Link building is a very time-consuming activity. That’s why you have to be very careful if you don’t want all your efforts to be in vain. One important thing you should bear in mind is this: One quality backlinks is worth more than a 100 spammy backlinks. The 7 tips below will help you build quality backlinks and ensure that your time is not wasted.

1. Pages have PageRank (PR), Not Websites:
Here is where a lot of Nigerian bloggers get it wrong. If the homepage of a site is PR 5, some bloggers tend to assume that every other page on the site is PR 5. But unknown to them, that site can still have a lot of pages that have lower PageRank, and some pages can even be PR 0!

So while building backlinks, look at the PR of the page the backlink is coming from. Don’t look at the PR of the home page.

2. Vary your Anchor Text:
Another important thing is the words you use in the anchor text of your backlink. Due to the Google over-optimization penalty, you have to vary the words you use in the anchor texts. There are several ways to do this. Let’s look at them while assuming that our main target keyphrase is “dog potty training”.

• Use Related Phrases: e.g. dog toilet training, potty training a dog etc. You can get a lot of related phrases from the Google keyword tool (Now Google Keyword Planner).

• Use Generic Words: e.g. click here, here’s the link, this article, read more etc.

• Use your URL: e.g. read more about it at <a href..>Bleep.com</a>.

3. Get both Dofollow & Nofollow Backlinks:
Definition: A nofollow backlink is a backlink that has the nofollow attribute. This type of link will not increase you Google ranking. On the other hand, a dofollow backlink is just a normal link and it can help your ranking.

Some think that nofollow backlinks are a taboo but they’re not. Remember that search engines want to see natural link profile and you’ll satisfy this want if you acquire both dofollow and nofollow backlinks.

4. Get Quality Backlinks:
A quality backlink is a backlink from a page that has high PageRank, useful content, and traffic. This is the type of links you should strive to get. Avoid spammy links like the ones created by automation tools. In case you don’t know, spammy backlinks can now hurt your entire site. That is why Google launched the disavow link tool.

5. Keep Building Backlinks:
Build as many backlinks as possible. If time and resources will permit you, keep building even after you have achieved the number one spot in search result. You don’t know what your competitors are doing. Also, identify your best performing pages and keep pumping links into them.

6. Deep Linking Strategy:
Don’t build links only to your home page. The best practice is to build links to both the homepage and subpages.

7. Relevancy:
The pages you get links from should be relevant to the topic of your page. For example, if you have a page on dog training, don’t go and place your links on pages that talks about hair dressing, body building or weight loss.
