High PR backlinks are essential if you want your site to rank well in the search engines. If you want your site’s rank to improve, such inbound links are what you need, at least for the time being. Much of the information you can find online about backlinks is unreliable. If you read something on the subject, then, and you aren’t sure about it, make sure you verify it. You should check everything, including what we say.

We’re confident in the facts and methods we’re writing about, but you don’t have to take our word for it. Let’s look at some effective ways to find high PR quality backlinks.

Outranking other sites, especially if they don’t have the best quality links, is not hard if you make it a point to get your links from high PR sites in your own niche and use anchor text with well researched keywords. If you make the effort to get relevant, high quality links, you don’t have to waste your time pursuing hundreds of links that aren’t relevant. You can make the decision. One approach that just oozes with quality is to become a frequent guest blogger for high PR blogs and static sites. If you’re in a niche that’s at all popular, you won’t have any trouble finding relevant blogs by doing a search with Google. Write to the owner of the site and offer to write guest blogs for them.

If you asked the experts just a few years ago what the most effective backlinking technique was, many would have told you, “link wheels.” For a brief time, this was wonderful -then Google discovered what people were doing. Now, link wheels are not as powerful as they once were. Plus, one thing Google always does is study the “foot print” of things like patterns (linking) and software. It’s no longer a good idea to used a “closed link wheel,” as the search engines are now cracking down on this practice. Therefore, the recommended approach now is to duplicate the basic link wheel without closing it. In other words, you want your link wheels to be open, though if you think about what a wheel is (literally), you don’t exactly have one anymore. The approach and strategy are very similar except you do not want to close the wheel. This is a way to cover your footprints when doing link wheels so the search engines don’t see any patterns.

There are various blog networks that accept members for a price, and this can be a way to get some high PR backlinks. You can find these blog networks consisting of up to hundreds of blogs on a variety of niches. The one drawback is you will most likely have links on sites with unrelated themes which will render them less powerful for you. The network will distribute your spun articles, giving everyone backlinks. After the blog network publishes your content, it’s a good idea to get more links to this page. It’s always best to get as many links as you can and not depend on just one. The links you get will be more effective if you accentuate them by social bookmarking. There are lots of software programs you can find today that help you with backlinking, or claim to. The whole purpose of using software is to automate and save time. This is a strategy you should approach very cautiously, though. Don’t purchase something like this just because the advertising is effective, and you can’t even believe every testimonial you read. This is a perilous area, as the wrong software can actually do harm to your site, so don’t just believe the sales page. Look for independent reviews and search on related forums.
