One-Way Backlinks – 3 Ways to Build One-Way Backlinks
Of all the various ways to boost your blog’s or website’s ranking in the search engine results pages (SERPs), one-way backlinks are amongst the most important and most valuable SEO techniques to use. There are three common techniques for generating backlinks to your sites and blogs, and each has it’s own place in your traffic generation strategy.
Hiring An SEO Firm To Get You Backlinks:
The first is paying an SEO company to get them for you – this can be hit and miss based on which companies you use, but in time you can find and stick with a good one.
Benefits: Doesn’t take up much of your time – you’re on to other projects while they get you your links. Drawbacks: Can be very expensive to get links from good PR sites, and paid ads on sites with high Page Rank are overly expensive for most marketers.
Article Marketing To Get You BackLinks:
Second is article marketing – the reliable old way to get your name out there, establish your credibility and generate a lot of one-way backlinks to your sites. There are hundreds, if not thousands of article directories out there just waiting for your articles, and you can build a ton of backlinks over time both from your articles being at the directories, and from people using your articles on their sites and blogs.
Benefits: Unlimited number of links can be generated, both by writing and submitting more articles and by submitting your articles to more directories. It also gives you a chance to prove yourself an expert in your field, and build a reputation amongst the other marketers in your niche. And it’s free if you do the work yourself. Disadvantages: Not everyone is a good writer, has the time to research & write article content, or can think up enough topics to keep a steady stream of new articles rolling out. Outsourcing your article submissions saves a lot of time but is expensive, while submitting articles yourself takes a lot of time if you want wide exposure.
Blog Commenting To Generate One-Way Backlinks:
The newest of the three common ways to get one-way backlinks is by commenting on blogs within your niche. Not just any blogs, though – WordPress uses a ‘no-follow’ tag by default, and most bloggers just leave it that way. Specifically you want to concentrate on blogs that have both the ‘Do-Follow’ and ‘CommentLuv’ plugins installed, as we do here at the Top Traffic Tips Blog. The Do-Follow tag tells search engines to follow your backlink and spider your blog or website, while CommentLuv fetches the last blog post you put online and links to it using your post’s title, thus ensuring your keywords are in the linking text – you ARE using keywords in every heading, right?
Benefits: My own experience using all 3 methods have shown blog commenting to be the most effective way to get one-way backlinks quickly to a new site, blog or affiliate link. While they don’t go viral like your articles do, the time involvement is much less. You simply take your list of appropriate blogs in your niche, and comment on 3-5 of them a day. This keeps the backlinks coming in over time, the way the search engines prefer, and gets links to your various posts according to what your last post was when you make your comment. External one-way backlinks to a lot of different pages in your blog or on your site is truly powerful – more powerful than all of them pointing just to your home page. And, like article marketing, intelligent commenting helps to build your rep as an expert in your field, and leads to more people cliocking through to your link.
Disadvantages: None, really, except the time it takes to locate the proper blogs in the first place, and that’s been solved for you now, with the release of a new directory of appropriate blogs to gain one-way backlinks from – you can download the report with both PDF and CSV copies of over 4,000 blogs to get one-way backlinks from by commenting there, ranging from PR0 to PR7. Start with the list, and find the one’s best suited to your target market, then work your way through, again 3-5 blogs per day.
Two Caveats about your backlink-building campaign – first, don’t ignore article marketing – keep it in your mix because of the long-term viral effect it has in building backlinks to your site. For every four or five days you spend on blog commenting, spend one on article marketing. Just be sure you start with the blog commenting, since it can generate traffic the fastest and points to different pages within your blog or site.
Second, do not – I repeat, DO NOT use auto-commenting software for this – be professional and visit the blogs yourself, leaving intelligent comments relating directly to the blog post you’re commenting on. First, almost every blog using the Do-Follow tag is moderated, so your comments won’t get through anyway. And after you’ve hit them a half-dozen times with spam comments, no matter how complimentary you are, they’ll simple add your IP address to the banned list to avoid having to delete your posts, and will report the comments as spam.
A long-term mix of blog commenting and article marketing will certainly bring you all the traffic you want, so grab the Do-Follow Blog Report now and get started!
To your success building one-way backlinks…

