How to get backlinks to your blog
Introduction
When you start a blog, you need to think about how to get backlinks. This is where we talk about ways that will help your site gain some traction in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
Do a Google search on your blog topic.
Google search is a great place to start. It's easy, fast and free (so long as you don't mind typing in the keywords). You can use Google Search to find people who are already talking about your subject or even blog posts that have already been written on the subject of your article.
If you're writing about SEO, for example, try searching for phrases like "SEO tips for bloggers" or "how do I get more traffic?" In this case I would type in:
"SEO tips for bloggers" OR
"how do I get more traffic?"
Write a guest post for an established blog.

This is a good way to get backlinks, but there are two things you need to remember:
You need to write your own article, not just copy-and-paste content from someone else's site or blog (this is called "content hacking"). This is because Google will penalize you if they think you're doing this kind of thing.
Make sure that all the links in your article come from other websites relevant to what it is you're writing about! For example, if I'm writing about running marathons (which are tough!), then I should probably include links related directly towards running marathons--not just any old random website like travelguidecompanyaboutrunningmarathonsinnewyorkcityorwhateveritmightbe
Get in touch with other blogs who are also writing on your similar topics and ask them to include you in their posts.
If you have a similar topic to cover, consider reaching out to other bloggers who are also writing on your similar topics. This can be done through a tool like Buzzsumo or by simply googling for related blogs and finding their contact information.
You should also make sure that you have something interesting to share with them before contacting them. You might want to read over some of their previous posts and see if there is anything that would be relevant for your own blog (if not, then don't waste your time).
Once you've found an appropriate contact form on their site and filled it in with all of the required details, wait patiently for a response from the person who handles the submissions at that particular site (don't worry--it might take some time). If no one ever gets back with you about including links from yours into theirs (or vice versa), keep trying!
Search for and join relevant Facebook groups and listservs that cover related topics to your blog.
Search for and join relevant Facebook groups and listservs that cover related topics to your blog.
Facebook groups are a great way to get your blog in front of new people. They're easy to join, they're easy to use (you can post directly from the group page), and they often have more than one million members. If you aren't already on Facebook but want to start building an audience there, check out this guide on how to find and join relevant groups!
Lastly: don't spam the group with posts about yourself or your own content--it's rude!
Leverage content syndication services like Outbrain or Reddit's r/OutrageousLinks to share links from other sites around the web.
Content syndication services are a great way to get backlinks, traffic and exposure. There are many content syndication services available out there, but I will talk about one that is particularly good: Outbrain.
Outbrain enables you to create custom content packs that subscribers can access anytime they want on their mobile devices or desktop computers--and then share with their friends via email or social media channels like Facebook and Twitter!
This is great because it allows you to promote your own blog posts around the web without having to worry about getting links from other blogs (or even directories).
Sell ad space on your own site, but make sure you're clear about what it is, where it will be placed and how much money you expect to make from it beforehand! You can also link back to a third-party provider where possible as well such as Google AdSense (more details here ). If you've paid for premium advertising options on your own site, make sure you're linking back directly to them (find out more here ).
The first step is to buy an ad space on your own site. You can do this by going to Google AdSense (more details here ) and buying a $0.10 advertisement for a few months, or you can use another provider such as Amazon Associates if they have what you need.
Once you've got your first link, keep doing it until someone links back to your blog with a comment or share a post on social media! It's important not to stop once they do so because they could just as easily go somewhere else instead of linking back again - so keep going until then!
Conclusion
There are many ways to get backlinks. The most obvious is by writing articles on popular blogs and sharing them with your own readers, but you can also join Facebook groups or other communities where people share links about similar topics as well as join established blogs in order to spread the word about your content.
