Many of you know that if you have several back links to your website from other sites with a great page rank in Google, you can increase the SEO power of your site.

There are several reasons to back link, especially if you’re an affiliate. While it is true that 5 back links from a website with a great page rank can be more effective for SEO than 15 back links with a not-so-great page rank, back links aren’t only about SEO.

There are plenty of things that you should know about back links, and they don’t just have to do with the page rank quality. Read on to make sure you’re conceptualizing and using back links in the most appropriate way.

1. Bad Back links
   Many people pay advertising firms or freelance contractors to create back links to their sites. While this is a great idea, I’ve seen many situations happen where instead of reliable, well-written back links, firms are posting what essentially amounts to comment spam on blogs with good page ranks.

   If you want a link to a site with a good page rank, it’s better to approach the webmaster, offer the value of your site to them and offer to trade a link, and see what happens without pushing. If not, you could end up with a real PR issue on your hands. A company with a great page rank, and a site with lots of readers, could create real problems for you if you’re sending people over to spam on their blogs. Approach people with civility and caution, and you won’t have any problems.

2. Back Linking for More than Organic Success
   Sometimes, a back link isn’t only good for getting your site higher in the organic listings. Google may value back links highly as part of the organic algorithm, but other search engines like Bing rely more on on-site factors.

   If you are selling something on your site, or doing some affiliate marketing, it’s a good idea to use back links in order to get more converting visitors to your site – not just for SEO.

   You don’t necessarily have to worry about page rank if you’re doing it this way – find a site that’s relevant to what you’re selling, and politely insert a back link to your site than can attract attention from visitors that may possibly convert.

3. Back Linking with Social Media
   You can bump your SEO and increase your social media brand by linking your websites to various social media accounts. It’s always a good idea to get your brand’s reach out there as far as possible. Linking from Youtube, Facebook, etc. may not traditionally be the kind of back linking that’s referred to out there, but it’s important to establish your network and create a link between your various identities on the net.

Back linking isn’t just about seeking out who’s out there with a great page rank – it can be applied in all sorts of different ways. Choose the one that’s best for your marketing plan.
