One of the most important aspects of getting traffic to your website is to build up your domain name backlinks. Domain name backlinks are extremely valuable because they can literally get you thousands of extra visitors everyday, and the more backlinks you have pointing to your site the higher your search engine rankings will be. In some cases these backlinks can equal as many as 10s of one million visitors! That is simply amazing and something that not many people give enough credit for when trying to increase their web traffic.

The way that we build up backlinks is very simple and we have already done this many times in the past. We make an article and we submit it to free article directories, which give us the ability to put our backlinks at our own discretion. If we are just looking for one or two backlinks pointing to our site this is the method that works best. If we want to get a backlink from every page on the internet then we need to employ a different method.

So backlinks aren't the same thing as traffic. Traffic has come and gone in the past while backlinks are permanent. The only way to get traffic is to consistently put new content into your site and attract people to your site. They will find your site eventually, but it must be somewhere on the internet first. You don't want to waste time writing articles to drive people to your site and not having them see it first. You also don't want to waste time writing to the wrong audience and never reaching them.

The first step to building backlinks is to find relevant sites and write articles that are aimed at your niche. These articles should be somewhat informative and should give at least some information that your reader would like to know. Make sure to include a link to your site at the bottom of the article. Submit your articles to as many article directories as possible. Some of the more popular directories include EzineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleBase and Smart Articles. The more backlinks you can get to your site, the better off you'll be.

Another way to get backlinks to your site is to ask other webmasters for backlinks. You can ask them to include a link to your site at their web site. You can even ask them to put a small link to your site at the bottom of their pages. Don't forget to follow up with a personal message thanking them for the backlink.

If you have an existing blog or website you can set up a WordPress blog and add a plug-in for your visitors to insert their domain name. When they click to visit your site they will be redirected to your blog and a backlink will be included. If you don't have a website already, this method might not work for you because search engines will probably not allow WordPress blogs.

Some people choose to go the free route when it comes to link building. They create articles that describe their topic and then submit them to article directories. This is a good way to start, but it won't get you very far. Most articles you write will get you no where because they are stuffed with links pointing back to sites owned by the article directory owner. People submitting articles like this are not getting much benefit.

My favorite way to use domain name backlinks is to register domains with names similar to well known Internet businesses. For example, I own several websites that all contain content on blogging. I find many other people who also have blog sites, and register them to my names. Each time I post an article I get a backlink from the site and I receive a free site boost from the owner of the site.
