You post a few links here and there to your new site, get your site listed with the search engines and you sit back and wait for the money to roll in…but there are no sales! Sound familiar? What you need is a constant stream of targeted visitors on a daily basis and visitors to frequent your site in their thousands, so is there a way to accomplish this for free?

If your just getting started online and new to SEO (search engine optimization) you may be pondering what a backlink is and why they are of great consequence. Free backlinks are now so valuable to getting your website on the first page of a search engine that they have become some of the main building blocks to a good SEO plan.

Free backlinks are links that are directed towards your website, they are commonly known as inbound links. The amount of free backlinks to your website is an signal of the popularity or relevancy of that website. Free Backlinks are particularly critical for search engines because some, particularly Google will have a higher regard for websites having a high number of backlinks and thus rank those sites more relevant for a particular search query and these sites will therefore get higher rankings in the results page.

When a search engine calculates the importance of a website in relation to a keyword or search query they take into consideration the quantity of quality inbound links that is has, so it’s important to concentrate especially on the quality of backlinks to your website. A search engine will think about the content of your site to determine the quality of a link. When inbound links to your site point from other sites that have content related to your site then these links will be considered more relevant and are likely to impact your webpage ranking significantly in a positive way.

Search engines like all websites to have a equal playing field and they will look for natural links built up slowly over time. It can be fairly easy to manipulate links on a web page to try and attain a higher ranking. It’s possible to play around with the links on a site but it’s much tougher to effect a search engine with external backlinks from other websites. This is another reason why backlinks are so highly incorporated into a search engines algorithm, to cut out the ‘cheaters’

Recently however a search engines criteria for quality backlinks has been tightened up due to dodgy webmasters trying to achieve backlinks by deceptive or sneaky tactics. Some of the things they will do include hidden links or mechanically generated webpages whose one and only principle is to supply inbound links to websites. These websites are called link farms and are now mostly disregarded by search engines.

Of course another cause for the pursuit of valuable backlinks is to get traffic to your website. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you can just build a website and be expecting people will find it without promoting your site and what it can offer visitors. Constructing quality, natural free backlinks is tremendously significant to Search Engine Optimization and so it should be very prominent on your priority list in your SEO Plan.
