what's the best way for me to create a backlink?

[donquixote]

Hi,

I have a personal website and I want to give a back link to my business site. I will create keywords with the proper anchor texts that lead to my site. Now my personal website has a dozen pages. should I place a link on each page with a different keyword for each anchor text? Will each count?

thanks

Article submissions, Directory submissions, Link Exchange, Comment on blogs with anchor text are some of the ways to create back links.

Perhaps I should re-phrase. How should I create a backlink from my personal web site. I have several keywords. Should I just use one keyword with proper anchor texts and send them towards my business site? Can I add them to each page of my personal site?

If you want to give back link to your business site, then provide back link at home page or two clicks away from home page

Ok, so I can only have one link on my personal site? I cannot have a link on every page?

You can have as many links from your personal site to your business site as you like and wherever you like. You will not incur any penalty that I know of by putting links to your business site on every page of your personal site.

How much good such links will do your business site, especially if the two sites are on the same host and have the same ip, is questionable, but it will not do any harm that I know of.

And anyway, as it is a personal site, then linking to your business topics is relevant and personal to you, so it makes sense to do so I would say.

I cant see how it could do any harm at all and you have the right idea to use relevant anchor text, mixing up the anchor text is also a good idea as it is more natural than 20 links all with exactly the same anchor text.

If you use google webmaster tools, then there is an option there to see what Google sees in external links to your site, so you can look later and see whether those links you place with different anchor text get registered by google.

Actually the links that Google reveals in WMT mean little.

Google does not reveal all the links it sees or the value of any links noted in their WMT, or anywhere else such as Yahoo Site Explorer.

Just like KFC never revealed its secret recipe Google is not going to reveal what links it counts, and what value, if any, those links hold.

I get a laugh out of people who swear by link analysis tools.....hard to score anything when no value was ever given.....

Google webmaster tools does not claim to tell people what value is being given to the external links, it only claims to show what its bots are seeing. It is useful as such for people who want that info.

Oh and by the way, the secret KFC recipe is in fact just plain old salt , pepper & msg batter, but it is cooked in a special pressurised deep frier which is why it is so hard to recreate. It is the method not the ingredients that give it the edge.

No different than making a good web site I would think.
