Now that you have created a content rich valuable and entertaining blog, what you want now  is to  a fair amount of relevant public viewing of your web page.

Just follow these simple tips to gain backlinks through social networking:

3. Commenting on blogs is an excellent method of attracting backlinks. You should not only comment and attach a link to your site, but also ensure that you post it to a relevant blog post. Most importantly ensure that the blog you are commenting on is niche related. So If you have a dog training tips blog, don’t comment on a blog about female health issues. Its largely about relevance to your niche.

4. To get that all import traffic and life blood to your blog attract more traffic, do a google search for a topic relevant to your blogs niche then write a “How to” article. For example, if your blog is about dog training tips then you could post an article about “How to stop Airedale aggression”. This presents a solution to a problem and it attracts the targeted audience to click on to your link and visit your Blog.

5. Then submit your article to a social bookmarking site. Submit your blog to the popular social bookmarking sites and don’t forget to submit articles at a regular pace. You can do it yourself, or you may outsource the job to a professional content developer, I personally use a student from a local college. Yes theres a price tag! Its well the dollars.

6. Give something away. Offer something for free. For example, free software or free tips, Free e-books. Anything ‘free’ is always popular and people will love it. In short give your target audience a reason to comeback to your blog, even if it to use the software you offer on your blog, or which ever useful resources you have to offer.

7. Join some niche specific groups in your favourite social networking site.  such as FriendsWin or MySpace, or facebook, Google groups is a great place to do this and these groups also have a high presence in the SE’s. 

As you initiate the process of gaining backlinks through extensive social networking, consider the loopholes as well.

8. While creating network groups and posting articles, be careful as they might violate the Terms of Service for that particular website and get you banned.

9. Avoid putting your links on pages that are over crowded with other links. It will lower your Page Rank.

10. Don’t just Spam your links to profiles, group forums, or communities as posts. Please try to be useful and build a name for yourself, it isn’t “all about the Backlink” Social networks are just that, social networks, use them to build a network of other bloggers, and form relationships out of these.
