What are the points that a SEO specialist uses while making an effort to gain backlings from other sites?
This will be a common question on most of the web centric SEOs, during the process of website submissions to gain backlinks.
While doing this you need to first consider the "Quality" and "Relevancy" of those websites that are requesting for the links and if you only link to sites that you think would be valuable and useful to the real human visitors then we can remove all of those worries in you.
There is no limit to the number of directories to which you can submit your site. For this reason, there are diversified links stretching from Directories to forums to Social Media sites. Seochat Forums had a similar discussion on how backlinks work that will be useful for newbies.
Check their "Quality" and "Relevancy" before you submit to any of the sites or reciprocate links with any of them by following below points:
Quality:
1. Their home page’s Page Rank should be higher than our site,
2. PR of their inner pages and the page where our site link will reside should be higher than ours,
3. Age of the domain preferred to be an old one and
4. They should be listed on Google
Relevancy:
1. The sites where we are going to submit should be relevant to your site,
2. They should have similar services that we provide and
3. .org or .edu websites will give you a good weightage if you gain a link back.
Finally, submitting using Add URL or Add Links Forms or post an email requesting for an inclusion or to reciprocate link or link exchange request to the webmaster or SEO specialist representing the websites which offer backlinks.
