Back links are vital to the health and success of your blog and without them it will be very difficult for a blog to strive. Due to the importance that back links have, bloggers and webmasters have been using various ways and methods to get backlinks to their websites in other for them to get high Google PageRank and good rankings in search engine result pages (SERPS).
Many of the methods that are employed by bloggers and internet marketers in building back links are often unethical (black-hat SEO) and this is a major concern for search engines, especially Google.
Early this year, Google released an update to their search algorithm that demoted those websites that are involved in various link schemes and some of those sites even disappeared in SERPs. Google is constantly updating their algorithm and one of the hardest hitting changes that took place is known as the Penguin Update.
Building back links the right way is not that difficult, it’s just that most people lack patience; they want fast result and less hard work but on the contrary building safe back links require time and hard work. If you want to build back links the safe way without fear of being penalized by Google or other search engines, here are 3 safe ways to build back links to your blog.
1. Back links from Guest Blogging
Guest blogging is the first and foremost method of building safe back links. With guest blogging, you will get a natural one way back link to your site and also some free traffic will surely come with it. Usually, when you are guest posting on a blog, you will be allowed to place a link or two pointing back to your blog with appropriate keywords as anchor text in your author bio that appears beneath your article.
The back links from your author bio are one of the easiest and safest links you can ever get.
Guest posting is not that difficult, though I will admit that it requires some work which can be termed as writing a quality article that you know another blogger will be glad to share with his audience.
After writing your post, the next thing is to find a suitable blog in your niche, a blog that you know will be willing to publish your post and send the blog owner a mail or check out the blog guest posting page (if they have one) for more information about guest blogging on that particular blog. Look for blogs that feature the author bio box, which can give you a chance to earn additional back links to your site.
If you are having problem with guest blogging, and you need more help, I will recommend that you check out this Guest blogging guide at youngprepro.

2. Back Links from Blog Commenting
Blog commenting is my favorite technique for building safe back links to my blogs. I have always been recommending blog commenting to bloggers who are looking to build back links because it has worked for me and it is FREE!!!
When I started my blog in March 2011, my major link building technique was blog commenting and with it I was able to get Google Page Rank of 2 without using any other form of Link Building. Comments left on CommentLuv blogs like this one offer a big advantage because the CommentLuv link will end up sending targeted traffic to your blog as well.
I have discovered blog commenting to be an effective strategy to build back links though it will require time and your patience. Time in the sense that you will have to be visiting blogs in your niche on a daily basis to drop a comment or two and patience in the sense that you will need to read the article on those blogs before you drop your comments.
As you know reading these blog will also help your knowledge, so it’s more like killing two birds with one stone when it comes to blog commenting.
If you are using blog commenting for link building, you should avoid the usual SPAMMY LIKE comments such as: “GREAT POST“, “NICE ARTICLE“, and “NICE BLOG“. Most of the time, these type of comments end up in the trash folder and it will just be like a waste of time and energy on your part.
To know more about getting back link from blog commenting, I recommend that you read this post – The Benefits and Power of Blog commenting
3. Back Links from Forums
Forum boards are also a great place to build safe back links and traffic to your blog. Virtually all forum boards have a forum signature box under the users profile section where you can enter a short bio and back links pointing to your blog.
You should take advantage of this forum board’s signature feature for link building because most forums have high Page Rank and high daily traffic. So you have the tendency to get a high PR backlinks and more link juice value and some traffic along the way.
Apart from the forum signature box, you can also drop links to posts on your blog that can be of assistance or solve a fellow forum member’s problem but don’t turn this into a habit so that you won’t look like a spammer and eventually get banned from the forum.
There are lots of forum boards online; a simple way to find them is to use a search engine like Google. You can get them by using keywords in your niche in the search parameter. For example, I will use something like “Weight loss + Forum” as a search parameter on Google if am in the weight loss niche. So it’s just “your-niche+forum” and hit the search button.
So far, we have discussed three (3) safe ways you can use to build safe back links to your blog. If you are using any of these methods, you don’t need to be afraid of any Google or search engine algorithm updates because you are 100% safe.
Do you have any other White hat techniques for building back links that you find effective? Kindly share them with us in the comment section.

