I know I said I was going to talk about adsense next, but before I go into that I want to share some reliable ways of getting relevant backlinks.
Backlinks are the most important thing. They get your website indexed and they help it move up on the SERPS (search engine result page). Just getting backlinks from other sites/blogs isn't good enough. They have to be the right kind of links, and I'll explain to you what separates the right kind from the wrong kind.
Here is an ideal backlink - a link to your site from another relevant site with a high PR using a keyword anchor. For example, if I needed a backlink for my ANTM site, I would want one coming from another site that had to do with ANTM (or reality TV or fashion or something relevant) and I would want the anchor keyword to be America's Next Top Model. If the link to your page just says "click here" or has the full url, it's not as valuable a backlink. And if it comes from a page that isn't relevant, say a page about fishing, Google will know and it won't move up in the serps as quickly. PR isn't as important as the link coming from a relevant blog, but will still help it move up in the serps quicker.
So how do you get backlinks?
There are a few ways which have proven to be very valuable. First of all, you can always ask for a backlink. If there's a site that you want a backlink from, email them and ask. You could always offer to pay, sometimes they'll say yes and other times they'll say no.
There are a lot of programs that are sort of newtworks for backlinks. The one I've been using, which is a new network and extremely cheap compared to the other ones out there is called ConnectContent. It is a network based on a point system. You get one positive point every time you link to someone else in the network (more if you have a high PR) and you a negative point everytime someone links to you. You're always supposed to be in the positive. You can search for unused anchor links (links that other people need) by searching through a database which is organized by category, by least used, etc. And then you report when you have used someone elses link. In my opinion, its a really great system. The person who owns it, RT, is very helpful and responsive if you have questions. It's easy to use and it really does work. I highly recommend ConnectContent.
Also by mosting articles that contain your backlink to article directories, you can get backlinks this way. You can buy
