Why do you need back links to your blog? Back links help you get higher ratings on the search engines. That helps you to get more targeted traffic to your blog. That also helps you to get more sales if you have your blog monetized ( with things to sell or a link to a web site that has things to sell.) You want people to read what you are writing and buy what you are selling. These are the main reasons that you want as many back links as you can get.
Now how do you get back links?
1. Write good content that people want to read. This way people read what is here and tell others that they found a good blog. This takes a long time to do it this way. It does help. When people follow your work they have it on the blog that they write so that others can see it as well.
2. Write quality articles and submit them to article directories. This helps more, your articles can be picked up and posted in other forum, blog and ezines. They are always looking for new things to put in the publications. They also get directed back to your blog, from the other sources.
3. Participate in forums, discussion boards, that are related to your blog. Write good comments. This get you known in a lot of different places. Make friends with the people in these groups. ( a note do not spam them in these groups. If you are always saying buy my products every time that you say something they are not going to want to come to your blog. They already know what you are selling and do not want it.) Make comments that are relevant to the topic that they are talking about.
4. Find other blogs that are in your niche. Make good comments on their blog add good information to the topic. They might even come to your blog if they like what you have to say. You might even gain a friend. If you like something that they said on their blog, write about it on your blog with a link back to them. Send them an email saying that your blog has a link back to their blog. Do they want to see what you said? They might even do the some for you sometime.
5. Submit your blog to web directories, as many as you can. The more the better. This gets you more targeted traffic and higher on the search engine rankings. Start out with the free directories and when you have more income coming in also do the paid directories. These directories already have the high traffic so the search engines find you sooner than they might otherwise. With the keywords that you use. Make sure that you are using good keywords.
How are your back links? We would like to know the progress that you make. Please leave a comment.

Hi Dan and Deanna,
you always put great information on your blog; simple and straight to the point.
I think that great content is the most important thing for attracting traffic looking long term. Comments are a good technique and I've seen an increase from blog directories. Some people stick, some don't, but people find a link to your blog when searching something in particular which is great because the link stays and there is always someone new researching.
Another very important thing when blogging is tagging. Proper tagging can bring you extra traffic. I know it's not back linking but it's similar. That's another technique I found helpful.
Stella, thank you for your comments. Tagging is just as important as back links. Every thing help get you that much more traffic. That is what we need and want. Nice to hear from you again.
