In this article I will be looking at how you can increase your domain name backlinks without having to change your domain name. Link building is an essential part of the search engine optimisation process and many people will tell you that it's one of the most important factors when working on your SEO. However with so many options out there it can be difficult to know where to start.

One option that many people will overlook is submitting your website to free directories. A lot of the bigger directories will charge you for listing your site but there are a lot of smaller directories that offer the service for free. So firstly search around for directories that you could submit your site to for free. If you want to create backlinks from these then make sure you give them good quality in the description. You need to entice the reader to click on the link.

The next thing that you can do when trying to increase your domain name backlinks is actually create some links from websites that are relevant to yours. For example if you're an affiliate marketer then you might look into some forums or social networking websites. Look for websites that have a large number of visitors but are not really popular with the search engines. Usually the higher the traffic the better the rank in the search engines, so make sure you find websites that have a high rank but that aren't getting much traffic. Try and create backlinks from popular websites that have good rankings in the organic search results as well.

Once you have found websites that have a good page rank but that aren't getting much traffic then submit the website to a directory. A lot of directories will be happy to publish your website as a resource and in return you will be rewarded with backlinks. Just because the directory allows you to put a link on their directory doesn't mean that you have to go ahead and link all of your other websites to the directory. You need to be creative and think out of the box.

One way of creating backlinks is to add your website to an ezine directory. There are a lot of ezine directory online that allow webmasters to submit their site to the directory and earn some income. You can add a comment on their articles or simply put a link to your website. Most ezines are free to join so this shouldn't cost you anything. If you own your own website though then it's a good idea to set it up as an affiliate.

There are also social bookmarking sites that allow people to post content and share links. They have their own tags system where people can vote for a link and share it with others. Be careful though, these directories will not accept links from spammers, so if you get a lot of votes then you could be delisted quickly. Also be careful with direct linking to your website, most people will report you if they feel you are doing this.

Forums and blogs can also be used to build links. A forum or blog will let people ask questions or chat and post links to their own websites. It's important to read the forum or blog rules to see what you can and cannot do. Some forums will disable your link if you are blatant about trying to earn a link. You want people to feel like they are talking to an actual person and you don't want to come off as a spammer.

The main thing to remember about link building is that you need to be patient and work to build your links slowly. It will take time but the results will be well worth it. Link building is an important part of having a successful website and you should take time to make sure you do it right. Don't rush into it and ruin your chances of getting success. Try some of these methods out and see which ones give you the best results.
