Blog for your business…and improve your website ranking in Google

How to get Quality backlinks from free blogs

You need to build quality back-links pointing to your new site. These can be accomplished quickly and will cost you absolutely nothing. Depending on how well and how quickly you can write some new articles, this should only take you a couple of hours, from start to finish. I have set up blogs on all of these but confess to only concentrating on my WordPress blog at the moment! It is relatively easy to do but if you don’t have the time get a professional web design company like ours  to do this for you.

Creating a free blog

These are the 3 most popular free blogging systems:

  • Blogger.com (Google owns it!)
  • WordPress.com
  • LiveJournal.com

 On each one of those, you will create a new account/blog.

  1. Name the blog something related to your site, one of your main keyword phrases. I mentioned website design and computer tips in ours since that relates to our business.
  2. On each of these blogs, write one nice long article or “post” about your main topic related to your new or target site. Do NOT write about the target site itself, nor any product you may be selling. Write these posts about the details of (your new site main keywords or topic), details about how to do things, the history of the craft, where to find good (your topic here), how to use (your topic), etc. Write about some related to your new target site, but avoid repeating stuff that’s already on that site. Do NOT duplicate something from any other site on the web, especially your own site. Make it completely, 100% original content. Organize the structure of the post nicely with a headline, sub-headings and topical paragraphs that reflect the keyword phrases (3 or 4 of them) that are similar to those of your main site. Ideally make these posts at least 500 words. Longer is better. Remember NOT to duplicated phrases, sentences, headlines or anything between any of these new blogs and your main target site.
  3. Near the top of your new article-post on each of these blogs, insert a link around the number-1 most important keyword phrase that your main site is about. You will see I used professional web design company in this article, for example.
  4. Make this link point directly at the front page of your site, and do NOT “nofollow” this link. Be sure this link is in the first paragraph at the top of the page or post. Put it INSIDE the paragraph, not above or below it. Make sure that this link is surrounded by related “good content”. Do not put any other links on this post that point to any other site. Only one link, and it points to your target main site. Near the top of the post. In a well constructed paragraph. Check this post/article over carefully to ensure that it is spelled properly and uses excellent grammar. That’s important to Google.
  5. Save that post and “publish” it so that it is available to the world. If you’ve done this well on the 3 free blog sites above, these 3 posts will earn you some nice rating value from Google. You don’t need to publicize these blogs. They do that automatically, all by themselves. Blog technology magically notifies the world about each post you make in seconds.

Once you set up your blog, open a Twitter account ( new blog will follow on that subject) then tweet about your blog posts inviting people to click on your link and read your blog. They may leave a comment and possibly click on your links within your blog article to view your website which is a further bonus. Regardless, Google view incoming (backlinks) from the likes of WordPress blogs and Twitter as very important and in turn will help your website search engine ranking.  Check out your website statistics for the proof!

  1. Thank you for another interesting article.

    Thanks Anne. I was pointed to this via Twitter, which I’ve found incredibly useful. I’ve been meaning for ages to move my website to a new hoster that would allow me to blog properly. My current says that it allows blogs, but that’s a bit misleading since readers can’t add comments. That makes it a bit pointless.

    Anyway, there have alway more urgent things to be done, so I’ve never got round to moving my site. Your post has made me think it’s probably worth just leaving that on the back-burner and having a separate blog.

    Good win for the Saintees last night, but just how gash are the Dons this season?
