- Guest Posts : when i was new to blogging,i read a post at labnol in which Matt Cutts called accepting Guest posts as useless and he suggested to post that content on your own blog which you were going to Guest Post. Later on i found it useful,Believe me it’s not just for backlinks,its much more as you get exposure to bloggers and audience of your niche.It is Beneficial for both bloggers and people who promoting their sites. Blogger gets unique and quality content and you get one way backlink to your site.
- Wiki Posting  : this is another very simple way of generating backlinks.Most of the links by these wiki sites are nofollow,however you can not consider nofollow useless.You have to simply sign up and enter your URL with keyword on the your profile page.
You have to insert links like this : Â [http://www.yourdomain.com your anchor text here]
 some wiki sites worth a try :

http://handlab.iit.edu
http://wagnerpedia.wagner.edu

http://wiki.maliit.org - Social Bookmarking : Just bookmark your each post on multiple social networks.This will give you instantaneous SERP boost.It will also help you in generating backlinks as well as your blog will be indexed quickly by Googlebot. You can use sites like socialmarker or socialposter,it will save your little time.Social Bookmarking is very effective in dragging targeted and high traffic to your site.Here are some Social Bookmarking sites which are worth a try: 1 – http://slashdot.org (PR9) 2 – http://digg.com (PR8) 3 – http://technorati.com (PR8) 4- http://www.furl.net (PR7) 5 – http://www.backflip.com (PR7) 6 – http://www.hugg.com (PR7) 7 – http://www.mixx.com (PR7) 8 – http://ma.gnolia.com (PR7) 9 – http://www.connotea.org (PR7) 10 – http://mystuff.ask.com (PR7)
- Â Tumblr Links: It will be right if i say that biggest strength of Tumblr is biggest weakness of Google.Do you know you can get many high PR dofollow links with your anchor text from Tumblr within few minutes.May be this can be reason behind its called Greyhat method at seomoz.Tumblr reblogs are Dofollow.Just signup at Tumblr with your username as keyword.You will get activation link after few minutes just activate your account.Open the settings and link your domain to Tumblr so that you can generate Backlinks for that domain.
Then just open any high PR Tumblr page and click on reblog this.
After that you will be able to see your link something like this :
ABC reblogged this from DEF
Here ABC is your username as keyword with a dofollow link and DEF is the URL of the source.By installing SEOQuake firefox addon you can get pagerank information of each result in search results.You need to add custom URL to the link for which you want backlinks.Just type site:tumblr.com “reblogged this” .In search settings increase the number of results to 100,You can also export results to CSV.Likes are nofollow and reblogs are dofollow.
I prefer to generate backlinks via Tumblr gradually.I make 10 links each day but those 10 links are of minimum PR5.Here are some Tumblr pages worth reblogging(backlinking):
Please don’t spam them as its my own Tumblr Re-blogging list

