Get Instant Backlinks To Your Blog

Over 60 Web 2.0 Sites To Get Instant Backlinks To Your Blog

I previously wrote a blog post where I featured over 30 web 2.0 sites to drive traffic to your blog. It focused on traffic generation using social media and web 2.0 sites. So today I’m going to focus on link building using web 2.0 sites. As you probably know, if content is King then links are Queen. Link building post penguin is all about quality so the traditional link building methods like article submission, directory submission, press releases, RSS submission, etc. rarely works today.

So I’m featuring over 50 quality websites where you can list your blog/website. These websites may not drive huge traffic to your blog but they increase the backlinks to your blog in several ways. Most of these websites allow you to enter your URL as a bio link and it means you get a backlink in less than 5 minutes (Tip: Use your Facebook/Twitter/Google+ account to sign up). And you can multiply the number of backlinks from these websites by becoming an active user. For example, when you create your YouTube profile you can add a link to your website from your profile page and also from your uploaded videos. Likewise, you can join community-driven websites like Digital Point, Microsoft Community, Yahoo Answers, etc. and can link to your website from profile pages and also from discussions by adding your link in a relevant topic.

Of course, there are hundreds of other blog posts that feature 100 ways to get backlinks. But the problem is…they all require a lot of effort as it involves some real work. They simply highlight random ideas like – start a forum, write an e-book, start an affiliate program, giveaway free WordPress themes, etc. It’s not easy!

And that exactly is the reason why I created this list. If you have launched your website recently then this is the best way to build some backlinks in almost no time. I have linked some of the following websites to my own profiles whenever I can for demo purpose so that you will know where exactly your link would appear.

If you are looking for ‘real’ link building tactics…

Since these are literally the easiest ways to build backlinks to your website they don’t have much value and it’s worth to mention that most of the links are nofollow. So don’t expect your website’s ranking to skyrocket by building few backlinks like this. But the good thing is… backlinks won’t hurt as long as they’re created naturally. Now if you’re looking for real link building ideas then I recommend Point Blank SEO’s comprehensive list of link building tactics.
