Link popularity is important to your website receiving the maximum amount of traffic. This is because the search engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN look for other websites linking to your website to help determine how popular your website is. The more outside websites that link to your website, the higher your link popularity is and therefore the more traffic you will receive from the search engines.

You can start building your link popularity today with a few simple steps. There are paid methods to do this, as well as free methods. Most beginning webmasters will want to start with free methods before moving onto paid methods.

Using the blogosphere to help build your link popularity and backlink profile is a perfect way for a beginner to get started. Because there are so many blogs out there, you’re sure to find somewhere to post to. And because the internet is “on” 24-7, it’s just a matter of getting going.

What you want to do is go to Google. At the top is a link to blogs. Click that. Then enter a term related to the website you want to build links for. Then, you’ll go to each of the sites that come up in the results.

Commenting is always available on blogs. So to build links, you’ll read the article to make sure it’s relevant to your website. Then you’ll find the ‘Comments’ link and add a comment about the blog post.

In the comment area, there are usually three areas to fill out. These are Name, URL and email address. Make sure the URL field has your complete website URL in it so you actually get a link from the blog you are posting a comment on.

The bigger box is for you to actually input the comment you want to add. Never, ever spam the blog you are trying to get a link from because they will probably just delete your comment.

Ensure that whatever comment you leave, it’s relevant and useful. Read their article and if you have another point to add, do so. You can also ask a question or compliment the blog author.

Once your comment is complete, hit the “Submit” button. Some blogs will publish your comment immediately and you will be able to see it, and your link, right away. Some blogs will hold your comment for manual approval by the blog owner; in this case, you may receive a message that your comment is being held in moderation.

Once you’re done with your comment, get back to Google’s Blog Search and find all the other entries on your niche. Then leave comments on ALL of them. The more places you leave comments, the more links you are getting in return, which will increase your own traffic.

This is a simple, free way to being immediately begin building your link popularity today. If you repeat the process weekly, or even daily, you’ll find new blogs listed for you to leave comments on. By repeating this process on a regular schedule you’ll be able to build your backlinks over time.
