I’m fairly new to SEO however I have read and studied on this A LOT so I don’t need basics.. I have done article submission, blogs, etc. I realize my site is new but I also know good SEO can get the newest sites on top of search engine lists. Right now my main issue is getting quality backlinks and I just can’t seem to figure out how to do it properly. I don’t want junk links to link exchanges are NOT what I want.. I have asked personally to some of the top ranking webmasters in my niche and none of them will link. Please help me?? My niche is art, more specific is hand drawn portraits and my site is http://www.portraitsbysamantha.com . Thanks so much!
don’t mean to be rude, but for a site that is only 30 days old and according to google, they have 12 indexed pages..bing is showing you with 26 back links..what do you expect?
EDIT:
Firefox has lots of webmaster plugin tools that are great. I also ran your keywords from your index page with market samurai and you really should revisit those keywords.
If you want to try market samurai, you can get a two week free trial by going to this link in the upper right corner of this page.http://danet-aps.com/site%20design.html
watch their videos and apply what they teach…it really works…but more importantly it makes sense
Back links use the same principle as inbound links, when other websites are pointing at your website telling search engines the importance of your website making it more visible.