Just a few days back, I was wondering what are the safe ways to build safe back links post panda, penguin and EMD updates. I think out of all this, guest posting is the most important and also links in the post itself is going to be most important than author bio.
One thing I would like to ask is, if links from directories are worth or not? Are they considered to be safe?

” I will only recommend directories link if you have a new blog “. Well I don’t think that their will be any problem even if your website is old enough and have good authority. Actually what matter the most is the quality of the directory in which you are listing your website. Lets say its Yahoo directory or btow, they are paid but they are great. They have high authority, are human edited and can surely help you improve your web presence.
So according to me directory links will never harm your website till its human edited.

I think the links within posts rather than author bio is something to debate about. I read somewhere that that the links within the post is going to be “more important” than links in the author bio. Incorporation of G+ in the author bio will perhaps act as a buffer against future updates.

Shalu,
Directories can be ok if you find some decent ones.
According to the likes of Rand Fishkin and friends; the problem here is that for most directories, Google has turned them off on the back end so they pass little or no value to anyone – but it’s difficult to tell for sure.
There are some ways that you can narrow down which would be good to post.
If the directory is easy to get listed on, just lists any links, is setup just for linking out to people and has no editorial standards then you might as well forget it.
If it’s difficult to get into the directory and they are a bit more picky with which links they accept then usually that would be a lot better.
But .. being realistic here the time it would take to actually figure out which ones are worthwhile is actually so time consuming that it makes it pretty much pointless in my eyes.
There was a post on webmaster forums a while back where someone wrote up a sort of case study, they spent 2 years trying to get into DMOZ and eventually after getting in (and leaving a bit of breathing room for rankings to adjust) saw no ranking increase. – a shame really after all that work.

Second, I am a new blogger, I was browsing all around the internet trying to find safe and effective back links methods. I was confused and didn’t know from where to start. But you gave me 3 safe ways to start with
I have 2 questions pls :
1. How long did it took you to get Google Page Rank of 2?
2. What is the difference between article’s directories and web directories?
Oh sorry, can I ask a 3rd question?! Could you pls give me good article directories, 2 would be enough, I am a stay at home mum and don’t have plenty of time!
Article submission directory no more holds the same value as it used to earlier as this practise was over exploited by webmasters . Having more than 2-3 backlinks from article directories can rather hit you back ..

Links from forum are the real way of building backlinks.
Believe it or not but I have found this method really effecting I have been building links for many friends blog using these method.
Backlink from blogs are good but not best way to build links from site. It only helps in terms of exposure, building relations and yeah links.
I would suggest building links from guest blogging. It is the best way to gain exposure, friends, readers, and 100% quality backlink. Thank you for throwing light on these principle of building links.

I’ve personally found guest posting to be the best source of quality links, especially when you’re selective about which blogs you write your guest posts for. I do agree as well, they are often of the most difficult links to get, but well worth it.
As said above, forum links are good for traffic, but don’t really help you’re seo much since the majority of them are “no-follow”.
Another really great way to build links is to build other content based blogs and link to your main site from there. This of course requires a great deal of hard work as well.

Good tips! Several other commenters have mentioned forums as a good source of backlinks and that’s true – at least if you’re building backlinks for direct traffic. If you wanna rank in the search engines for specific keyword phrases, the landscape seems to have changed after the various Google changes. SEO experts now talk about keyword diversity, meaning you should for instance not focus on only 1 keyword, but go for several keywords. Your link building should also appear natural and your brand/name should be a part of your link building. Lots of people seem more and more unhappy with Google and are now looking to Bing and other search engines.

