Backlinks are an important part of gaining exposure for any website. These are used by the search engines to find out what words link to a page, how many links there are and what sites are linking to another. All together this is part of how high a site ranks in the search engine pages.
If you write good, compelling articles then people will link to you and you do not have to lift a finger. This may take some time though but there are ways of making this a lot quicker.
One of the benefits of using article directories is that other people can use your articles. Essentially, you are giving them permission to copy the article from the directory it is on, as long as they keep your author bio in tact. This means that your presell page and the primary articles will both get backlinks in the long term.
In the short term, you can create backlinks yourself by commenting on blogs, posting on forums, using social bookmarking websites and some others which I will explain in the next few articles. All of these are free but it is important that you do not spam any of them. Commenting on blogs is very spammy so you should take your time to create a good reply and not just put “thanks for this” just to get a backlink.
No-one likes spam and if the comment is moderated, most bloggers won’t allow spam comments either.
