Almost every serious webmaster knows that the real money is in backlinks. The more you have, the higher your site will rank in the search engines, and ultimately you’ll make more money.

Let’s say there are two sites with backlinks of the same quality. One of them has 10,00 backlinks, and the other one has 50,000 backlinks. Which one do you think Google is going to consider more important? Obviously the one with 50,000 backlinks.

But then again, quantity isn’t everything. The quality of the backlinks is another important factor that search engines take into consideration when ranking your site. For example, let’s say we have two technology blogs. One has 1,000 backlinks from sites like TechCruch, Lifehacker, ArsTechnica, Gizmodo etc. and the other blog has 5,000+ backlinks from a few unknown technology blogs. Who do you think will rank higher in the search engines? The first one of course.

Quality and quantity are just two of the many factors search engines use to rank a site. Other factors are the anchor text, topic of the blog, age of the domain, PageRank of the blog and tons of others. But what we will focus on right now is the quantity of backlinks. You see, the thing about backlinks is that you can never get enough of them. Even if you reach #1 in Google, a couple of more thousand backlinks won’t do any harm. So, how exactly do you build thousands of backlinks towards your site for free?

That’s what we’ll be looking at today. Here are 7 methods that may result if thousands of free backlinks: Use them at your own risk.

Just thirty-something years ago, the Internet was something mysterious - little people new about it and even less knew how to use it. At that time, the idea of any average Joe starting his own website was absurd; something not even thought of. The whole idea of websites, HTML, and all that was very an enigma to many, let alone the idea of making money using the Internet.

Nowadays, things are different. Now, each and every human being on this earth has been introduced to the Internet. (Well, at least most of them.) The Internet isn’t something we stop to think about at any time of our day, but something we use as we breath—it just happens.

Some say that this dependence on the Internet is okay; I mean, it is helping millions communicate worldwide and is giving us access to a huge amount of information. On the other hand, others claim that the Internet is one of the reasons people have lost social skills, and that it has destroyed the minds of this new generation.

99% Of Your Blog’s Readers Will Never Comment On Your Blog.

Comments are a way to show appreciation and gratitude toward a blogger, yet there are blogs with hundreds of thousands of readers that get no more than fifty comments per post. What’s up with that?

Maybe the style of writing doesn’t compel the reader to leave a comment. Or could it be that the blog doesn’t sport the “community feel” and that readers don’t see the purpose of leaving comments? (TechCrunch has over one million readers, yet each post has an average of fifty comments!)

The truth is, that’s just how it has and will always be. Not everyone that reads your posts will leave a comment, and it’s time for you to accept the truth of the matter - but there are certain techniques you can use to engage your readers and have them leave a piece of their mind.
