In one of my previous articles I told you how to increase your backlinks. Today I will tell you some more details about increasing your backlinks and especially ‘link baiting‘, as bloggers call it. You know Google page ranking will be updated soon. So if your blog is new and this is going to be your first page rank update, then you need to build a large number of backlinks so that you can get a good page rank. Backlinks can be made either in huge number or with quality. Let me explain, first option is to get thousands of baclinks from page rank 0 sites or you can get tens of links from page rank 5 sites. So here are the best ideas you can use to build a huge number of backlinks from all type of sites.![]()
- Comment on related niche “big blogs” that have a top commentators widget. Why
Because if you regularly comment on these blogs you will get included in their Top Commentators widget which is a dofollow backlink. So make a list of some big blogs that are related to your niche and have a Top Commentators widget. Regularly comment on these blogs. Doing this will never remove your link from their page rank >4 blogs. One more thing, this will also create your relationship with that blogger who runs that big blog.
- Link Baiting means creating some product that has your link somewhere in it and then distributing it to others so that the more people use it the more backlinks you get. The most common form of link baiting is to create your own blog templates. What’s the need to create templates? Let me tell you. For example you have created a blogger template. Now include your blog’s link in it. Then distribute it through your own blog or other blog and forums. So now if some people use your template on their blogs, your link will already be on their blogs. This way you can create 100s of links with just 1 day of hardwork
. In fact I am soon going to release my templates. 
- One more trick that is being used by many Entrecarders now is to sponsor or hold a contest. If you hold a contest on your blog then you can ask your contestants to write about your blog or about that contest. So now your contestants will write about your blog on their blogs with probably at least 2 to 3 links. So you’re getting so many backlinks from so many blogs. Or you can also sponsor the contests being held on other blogs. This way also your link will be shown as sponsor’s link on the articles of the contestants’ blogs.

Good tips.Would like to point out one missing part from the post. Article submitting is a great way to get more back links. And there are web sites who can do all the work for FREE or for very less work. Blog carnivals are another great way to get back links. I didn’t think it would be successful.But Turned out i am wrong. It is a great way to get traffic as well as links.
Keep up the good work
Your friend,

The only thing on that list I haven’t done is hold an EC contest, which I think I may soon, gotta come up with a new approach though.

I like the idea of designing your own template for link baiting. Now I understand why people spend hours of work to create one template for free.
Great tips, Chetan but aren’t you going to activate that Top Commentator plugin on this blog?

This is smart stuff – bloggers love to write about each other and it’s well known that borrow each others ideas and usually link.
Wondering what you think about those who borrow and don’t link back. I’m soliciting testers for a service that helps do just this – it’s free right now. One of my questions is how often bloggers don’t link and if the service can be used to help identify links.
Anyways – interested in your thoughts.
Thanks!
