Hi All,
Bit of a predicament regarding back links, HOW do you actually get them?
What I mean is my post/pages rank from page 2-6 and new to the whole niche thing how is anyone going to find my content to link to it?
There are obviously paid services but researching this subject makes me nervous as there are black hatters out there!
So how do you get good quality links?

Thanks Elite. A lot of people don't do it because they think it's hard to do or in case they think they might be doing something wrong or simply because they don't know how to! But virtually every big website that is ranking in the top 10 SERP results started off small and doing this at first, slowly building links to their site each day or every other day or something. And eventually it can pay off because doing it gets you better SERP rankings and that means more traffic, sales and revenue for your site. I agree it's not really really super easy, but nothing in life worth having is ever easy to come by and get nothing! :)

Getting good high quality links can be a long waiting game. If you're looking for people to naturally link to you, you need to keep building quality content and optimizing it very well in order to rank on page 1. Once you're on page 1 you'll begin to see a bigger spike in traffic, sales, subscribers, readers, etc.
Now if you want to get to page 1 quicker than what you could by just waiting, you'll need to go out and post on niche related websites and that will start to increase your own rankings. You can't just post one or two word comments like "Great Post!" because those will get burned and removed pretty quick. You'll need to post quality content to the niche relevant websites, blogs, forums that you find in order for it to stick. After you get around 10 to 20 posts on each of these websites, you can possibly unlock a feature that allows you to have a signature link on every post. This will help you a little because you'll have links on each of your posts. If you want to take a chance you can post a link in the content of your posts and hope they don't get deleted. This is risky because a lot of websites will ban new users posting links in the content of their posts. You'll need to build a reputation before you can start doing this, and that takes time.
A trick I've learned to get your links to stick is to answer any questions and link to authority websites like google, yahoo, bing, microsoft, adobe, or any authority site in your niche as long as it's not a competitor of the website you're posting on. This will show that you're truly trying to help others out and the posts won't get deleted, usually. After you do this a few times you can then start to sneak your own link in there to help others out :D

After you build your reputation with them, they'll se a link to a random website, your website, and they'll think "Well, he or she has posted plenty of good content and linked to credible websites, so this new website must be credible".
Yup, you have to build your reputation and get noticed by the staff and owners before you can start adding in your own links :D After you build your reputation with them, they'll se a link to a random website, your website, and they'll think "Well, he or she has posted plenty of good content and linked to credible websites, so this new website must be credible".
Or ya know, they could just hate any link that isn't in the top 100 most trafficked websites in the world and delete you post :(

Sounds like a great method you have there Cristian! That is SEO research 101 isn't it. Checking out your competitors or at least, those that will be your competitors, seeing what they've done and what they're doing including what backlinks they've been building and what their social presence is like. This reminds me of what I do when I'm writing an article for my site. I'll check out what the top 10 sites are ranking for the keyword I'm going to be targeting in that article, read what all their articles have to say on the matter and list out some of the main points of each. Then take it in and digest it all and then regurgitate something that is better than all of them combined. In fact, sometimes I'll even literally print out those pages and the articles so I can have them next to me while I'm writing. That way I can make sure I am covering all points from all angles and add my own version plus a little extra that wasn't included before. That seems to be a great winning strategy. Take a bit more work than just writing an article but if you want good rankings then it's an absolute must! :)

You are right, if your sites articles are only ranking on pages 2-6, not as many people are going to see them. And if nobody sees them, how can anyone see it's good content and link to them? And why would they when the site isn't even ranking on the 1st page of the SERPs? I know I wouldn't just randomly link to a blog post that was ranking on page 6 of the Google SERPs. Not unless it was useful somehow to my readers or unless they paid me for it!
But in order to actually get ranked higher in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page) you will need better high quality backlinks to your site. And not just any old high quality backlink, but actual relevant/related backlinks. From sites/blogs/forums etc in the SAME niche as yours is in. Fortunately, that's not impossible to do either. Not easy but not impossible and there's many ways to achieve that!
Here are 4 ways to get related/relevant backlinks to your site.
Okay there are other ways as well, such as buying them but you don't want to get caught doing that! But don't be too afraid to hire an SEO or freelancer to do it for you too. Just stay away from those blackhat services and do and go for white hat SEO only.
Hope this helps and good luck out there! You build them! Either yourself DIY style. Or by hiring an SEO or freelancer to build them for you.

Not easy but not impossible and there's many ways to achieve that! [b]Here are 4 ways to get related/relevant backlinks to your site.[/b] [list=1][*]The first is to reach out to other blogs in the same niche as yours and ask them if you can guest blog for them. They get free content that's related to their site/blog and you get a link to your site/blog in that content. A win win for everyone involved.[/*][*]The second option is to do blog commenting on blogs that are related to yours. Not just posting any old "great post thanks" comments. But actually posting thoughtful and valuable comments that add value to that blog post page which the blog owner will love to approve. Actually, blog commenting is an art you need to get right to see success with it. For that reason, check out my guide post on [url=https://www.seoclerk.com/faq/10145/How-to-Boost-Your-Sites-Traffic-and-Increase-Your-SERP-Rank-with-Blog-Commenting]How to Boost Your Sites Traffic and Increase Your SERP Rank with Blog Commenting[/url]. It contains do's and don'ts and tips and tricks.[/*][*]The 3rd option is to join forums in your niche. Register and signup. Make an introduction post. Comment and reply on other peoples threads/posts etc and get involved! Make yourself known slowly as a good user and create some threads that don't have links in them asking questions about the sort of things your blog is about and stuff like that. Build up a name for yourself so that people trust you. Then a little while later, put a link to your site in your signature using your targeted keywords or a Call To Action if it's allowed. That way you can continue on in the same fashion and people will see and possibly visit your site from it and of course it will index in the SERPs too![/*][*]The 4th option is to use Web 2.0 sites. Since there are many of these, but about 10-20 that are worth having. You can create actual sites on them and fill them with content that's relevant/related to your niche. I'd say about about 5-10 articles of a minimum 500+ words to each. Articles with 1000+ words rank better! It takes a while to do, but once you have say, 10 Web 2.0 sites filled with content that is related to your niche and you link to your site from them, that will be seen as relevant/related high authority Web 2.0 backlink and can be pretty powerful. Plus remember, these Web 2's rank highly on their own so you could gleam some extra traffic from them too![/*][/list] Okay there are other ways as well, such as buying them but you don't want to get caught doing that! But don't be too afraid to hire an SEO or freelancer to do it for you too. Just stay away from those blackhat services and do and go for white hat SEO only. Hope this helps and good luck out there!