Thanks Doug! I purchased the report. This really sounds worthwhile. Blog commenting is something I have neglected to do until recently. It actually is a really quick way to build links. Wish I used it earlier!
Great information Doug (as usual)
I have been using both the article marketing and the blog commenting and have already begun to notice results that far exceed anything I have done up until this point.
As far as hiring an SEO firm, I would have to agree to the fact that is out of reach for the majority of Internet Marketers who are just starting out. Most people get into this as a way to try to bring in some extra money to help with bills and to buy some things that they would not have otherwise been able to get so money is usually a little tight.
Thanks again for the great post!
BTW: I just picked up the report and all I can say is wow! This thing could keep me busy for years! I especially like the CSV file so I can sort the reports (yes, there are actually three separate reports – total 328 pages) the way that I like.
I’ve downloaded the 4,000 e-Book and may give it a try.
I gave up on articles ages ago – they produce nothing at all.
No clicks – no sales.
As for “viral” – I think that’s a product of somebody’s imagination.
Just like affiliate sales from links in e-Books. Four Years and still waiting for the first sale.
Not with any sense of anticipation, anymore.
I will give this a go as I don’t go to any forums and, with this, all I have to do is fake a pertinent comment. Should be easy.
I have no idea what ‘commentLuv’ is so I’ll just ignore it. LOL
No, I don’t use keywords in my headers or bodies. I write the articles in my own words, not Google’s.
This does look good, though, as you say, it will be hard work, not to mention that visiting all those blogs is going to be painfully boring.
I really enjoyed reading this. I thought the information was very good and very helpful. I know the information will be helpful for my site. And the link to the ebook was a very nice touch. Very inexpensive and will also be helpful. Thanks a lot.
I can see that this is a valuable resource. It takes so much time to find the “do follow” even with the software they have for doing that. Thank you so much. This is quite a generous gift, and as you can see I can’t wait to get started. LOL
Thanks Doug, this will be a great resource for me, and for my Micro Business friends.
Doug,
Very good information. Of the three methods, I am using article marketing and blog commenting create the backlinks to my blog and it is working just fine. I currently don’t have the budget and the time to contact the bigger sites to put up paid advertising…..
This information also fits in well with the Application part of my K.A.R. (Knowledge-Application-Results) System because it shows how others can apply these types of actions to create results (traffic) back to their own websites.
Keep up the great work and thanks for all of the help you have provided.

I have a question for you, why more than 4000 blog is not using the nofollow system? whether they are blogs that have not been applying the concept of spam in comment form?
Hi Doug:
Lots of excellent information, thanks.
Maybe a silly question, but, is it a good or bad indicator if there are no comments made after a post?
Thanks Doug. Great information.
You have explained this very well. I never did understand the back links part. So this has been a great help.

Wow – easy to see this post is on a poopular subject by all the comments left here – will get more info on this method posted soon! In the meantime, be sure to grab your report from Rick Macaulay now!
Thanks to all who commented…
Doug Champigny.
Useful information about obtaining backlinks – having set up a some new sites recently I’ve been carrying out these tasks – but finding sites with do follow is time consuming. I have a question though – should we concentrate on commenting on sites in a similar niche to drive the best backlinks or does google not mind if the referring site is relevant?
Hi Doug, great article.and information. Thanks for the article,

Phew…
This is going to take some getting through.
I suppose I’d better start.
Thanks Doug.

I’d like to subscribe via email but don’t see the option?
That will sign me up for post updates of this blog? I’m really not looking for a newsletter of anykind… thanks.
Remember, in today’s competitive Internet environment, if you would like a successful site then you have to do at least as much or more SEO than the sites on the first page of search engine results.
I have used tips 2 and 3 and have been successful with my blog. I am about to try 3 way links. This is where you create a link from Blog A to Blog B, then Blog B creates a link to Blog C, then Blog C creates the final link back to Blog A. It sounds like a lot of work but I have read that if you create a niche network of friends it can work great. But I agree that one-way links are still the best way to go.
Sorry it took so long to find it and reply; there’s no subscribe to comments feature.
This I know, but I never use readers as I never remember to check ‘em….this is no good to either party.
Great ways of building backlinks really. Thanks so much for sharing these useful tricks.
blog commenting is agood way to get backlinks. you can generate traffic with blog commenting everyday if you want.
you can find do follow with a software but do not attack with a huge comment like spamm. you can find the do follow and use it by comment with manual not direct in the software that you use.. this is for a long term backlinks.
Hiring an SEO firm is something I stay well clear of. First because of reasons you mentioned in your post i.e it can be hit or miss
Second because building your business involves your online reputation. Not knowing where the links they are generating for my site are coming from is a little bit of a worry
And finally SEO and link building really is not a once and for all process. It is something you continually do So when do I sto paying the SEO expert?
Very informative article. I have seen you appreciate article marketing and blog commenting. Agree with you regarding the benefit. Why do you not pay any attention of forum signatures.
I had a site where I promote it for 10.15 million competitive keywords only using forum signatures. I find it very effective. One major advantage is referral traffic getting from signatures.
Thanks for a great article Doug. I’ve never tried article writing before but although it looks fairly time consuming I’ll give it a go. Does anyone know if re-using the same article on different sites is a bad idea due to the repetition? Many thanks.
Thanks for the post.
I’m really trying hard to get some links for my site.
Great Article Mate! Thanks for you help.
Thanks you for preparing such a good report. I have downloaded it already. I agree, one way backlinks can be easily be obtain from the blog commenting. However, we must give a good comments so that the blog owner will appreciate that too.
my site is new and I am trying to get some one way backlinks from now after reading this post. I accidently came over to your blog and it seems that I am glad it happened. Is the PR for the sites valid now???
An imp question to you Doug, how to submit to search engines?
I’ll try to follow all three ways to build links to my site. Thanks for sharing.