http://staff.tumblr.com/post/16866298700/theres-still-time-to-nominate-your-tumblr-blog-for-thez - Blog Commenting : How can we forget blog commenting,yes i have already discussed about how to generate backlinks via blog commenting so i will be discussing additional instead of repeating.I will suggest you to do this process manually and gradually or you will be called a spammer.Instead try to find blogs with recent comments and comment in them regularly.I found a blog of PR2 with recent comments and i commented on that blog regularly to make my link stable in recent comments.Since,recent comments widget was on every page that single blog gave me 1272 links yes that too dofollow.
- Links From Article Directories :nowadays there are so much of Blackhat products available online such as article marketing robot,Social Bookmarking Daemon etc all are nothing more than crap.Let me tell you my experience with Article Marketing Robot,I took a trial in which you can submit to 500 article directories But i was only able to sign up at 66 directories,submit at 13 directories and out of those 13 only 5 were pr1 and 1 was pr2 rest were 0.So the time i wasted in using this AMR could be utilized in manually submitting to better article directories.If you want permanent and high pr backlinks via article directories then submit the article with the best spinner (no you got me wrong i meant here our brain 🙂 ) and manually submit to these directories : 1 ezinearticles.com PR 6 2 articlesbase.com PR 6 3 suite101.com PR 7 4 buzzle.com PR 6 5 helium.com PR 6 6 articlesnatch.com PR 5 7 goarticles.com PR 4 8 articlealley.com PR 5 9 articledashboard.com PR 5 10 selfgrowth.com/articles.html PR 5 I remove the shallow content from my blog and then i edit it and manually submit to above article directories.I put a link to my blog in source however you can put two links but they should not be same page.
- Forum Profile Links : Yet another under estimated way of generating Backlinks.Usually people just create a profile and leave link in it oh that’s the biggest mistake they do.It reduces the link efficiency thus link juice.Instead we should sign up at forums related to our niche and after few time start posting content linked to our site so that it does not look spammy as well as we will get better link juice due to our relevant content.Even a single forum can help you in getting good amount of link juice.I think Digital Point Forums will be a good place to start with.If we use this method correctly then it can create wonders for us.You can search yourself for more,as already discussed in previous posts: In google searchEnter your main keyword then paste this: “powered by vBulletin” “powered by BlogEngine” “powered by yabb” “powered By MyBB” “powered by ip.board” “powered by phpbb” “powered by phpbb3″
- Yahoo Answers : Answer queries related to your niche and simply leave URL of your domain in source.This will help you in attracting traffic towards your site especially the people reading your answers can be converted into your affiliates if played wisely.
- Links From Youtube : Make video tutorials of your blog posts and upload it at Youtube with link to the post at your blog as description.Make sure that you watermark videos with Your Blog’s URL.It does not matter that Google will not index your blog’s URL but if your video ranked well then it can help you in bringing traffic.
- Web and Blog Directories : People’s first question : Do web and blog directories still work after Google Panda Update ? My Answer : Yes they do,If directories are of high authority not the spammy ones.There are many free directories available online but its hard to find any working.It takes little time for links to get approved but its good ways of getting free links.Here are some SEO friendly Dofollow directories list. PR: 8 http://www.dmoz.com PR: 6 http://www.bizjournalsdirectory.com http://www.zoominfo.com/ http://www.incrawler.com/ PR: 5 http://searchsight.com/ http://www.illumirate.com http://www.info-listings.com http://www.ubdaily.com http://directory.classifieds1000.com http://www.directorym.net http://www.prolinkdirectory.com http://www.dmegs.com <<–Credit for this blog directory list–> Time is a great factor in link building i have seen many sellers selling huge backlinks in short interval of time.This created a strong doubt in my mind that whether these links harm your site or not ? If yes then any Blackhat spammer can blast links to our site to decrease our rankings.That will mean Google is Fool. But Matt Cutts clarification made it very clear to me.Matt Cutts say “There is nothing your competitor can do to affect your rankings” But how is this possible ? After reading further i came to know that Google will ignore those links depending on the existing quality and reputed links you are having.So if you have some quality links to your site then those Fiverr gigs will neither benefit nor harm your site. Have i missed any working way to generate backlinks ? Let me and readers know if you know any further way via commenting on this post.I would love to hear your opinions on this post especially.

Don’t know about that how akismet mark our comment as spam . i also see some good bloggers comments in spam section of my Blog . Is it correct , if someone block our comment as spam it will send all our comment to spam section ?
no it is not correct even i faced this issue.it can be only solved by contacting the support guys of akismet as they have access to the database of spammers.
Hi Aakash, I am unable to get backlink from tumblr. When I leave my url in custom domain name box, It shows an error. Something like this:
Status of “yoursite.com”
This domain’s A-record is not pointing to Tumblr. It is currently set to “xxx.xx.xx.xx”. Please change the A-record to “66.6.xx.x”. How to get rid of this problem?
