Backlinks - Types Of Backlinks

I consider there to be two main types of backlinks.

1. A standard backlink using your url. Example http://www.bettermychange.org

And

2. An anchor text backlink. Example Search Engine Blog

The second is a much better way to improve your SERP’s (Search engine results pages) as the site that is linking back to you is telling search engines what type of site it is, it need to be written in html code and looks like this:

<a href=”http://www.bettermychance.org”>Search Engine Blog</a>

Its not always easy to get sites to link to you using anchor text, but a good place to start experimenting is forums that allows footer links, such as Digital Point. There we go, that was another backlink using anchor text. cool huh!

Backlinks - An Introduction - What Is A Backlink

A backlink in its most simplist form is a link from one site to another site (Your site)

Google considers a backlink as a vote for your site, so the more backlinks or votes you get to your site the more popular your site will become.

The above is a very basic description, you may also want to read, Types of backlinks and Too many backlinks.
