't go into detail but it is
nothing more than a social community that allows you communicate with
friends and family in real time. You can let your followers know that
you just posted information on your blog. After making a post, go to
your Twitter account and let every one know that you just posted. What
I do is make a snappy heading and leave my blog link. The great thing
about using Twitter is that it's free advertising. But I wouldn't spam
Twitter because you could get a lot of upset followers that will block
you. I would tweet 3 times a day once in the morning, once in the
afternoon and then again at night before bed.
Another Twitter
tool to use is the re-tweet. Re-tweet is when someone creates a tweet
and one of their followers re-post their tweet. If you re-tweet another
follower they are more than likely to re-tweet your tweets. What does
this mean? You receive back links on their profile and their followers
will see your tweet giving you more traffic.

If you're
looking to get more readers to your blog then create back links by
either swapping blog links with other blogger s, making short comments
on other blogs and use Twitter. You can also write simple to read
articles that offers a solution to someones problem or use Face-book to
generate traffic. Back links are what drives free quality traffic to
blogs and websites. It only takes a few hours a day and the results are
rewarding.
If you have a blog that is relevant to Networking
Together
then follow me or leave a comment and I will be happy to return the
favor. If you're on twitter, my user name is idealadchoice so send me
