Whether your website is new or not, building backlinks is a vital part of search engine optimization to drive traffic to your site. If you are selling a product or service, search engine traffic provides the most potential customers.

Since keywords typed into search engines is how visitors find what they are looking for,  whenever possible, your backlinks should contain anchor text (clickable text) of your targeted keywords. Varying the anchor text can help to rank for different keywords and at the same time the link building will look more natural.

Here are 5 sure fire ways to build backlinks for free to your site:

  1. Use Social Bookmarking sites: Blinklist, Mister Wong, Furl, Backflip
  2. Create profiles on Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin, MyBlogLog, Twitter and link to your site
  3. Join niche related forums and include links in your signature
  4. Create Squidoo lenses or Hubpages and link to your site using relevant keywords
  5. Submit articles to quality article directories like goarticles and ezinearticles with links to your site.

Always search for sites, to link from, that are high quality and have high pagerank. Having one-way links from these types of authority sites will help to get higher search engine ranking for your site, which means more traffic and sales.

Creating backlinks should be an ongoing process, gradually building them and not by thousands overnight. In time your link building efforts will pay off big time.
