SEO notes

Possible Backlinks

Forums – these are especially useful if they allow self-serving links in
signatures and do not put the nofollow tag on them.

Blogs – you can post comments on various posts on a blog and include
your link in the appropriate field. Do not place links directly in your
comment. This is considered rude, and your comment will probably be
deleted.

Sites that Have User Profiles – these sites will often let you put the URL to
your site in your profile. This will sometimes offer a backlink, but these
links are sometimes nofollow.

Feeder Sites

A feeder site is a site that allows you to create a free webpage
or website on their servers. Examples of feeder sites include Squidoo.com and
HubPages.com.

Article directories are great, because they often have great authority with the
search engines, and you only have to write one short article in order to get a
backlink.

Squidoo: Squidoo also offers additional modules that you can integrate into your lens pages, including the option to incorporate an opt-in form into your page, so that you can begin to develop an email list of prospects. Squidoo makes it extremely easy to create pages there. They have a step-by-step wizard that shows you how to make a page. Remember to use anchor text to link to your site. Anchor text is the text that is used to link to a site. For example:
<a href=”http://www.link.com”>Your Anchor Text</a>
Tags are a vital part of creating a lens. (They are also critical when building hubs on HubPages.) Tags are used to define what your page is about, and each tag will create a new page on Squidoo that contains links to all of the hubs that use that particular tag.

HubPages: HubPages.com is extremely similar to Squidoo in many ways. They have a wizard that helps you easily create hubs, they use tags, and they allow marketing. In order to increase your Hubpage author score, you will need to create 5 or more hubs. You need to increase your author score before you are able to generate backlinks to your websites, so make sure that you develop a higher author score (by creating hubs) and that you retain a score higher than 75.

Info Barrel: Info Barrel is another feeder site that works similarly to Squidoo and HubPages. You can build pages on their server, and link to your own pages.

Community Forums

If your main purpose is to get backlinks, you need to check the links on each forum to make sure the links do not have the “rel=nofollow” tag on them. In your signature, you should link to your site, making sure to follow the rules regarding signatures. Don’t call attention to your signature in any way, because
this is a good way to get banned. Forum marketing is a bit time consuming. It’s easier if all you’re looking for is backlinks, but if you want to make the most of it, you should still try to get people to visit your site.

High Profile Blogs

When it comes to generating back-links with blogs, you need to:
1) Find blogs that provide a ‘do follow’ (the only kind of blogs where a link back to
your site will count as a “vote”.)
2) You explore and read the blog and then you make an insightful, useful or
relevant comment to the post that is likely to be approved by the blog’s
administrator.
3) Include your back-link with relevant anchor text on the blog.
4) Rinse & Repeat
