Interested in promoting your web site to search engines? To do this will require many links around the internet pointing to (voting for) your site. There are many online to drop links, some are appropriate (general directories) some are not (wikihow). The purpose of this "how to" it to explain what a quality link is and how to go about getting one.

All links are not created equally. And there are 3 things we need to focus on when evaluating links, PR, Page Content & Anchor Text. The best links come from a combination of the 3.

Steps

1. Find a worthy web or article directory, or forum list (see tips below)
2. Navigate to the most appropriate category of the web or article directory or area of the forum
3. If this is a web directory, write an original title and description for each directory (see tips below). If it is an article directory submit an informational article such as "How to Lose 10Lbs in a Week" and include your link in the signature bio. If a forum, just talk about your subject, not your site. Publicising your site should happen naturally on forums, if not it is looked at as spamming.
4. Rinse and Repeat, but don't do too many in sitting. Link building should happen naturally (read: slowly)
5. The best place to get quality backlinks is using Social bookmarking websites: backlinks that will be used to evaluate your ranking in search engines should be marked as a do Follow backlinks, The top social bookmarking websites that will mark your backlinks with Do Follow includes StubmleUpon, Digg, Delicious, Tumblr, Reddit and similar sites.

Tips

• Anchor text (this is the text that is clickable) should be as descriptive as possible which include your targeted keywords. Avoid "click here" type language at all costs.
• Themed forums can be found by searching for your desired keyword then adding "forum" to the end. (ex [1] "construction forum" for instance)
• Write original content for your descriptions and titles. By doing this you will avoid any duplicate content penalty that might get enforced in the future.
• Try submitting to niche directories first as your best links will come from sites that are themed with the same content yours is.
• If you don't have any niche directories to submit to and cannot find a forum that is themed towards your niche, you can still take advantage of unique content by submitting to a directory that lets you edit the contents of the page. By writing themed content that surrounds your link, search engines better understand what your site is about.
• Social Bookmarking websites are great way to get backlinks, the top page ranked social bookmarking websites that set your backlinks as a Do Follow backlinks are the ones that you should use to build your backlinks.

Warnings

• Make sure to search for Top PageRank websites as backlinks from those sites have higher weight for search engines.
• Make sure to search for websites that mark your backlinks as DO Follow backlinks, backlinks set as No Follow have much less value to search engine when it comes to search engines ranking.
