Natural SEO Backlinks
May 1st, 2009 | 
Author: If you have decided on a blog or website and have your site up, even if it is just one page you need to get your site indexed. Indexing refers to getting the search engines to notice your site and list it.
You also need to start establishing some backlinks to your site. You can use one exercise to accomplish both of these objectives. Backlinks are the main form of off -page natural SEO. The sooner your site has a backlink the better. You will also want to show a steady growth of backlinks.
It may help if you know what a backlink is in order to accomplish this. A backlink is a link that points to your site from another website. This link pointing to your site is referred to in SEO as a backlink. There are a few basics you should know about these links. Some of them are based on.
- One Way Backlink
- Text Backlink
- Backlink from High PR Site
A one way backlink is a link that points to your site or blog and you do not have a link pointing to the site your link is placed on. This is ideal. There are also reciprocal links. The name reciprocal is very descriptive, that is when you have a link on your site pointing to a site and they have a link pointing to yours. This is OK but not the target of Natural SEO.
A text backlink is the links you see usually blue and underlined on websites. Blogs usually have an underlined link and possibly an emblem next to them. Text backlinks are the target of good natural SEO. You would want to use your keyword such as Natural SEO this is much more powerful than http://www.naturalseo101.com
High PR sites are the ideal place to have a backlink. PR stands for Page Rank. This is a measure that google assigns the significance of a site. (This is based largely on the amount of backlinks, age of site and authority. I will have a post dedicated to PR in the future) You can use a google toolbar to find the PR of a website.
I strongly suggest that if do not have a Firefox Browser installed on your PC or Mac to download it now.
You can find this at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html then download a google toolbar at: http://tools.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/install.html
Make sure and enable page rank when you download the toolbar.
You will need these often in future natural SEO lessons.

Good post. I use a Firefox add-on called Search Status. It displays the PageRank and the Alexa ranking on any site you visit down in your taskbar, so it isn’t quite as bulky as a toolbar.