Hi Rick,
You are right about keyword diversity, we have to build links with several anchor text so that our sites don’t look spammy; using one keyword for your link building campaign will surely raise an alarm with Google and bloggers should also avoid large mass link building methods.

Hi Joseph!
First of all, thanks for this insightful post. Building backlinks from commenting is truly one of the most effective and easier method. However, as Google went more smarter and kept updating their algorithm we’ve started to doubt on its effect as it used to be. Google started to look for anchor text and a large number of back links with same anchor text causes heavy reduction in link value. And in blog commenting we can’t use different anchor text because the blogs are configured to use Author’s Name to link to the Website.
Has it been already late to move to guest blogging rather than blog commenting?

Hi Suresh,
When it comes to link building and Google Algo, I don’t really bug myself much about it; I do my thing the way I know it is appropriate. Since most blogs allow you to use your name when commenting, I believe google will not mark that as spam since it is not like you are competiting for your name as a keyword.
To round this off, I will tell you that Google themselves don’t know what they are doing, they are just spoiling SERPs, I believe very soon, their update thingy will go down.
Joseph Adediji recently posted..How To Change Your WordPress Blog “Admin” Username
In my view, nothing can beat Guest Posts and even after new Algo changes they will be the major source to build quality backlinks. Thanks for sharing other methods too.

The difference between guest blogging and article submission is that, guest blogging means publishing articles on other blogs while article submission is publishing articles on articles directories like ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com.
Article directories too are safe, it all depends on your niche and preference.

I was so shocked. There are so many forums that do not allow backlinks I might say this is not an effective method. Also for many the sign up requirement are more than trying to get directory links. Both methods are probably not helpful.
So that leave guest posting and commenting. Like you post except for the forum suggestion.

Some could be considered spammy and therefore hurt your site. Keep it relevant to what you blog is about and find a forum as such.

Try sending a message to the blog owner after doing some research about the blog, its audience, previously published content and the amount of interactions there between the host and the commentors.
You must mention that you are willing to abide by all the guest posting guidelines of the blog and then proceed to provide 3 proposed titles. Just say that you intend to write on any one of the 3 proposed titles, but emphasize on the point that they are just suggestions and the final post will be based on the blog owner’s suggestion / preference.

About Guest posting i don’t have good experience, three to fours times i tried to do guest posting and webmasters offer me for content and i provided them but they didn’t response me back that they are posting it or not. Then after it i don’t want to waste my time on guest blogging now.

Hi,
I am new in SEO,and I was wondering what are the safe ways to build safe back links post panda, penguin and EMD updates. I think Guest posting,Blog Commenting,Forum Posting is more worthy other than Forum links and article’s etc..
In your post you didn’t mention about the Social Bookmarking work.
Is that safe or not ?

Social bookmarking is safe, I didn’t mention it because I believe most of us use social media, its like a natural thingy to Us.

I would agree with you, that these three ways are safe after the updates, but I want to add that there are more safe ways to build links, even after the update – Press releases and Web 2.0 Properties are both safe when you do them properly and are very effective today
Getting back links from high PR sites can be beneficial. We should check reputation of that blog before submission on blogs.
A more apt title for this would’ve been: “3 Safe Ways To Build Back Links After Google’s Penguin Update…Until the Next Update”.
Let me explain. I think people have started to abuse what are presently considered as ‘safe linkbuilding methods’. That especially includes blog commenting. I think (or you could say that I have a feeling) that Google will do something in the near-future to counter this abuse. Perhaps as part of a major upgrade, or a Panda/Penguin update, time will tell. But Google’s history tells us that whenever a certain linkbuilding mechanism has been abused, Google has been quick to introduce countermeasures.
Just my $0.02. If or when that happens remains to be seen. For now, these certainly are the best safest methods to build links!

