I’ve recently started a niche blog about healthy weight loss and I’ve been trying to figure out ways to get backlinks to it.  So I do what I usually do when I’m at a loss online.  I search other blogs for the answer.

Court’s got a really informative post on how to get backlinks.  Among the 102 ways he suggests, I’ve decided to go with using articles.  The way it works is you submit an article to an article directory like ArticleDashboard.com or GoArticles.com and they distribute for free to higher volume of readers.  In the article or in the about the author section, you can add a hyperlink to your own website.  Can you imagine 5,000 people reading your article with a single click?  Now you can.

Hopefully, you’ve worked as hard on your blog as you have on the article, which will encourage the readers who visit it from your article to become regular guests.  If that doesn’t work, at least you’ll still have driven a lot of traffic to your blog.  And hey, more traffic never hurt anyone.
