Article Directory :: Internet Marketing/Online Business Articles Are Backlinks Still That Important? By Jeff Schuman Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 14Nov2011 Word count: 480 Viewed: 179 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site To make money online we all need more website traffic. Website traffic comes in many ways. On the Internet today there are so many ways to get traffic to a website I would need to write an ebook and not an article to list all of them. This raises the question of whether backlinks are still as important as they were in the past to make money. I like to think of the number of backlinks I have as a vote for my site. A backlink is when you have your website address on somebody else's website. Your total number of backlinks would be how many unique web pages are linking to your home page or inner web pages. Search engines look at your backlinks as a sign of importance or popularity. You can not always control who links you. As a matter of fact it is to your benefit to have viral back linking going on. This is where people are linking to you naturally. This could be linking to a blog post you made. It might be putting your homepage link in an article they write, or online in some other way. When you look at the World Wide Web you see it is made up of links. For that reason backlinks will always be important. Backlinks are a barometer as to who is paying attention to your site. How can you get more backlinks? Article marketing still works. However, I like to use a submission site called Submit Your Article. They have an article leverage program that allows you to rewrite your articles so the article directories are getting unique versions of the article. Your link is in the resource box of every article that goes out. The more unique versions of that article that are published online the more backlinks you are going to get. You can also a hyperlink keyword phrases in the body of the article to be submitted into their blog network. This is a way to spread the number of links you're getting around. From a search engine optimization standpoint backlinks are still very important. This is the best way to rank for a targeted keyword phrase. Hyperlink that keyword phrase back to a specific page that targets it. As you increase the number of links you are getting you will climb in the rankings. Backlinks from pages with a higher page rank carry more weight with Google. However, over time even pages that do not rank high now can increase in rankings which will benefit you. Backlinks are still very important. It's the one way you can control where your site ranks for your own targeted keyword phrases.
