You stop what you are doing and listen attentively

Asking “how to add backlinks” is like asking “how do I make my car faster?” Your race car builder always has a simple answer: Horsepower costs money.
How much do you want to spend?
Okay, maybe I’m being a little facetious here, but it really isn’t far from the truth. Linkbuilding is either going to cost you time or money. No one gets backlinks for free regardless of the BS the “gurus” are putting out.
Yes, I know, you’ve probably read articles on how to get free backlinks and maybe some of you were hoping you’d get some of that advice in this article. Instead, I’m going to give you the cold, hard truth.
You’re either going to have to invest a lot of your time building backlinks, hire someone else to build backlinks, or use a service or automated software to build backlinks.
Either way, it’s going to cost you time or someone else’s time or spending money on software or services. Now that you’ve had the cold shower, let’s look at some of the options available to you. first we’ll look at the free options for building backlinks and then we’ll discuss how to add backlinks with the paid services and automated software.
How to add backlinks when you have lots of free time and no money…
These are the methods you use when your time is worth less than your money. in that case, I would focus on blog commenting. It’s one of the most effective ways I know of to build links, Google loves them, and you can sometimes get lucky and hit the jackpot with a link from a high pagerank blog.
Get a gravatar
First, you have to have a gravatar; It’s that little square picture that shows up next to people’s comments on blogs.
Go to Gravatar and sign up for one. It’s fast, easy and free.
Use an email address that you aren’t going to use for anything else.
Set up your Google Alerts…
Next, go to Google Alerts and set up alerts for each of your keyword phrases on your website (or at least the ones you really want to promote)
Again, it’s fast and easy to set up Google Alerts and it’s free. When you set it up, make sure you set it up for blog posts only. Otherwise, you’ll get alerts on every press release, article, or other non- commentable item that comes across the Internet. And tell Google you want the alerts once a day.
They will come to your email inbox every morning. Just click on each link and see what the blog says and whether they accept comments.
You also want to make sure that they will let you have a link back to your website. And preferably, there are other comments on the blog so you know there are actual readers.
How to do blog commenting to get a useful
Backlink?
Where it asks for your name, use the keyword hrase the Google Alert was sent for. That way our keyword phrase will be your anchor text.
Then just add in your blog commenting email and our website address. If the keyword phrase is for ne of your inner pages and not your home page, be sure to use that page’s URL for the website address.
Use the Free Version of Directory Submitter This should be next on your free links agenda. Directory Submitter is a free software for submitting your website to online directories.
When you get a little moola together, I suggest you get the full paid version. The free version lists 350 sites. The paid one lists over 900.
