This is for you if you feel you don't get enough hits to your website or you don't have enough links in the search engines to your website or you are simply not getting the sales you want. If you submit your website to the search engines that is fantastic but, you may just find that you need more than a couple of references to your site to get the hits and sales. To do this you need to create backlinks. A backlink is where you submit an advertisement or a article to a number of sites that get indexed by the search engines.

This in turn gives you literally thousands of links back to your website. For example if you type my name "Katherine Quirke" in Google the first 20 pages are linked direct to my online businesses! Why? because I actively create backlinks for my websites. While this may sound like something to put in the too hard basket think again. It is not difficult and you don't need to learn much to do it.

All you need is a couple of hours to setup and after that you don't need to spend more than an hour a week promoting your website to the search engines via backlinks. So how can this be done so easily? Lets take articles just like this one. Articles are sought after content to place in websites, blogs and for general learning.

Articles are submitted to ezines - online magazines. These eZines are loaded with information that you can use or discard at your leisure. They also contain information about business and web links. eZine articles are the most powerful form of getting backlinks to the search engines. This is because there are thousands of people looking to learn and to learn from you.

Writing an article is quite easy. If you have the knowledge about a topic and you can write a letter you can write an article for publishing in an eZine. There are a number of ways you can publish to ezines. One is subscribe and submit your article individually or use a article submission service and publish to hundreds of ezines in one click. This article is being published to hundreds of eZines in one click via an article submission service.

I can then monitor how many people read it and publish it to their website. Publishing your articles individually is extremely time consuming and you cannot monitor how popular the article is. Once your article is approved and published the eZine is scanned by the search engines and you will see your article and subsequent links in the search engines often within days. The second most effective way of getting your website into the search engines as a backlink is via forums. You can join hundreds and thousands of web based forums and write to them. Here again it is a time consuming job to do this individually.

You can however write a number of postings for the forums and submit in one click. Forums, just like eZines are regularily searched and indexed to the search engines. Not only will you get people interested on the Forum sites about what you have to say you will get the double dip of being found in the search engines. Finally the biggest advantage of submitting articles to eZines and postings to forums is.

The more your site gets clicked on the more popular it is and the higher the Google Ranking will be! The best thing of all you get the chance to share your knowledge with the world while building your business. There is nothing more rewarding! Blessings and Happy Business Building.
