First off, what is “SEO”?  SEO is and acronymn for “Search Engine Optimization”.  This is the practice of optimizing a website/blog to attract the search engine “bots”.  If your website/blog is optimized correctly, the search engines see it as “being of value” to their search customers and bumps you up in the rankings.

One critical component of SEO is “backlinking”.  This is the process of having high quality incoming links connected to your website/blog. 

What is considered a “high quality” link and how do I get them?  A “high quality” link is a link that has quality content similar to the content that is on your website/blog.  For instance, this blog is about internet marketing and success on the internet.  A high quality backlink would be another site that is about internet marketing and success on the interent (such as Alex Jeffreys or Garry Parkes blogs).  Websites/blogs that have your website/blog keywords in the anchor text are golden backlink candidates!

An example of a “low quality” backlink would contain information about (for instance) pet products.  A pet product site has nothing to do with internet marketing, so the search engines would not place much value on this backlink.  The search engines may even penalize you for having such a link as it may appear to them that you are link spamming, a very bad thing!

A quick way to get several high quality backlinks is by submiting to directorys.  The search engines crawl these sites several 100 times per day.  Each time they crawl they see your website/blog as being linked to the directory and assume it is a quality link and gives your site “clout” in the rankings.

There are several SW products that sell for $100.00 or more that will get this done for you automatically…BUT, you can get a FREE one right here!  How cool is that?  Either click the “Free Back Links Generator” button on the right, or click “HERE”.  A fellow Alex Jeffreys student created this little program and was generous enough to share!  Thanks Keith!!

OK, get busy getting your FREE high quality backlinks!  Oh yeah, also post comments on other blogs that have similar content to yours.  When the moderator of the blog you just commented-on posts a reply to your post, presto you have another high quality backlink!!
