SEO & backlinks- how do they help you?
Backlinks are links that point to your website from another online location. When search engines such as Google look at your website, they look at many different factors to help them determine whether or not your site is popular and number and quality of backlinks pointing to the site is one of the main factors. The more links pointing to your site, the more likely you are to be considered an authority in your niche and that will bring you more traffic.

Backlinks are the easiest ways to build site rankings. You save effort and time because the work is quite simple and targeted, as long as you know exactly what to do. Backlinks are usually targeted to blog, social bookmarking, forums, and others as long as they have high page ranks. Online businesses can't ignore backlink building if they want to be successful. To achieve the same results, they save time, money and effort compared to other techniques in SEO.

If you're trying to make money from home with your computer, it's a very good idea to start a backlink generating campaign. Getting back links is a great way to improve your SEO.

Structuring back links

When deciding to point from other sites to your site, it's a good idea to do some keyword research to help you get the best search engine potential as well. Optimized keyword anchored backlinks will help your site rank for that keyword so that when people are searching for whatever it is that you are selling, there is more of a potential of your site being listed in the top results for that keyword. There are a lot of different keyword analyzing tools that can help you determine the best keywords to use in your backlink strategy. It's a much better idea to anchor with a relevant keyword than to just simply list the http address. By listing an address as the link name, you get SEO points but only for those searching for your URL name instead of by keyword which is the way people tend to search.
