Creating Backlinks Using Authority Blogs
Backlinks From Authority Blogs
Search engines love blogs, and backlinks posted on authority blogs spaces will give you instant search engine “juice”, with very little work involved.
When it comes to generating backlinks with blogs, you need to:
1) Find authority blogs that provide a ‘do follow’ for your backlinks (the only kind of blogs where a link back to your site will count as a “vote”.)
2) You explore and read the blog and then you make an insightful, useful or relevant comment to the post that is likely to be approved by the blog’s administrator.
3) Include your back-link or backlinks with relevant anchor text on the blog.
4) Rinse & Repeat
You can also generate valid backlinks by creating your own remotely hosted blog as well.
These sites often have substantial authority with search engines, so they have the potential to provide some of that authority to your own sites.

You also have fewer rules to deal with that you would at a site like Squidoo or an article directory, so you can link to your own site in every post if you wish. You could even create multiple backlinks in a single post as long as you don’t go overboard and you provide quality content.
The main requirement most blog hosts have is that you post quality content. They don’t want their sites to turn into massive link farms, and they don’t want to host a bunch of untouched PLR or stolen content.
There are two main authority blogs hosts:
http://www.blogger.com
http://www.wordpress.com
The main difference between Blogger.com and WordPress.com is the fact that Blogger allows affiliate links and WordPress doesn’t. If you host a blog on WordPress.com instead of your own domain, you won’t be able to make any “commercial” posts. You could create backlinks to your own blog, but if you aren’t careful, it could be seen as commercial and be taken down.
Blogger does allow commercial posts, as long as you are careful to post quality content. You want to make sure your blog doesn’t look like a “splog” (spam blog) or it could be taken down.
I advise making a new blog for every main keyword phrase you wish to rank for, and making at least 5-10 posts of at least 200 words on each blog. This way it looks like you are actually contributing real content. If you create dozens of blogs each with one post, you will probably be flagged.
Each blog would have multiple posts about that specific topic, and each post would ideally provide backlinks directly to a corresponding page on your own site that is based around that particular keyword.
For example, your blog about crocheting sweaters might have the following piece of text at the end of every post:
” If you want to learn more about crocheting sweaters, visit my page on it here: How to Crochet Sweaters. I have extensive tips and patterns for free! “
In the above example, I’ve used two different keyword phrases for the backlinks. You could link to two different pages on your site, or you could link once to your main page, and once to a secondary page.
When generating backlinks from authority blogs and established communities, you can include your backlinks within the website URL attached to your post as well as within your actual comment box (if permitted).
When creating your backlinks, make sure that you use anchor text to describe the website where you are directing people to.
To do this, you need to include a bit of HTML code to create your back-link with anchor text:
Example- <a href=”http://www.link.com”>Your Anchor Text</a>
You want to make sure that you include relevant keywords within your actual anchor text so that you can rank for specific keywords.
One thing to keep in mind as well is that you should never use keywords that are already a part of your website title or domain name but instead, focus on including keywords that you hope to rank for but are not already optimized or included on your own site.
When searching for authority blogs to build backlinks from, you should always focus on relevant blogs that focus on the same niche market you are.
Since you will not only generate backlinks and traffic from the increased exposure within the search engines, you will also attract attention from blog visitor’s who read your post, you want to make sure that you spend your time posting on authority blogs that are likely to draw in targeted visitors.