Thanks for sharing your insights on backlinking, Joseph.
Way back in the day, with my first business website (1999), I remember sending out offers to trade links with other webmasters… I hated it.
In order to get a decent amount of links one would have to trade links with all kinds of crazy sites. It didn’t really matter as far as search engines mattered. But if one was trying to create value for their readers it just didn’t feel right. So I enjoy the three backlinking methods you described FAR more even though they do require more personal attention and focus. But that fits for me anyway so I’m good with that.
It is a challenge to be consistent with commenting and writing blog posts while trying to do everything else it takes to build and maintain a website. I’m finding that systematizing commenting efforts is helping me get at least some of that worked into my busy schedule.
Also, I’ve found an RSS reader I like a lot (RSS Owl) and that has helped me immensely as it gathers current posts from all my favorite blogs and bloggers in one place and I can keep on top of the fast flow much easier.
Thanks again for the great post, Joseph. After submitting this comment I’m going over to look at your blog. I’m looking forward to reading more of your work…

Yep these are the 3 ways, although I’d be cautious of forums if you use always the same signature, it might make to many optimized anchor texts.
That’s why I use only my domain name as an anchor text on forum signatures.
Guest post is definitely the best, because it brings targeted trafic.
And comments with commentluv are great because they allow a deep linking…

Hi Joseph!
I am bit agreed with you here. Maybe these are the most securest ways to create back links after the Google Penguin updates. But I believe every incoming link is secure to you, until you have a long term strategy for your SEO campaigns.
However, I want to add few points here! There is no safe way to build backlinks before or after the Google Penguin.
To get safe back links to our websites, we have to work with some marketing strategies and to approach the community in a totally new way. What do you say? Like making some stuff viral? and achieving tons of back links to our website without any hustle?

Blog commenting is my favorite technique as well. First of all, I like commenting and being part of a conversation.

I have gone through your description. it is really very educative. I can get backlinks from blogs. But, when i ask for backlinks from forums and post my links on forums, they ban me every time.

Most important thing is good content and good relationship with others. It seems to me that all the other stuff, just falls into play after you have the two things I mentioned above.

Forum links are ok, but anchor texted links from forums dont look so natural. A typical user who has little tech experience would not generally wrap anchor text keywords within HTML or BB code. So when gaining links from forums i would preferrably cut and paste the full URL as a typical internet user would do.

I have personally found guest posting to be the best source of quality links, especially when you’re selective about which blogs you write your guest posts for. I do agree as well, they are often of the most difficult links to get, but well worth it.
As said above, forum links are good for traffic, but don’t really help you’re seo much since the majority of them are “no-follow”.
Another really great way to build links is to build other content based blogs and link to your main site from there. This of course requires a great deal of hard work as well.

Of course there is always the great content route for natural backlinks, but that is a little out of your control. I have been using both the blogs and forums strategy for a while and it seems to work nicely. However, even with commentluv blogs you really have to check and see what exactly they are offering because some sites that claim to be commentluv are not actually do follow and some just require more post, etc. I believe you need a great all inclusive strategy and this one when done properly is pretty good.

Joseph Adediji recently posted..Top 10 Ways to Build Backlinks to your Blog
Yes back links are very very important for the blog or site optimization but now after the update of search engine the back linking is a bit quality and its good as there was many people who was using some automation which is now prohibited.
Thank you so much for your free information. At the moment, I started a website for myself as well. And the biggest and most challenging part of this all that I find is promoting the website (link building). I want to stay away from any submission softwares that gives you low quality links. However, is it possible to make it look natural? For example, someone who is successful to SEO told me use 30% anchor text, 40% related keywords, and 30% generic anchor texts and links builds slowly like 10 links a day. Question is though, these Web 2.0 sites, blog, and article directories, to build links back to your page are they quality links?

Guest posting is good. Using high quality social media sites is also beneficial. It looks more and more like Google wants to see a natural link profile. Vary your anchor text, spend time interacting on forums, blogs and social media sites as well as linking and most importantly write great unique content on your site for others to link to.

Alot of forums are making there sites nofollow. The reason being is google is looking at alot of these forums that aren’t using nofollow’s as spammy.

