I was bloghopping recently and found many bloggers sharing ideas on how they get gain backlinks fast. Here are some of those that I found:

1. Peter Lee’s – How Blog Commenting Got Me 1200 Backlinks in 5 Days
2. Yan’s – The Best Places To Get Quality Backlink

You may notice that most of them talks about getting a large number of backlinks in a short span of time by commenting on blogs only. In case you get the wrong idea, the backlinks we are discussing here are from yahoo. Well no doubt about it, this is one great method and idea which I strongly advocate when you are looking to build up your backlinks and also your Technorati Authority. I shall not elaborate further on this point since there are already so many posts on it and you can visit the links above to find out more. They both shared quite a good view on it.

Now I will get into the other things that I have done to build up backlink fast. The reason why I do not focus on blog commenting only is because there is only so much you can do with it.

1. Give And You Will Receive
Sponsor a contest! Especially popular contests… This way you get backlinks to your blog when other bloggers blog about the contest and mentioning your name as part of the sponsors. This is kind of a no brainer because all of you have to do is to come out with something like an ebook or an ad spot on your blog and let the contest organiser know you are interested to sponsor a prize. It is a win-win situation, so who will reject you? They get a sponsored prize and you get backlinks!

2. Give More And You Will Receive Even More
Provide a service free of charge for your readers. A good example would be a free banner design that I am giving away as a christmas gift to my readers. You may find out more here – Pei Profit Dot Com Christmas Giveaway. The logic is simple, I will design banner free of charge according to the specification my readers gave me and I ask for a link back to the post or blog as a favour in return. Your readers may have gained more in terms of value but heck it since you are only looking to build your backlinks and you establish yourself a professional in your field. Just be creative and be a resource to your readers!

3. Be Active On Forums With DoFollow Signatures – Thats it!

4. Sponsor Or Create Your Own WordPress Theme
This is crazy way to build backlinks! You will see your number of backlinks grow like crazy if you’re lucky. What do I mean by if you are lucky? There are circumstances whereby you pay a couple hundred bucks to sponsor a wordpress theme and the naughty blogger downloads and removes your link on the footer. That is why it ranks third on my list because it may not be as practical at times. So, to risk or not to risk? Thats your choice!

Some other backlink methods that I am intending to experiment on:

1. Write about a site or blog that I wish to get backlinks from – I thought that this is a good idea because if you are able to write something good about a site or blog and it brings some traffic to them, they will probably link back to you. They would even throw link to your blog telling their readers how popular they are because others are writing about them. Ego!

2. Interview other bloggers. This is a win-win situation too or so I believe. When you start interviewing other bloggers, you get to learn a skill or two that you may have never heard of and the other party would probably link to your interview. It can also help to brand them as a professional in the niche, so why would anyone reject this?

I hope no one gets turned off by my suggestions here and find me a link sucker. I am not! Everyone is trying to build their reputation and backlinks so if you meet such situations like this or similar requests from me in the future, do not see it as some negative. Go ahead and experiment and only with this, the community and grow together! Just like how the economy works, if nobody spends money, the economy is going to fall. On the other hand, if everyone starts spending, everyone starts earning and the economy grows.

So much for now… To your success in building quality links!
