  Backlinks are very important to raising your SEO and getting the most out of your content. They also encourage readers to stay on your site longer and read more of your content which translates to more page views etc. Great for increasing your Alexa ranking as well. One thing you didn’t mention (which you might be saving for another post) is when backlinking, use strong anchor text. When search engines read your links they look at the words you use to link the text. Saying look at this post “here” and linking from the here, you don’t get as much seo benefit as if you say something like check out my article on “earning money” on ehow. At first it is a little tricky to integrate this style of backlinking in (and sometimes almost impossible to do), but it is always worth taking a look at

    Definitly I don’t see why more backlink should encourage readers to stay on you website. Certainly not but yes it happens that discussion may make this more likely.

    Backlink from a high PR niche site (same as yours) is considered strong. In my view link-building is a gradual process; cause now I am getting backlinks for a few of my articles written 3 months back. IMO: mantain post quality & link should come naturally…

    In my opinion it nearly gives some effect to all indexed links, but the thing is Google doesn’t index everything. For example, you buy some crappy forum profile links. What no one seems to see is that Google wouldn’t index those links as they are almost never any internal links pointed to them…

  Backlinks was one of the first things I learned when I started blogging – the thing is that when you first “start” it is easy to miss an integral part of an important step and the other thing is that as you progress you begin to get sloppy with the basics so it’s always good to get a refresher – aha, the anchor! but you will be covering that in a bit.

  therese nothing that works like backlinks. You can have perfect onpage seo but without great backlinks, all onpage is for nothing. I think backlinks without a perfect anchor text can be also helpful. But of course not as helpful as a backlink with perfect anchor text.

  Building backlinks are the most boring and tedious job ever.

  Unless you have the money to spend, or creative enough to build up the backlinks fast (link bait, mind-blowing contents for link back or, black hat perharps?)

  I don’t have both. I do it myself like a robot.

  Hi Gabe,

  Great article as usual, I think backlinks are very important…but for a website to reach good rankings in the search engines I think first it need to have a very good onpage optimization, quality content and of course some outbound links leading to similar websites but with authority in Google’s eyes as well as for Yahoo and Msn