Although it is nice to get a link from comment posting, I do believe this will eventually be a thing of the past.

Sweet tips. On the blog commenting, do u recommend just using your name in the anchor text portion of the blog comment or your target keywords?
keep in mind that social bookmarking will only bring traffic for a short period, creating good content is still the best way to get more traffic and backlinks. on the other side keep also in mind that everybody will see content in another way into google. backlinks in comments depends on the quality of the blog
One of my sites just fell back from 8th place to 240th place in google. I guess i have alot of back links that google does not like.I’m done trying to get a single link on a site. I will try to write some articles and see how long it takes to spring back.

Lovely article. Safe backlinks are safe when link building is done slow. The slower the better and more effective results. You should really add some guest posting sites as these sites give a real boost to traffic and links to your site and attract readers.

Currently i mainly use forum posts and article distribution which does give me some improvement.

I have recently done a complete review of 50 of my competitor’s backlinks practices including a couple of competitors who have been penalized heavily since recent updates. You can see everyone is struggling to find useful, quality backlinks. Blogs and Forums are definitely the easiest way to get quality links. Seems like a lot of people continue to use paid links and don’t appear to be heavily penalized – even when the links don’t relate to their industry. Also, exchange linking is still common. Moderation seems to be the rule.

Hey Joseph,
The third option you have above is against Googles terms of service and is considered spam now.
Forum signature links, while they were fine a few years ago they are one of the targets of penguin and panda in there update. Search on Google and forum signatures and you will see it is in there spam links section now. Basically put they will either not count these links or or penalize your site until they are removed.. So not safe that one..
On the other hand linking in forums to related posts on a topic is completely cool if the forum is fine with that.. A lot are and they also add more value than a signature link as well..
Regards,
Timon Weller
Timon Weller recently posted..7 Days to Understanding the Psychology Of A Successful Blogger
Totally agree with you, forum signature is considered as the spammy thing and even if you put signature there are many forums which are likely to remove your post and may take you as spammer.
Kevin Fernandez recently posted..Techniques to Drive Traffic from Google Plus
What I don’t understand is why guest blogging is now apparently better than article marketing. How does google know the difference? If you post a unique quality article with two backlinks or if you post a unique blog post with two backlinks isn’t it just the same thing providing you post quality unique content?
In fact yes these are the safe backlink building tactics but it wouldn’t be as malfunction otherwise you will be considered spammy and Google will demote for this for sure.

I hadn’t realised that linking to my articles from a similar related article or blog could be so beneficial.
My next step with my blog posts would be to try and get some my articles re-posted in other blogs does anyone know a good way to do this or is this guest posting?

With blog commenting takes time as the spiders or bots do not always seem to make it back that same article again for a while. So besides the fact you have to spend time reading it and commenting you must also wait for the bot to make it back. Great Article thanks for sharing.

SEO is so simple isn’t it? The problem I have with my clients is that they want everything yesterday and just want backlinks (because they think that’s all thats important!) – never mind the quality.
I really liked your point about gaining knowledge when visiting blogs – killing two birds with one stone there. I know when I started to comment on blogs my first goal was to get the backlink, but now I find that concentrating on engaging on a smaller number of blogs and forums is much more valuable to all concerned.

One more is links from social networking sites. One trick is if you want do-follow link from facebook, put your URL on your wall, that link is a dfollow link.

Thanks Joseph. I recently tried “BackLink Beast” and was sceptical of using such a tool, plus it’s a little complex for a beginner. I think your 3 steps make much more sense.
The main thing to understand (according to what I have gathered – I’m no expert), is that the penguin update has one main aim – reducing spam. As long as guest posts and blog comments are meaningful and add to the value of a post, then google will of course accept any link as credible. If, however a blog has mostly spam links leading to it, then it will lead to a lower Page Rank. I am however extremely happy that blog commenting is still a viable technique of link building as it encourages quality commenting while also adding to the knowledge of the user.
