Are you building your back links daily?
One of the big things people need to understand is the little things done regularly that make a huge difference in your blogging efforts. None of the individual items tends to make a huge difference but combined they make a huge difference.
You can create back links in many ways. Three of the most common are to write articles, comment on other blogs and bookmark regularly.
Article writing takes a bit of effort but the other two are quite easy to make a regular part of your daily routine. After all if you are active in a niche that your blog resides you will be interacting through comments regularly as a natural part of your day.
Social bookmarking is just a habit that needs to be fostered. Do make sure that you are bookmarking more than just your posts. Again if you are active in your niche this is easy because you will find quality information from others regularly.
That leaves writing articles which can be extremely powerful but is not easy to make part of your regular routine. It does not have to be because if you have done a two part blog post it is fairly simple to use that as a basis for an article. You just need to be aware and use the content you are already creating by repurposing it. Adding an article submission each week should take you less than 30 minutes but at the end of the year you now have 50 articles out and around the net drawing visitors and creating links to your blog.
Want to take it up a level and you can use a service like Article Marketer where you can submit the article and they will distribute it for you to hundreds of directories.
Now an article, a comment or a bookmark won’t make a huge difference in your blog traffic but adding all of those regularly will make a huge difference in the traffic your blog gets.

Very true.. backlinks are very important and like you said, you can get them in many different ways. I think articles are a great way to do it since you are giving great value to the reader, then linking to your site… without just leaving a link and that’s it, where there’s not much incentive to click it for viewers.

I have to get into article writing! But yes, I am building my backlinks daily as well via commenting/stumbling posts of interest. It’s a great habit to get into.

Thanks for reminding us of these 3 way to get back links. I know all of these are important and should be done on a regular basis. This is something that I need to make a matter of focus and make sure all three are a part of what I do.

I have done a little to get more backlinks but I am sure I could use some more so I know I need to be paying more attention and commenting on other blogs a bit more. Thanks for the reminder and I can’t wait for the call.

I love your first line “little things done regularly that make a huge difference”. That’s true of blogging or any other project you have. Getting backlinks by using the 3 tips you mention is a great habit to get into. I need to work on Article Writing more – it’s one of those things I tend to put off to much.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the wake up call.
I haven’t been doing that and have let myself
go so to speak focusing on so many other things
and not building back-links daily and making
sure to comment productively.
I will definitely make sure to include this
as part of my daily routine from now on.
Thanks.
Just went to Article marketer.
Wow! That’s a great resource. Thanks a mill
for that. Gonna be sure to sign up and use that
service. Its simply amazing.

Made sure to bookmark this article. Not sure I fully appreciate the value of bookmarking. I have done so to many of my posts, but don’t do many others., Guess its time to make a change there.

Great post Mike, that’s especially true. Backlinks are very important for SEO, one of my favorite methods to build them is to either comment on other high traffic high PR blogs or to make a viral ebook that people can download from my blog and they link to it on their websites and blogs.

More great info on boosting traffic to your blogs, Mike!
One of the most-overlooked backlink strategies is pinging your Twitter feed – Twitter provides an RSS feed of each person’s tweets, so after one tweets links to their blog they should grab the feed URL and ping it just like they do their blog.
As for Article Marketer, couldn’t agree with you more – it’s my tool of choice too!
