Two Dozen Ways to Get Backlinks

I answered a question today on Yahoo! Answers about ways to get backlinks to your website. Here are 24!

Comments on blogs. Many allow you to input your website URL.
Articles
Directories
Niche directories
Profile links
RSS
Web 2.0 properties like Squidoo, Blogger, and WordPress.com
Social bookmarking / networking sites like digg, twitter, Mr Wong
Facebook
PPC – technically, they are links back to your website that you pay for.
Forum signatures
Forum comments
Press releases
Answer sites like Yahoo Answers 🙂
One-way link services
Hiring somebody on Fiverr (or elsewhere) to link back to your website
Write an ebook, ask people to review your work
Guest blog
Get a guest blogger. He will do what it takes to get his post (on your site) read by others.
Craigslist
ebay
YouTube (put your link right in the description of your uploaded video)
Publish "software" and upload to download.com
Get or make a WordPress theme (PLR or free), put your link in the footer

That's two dozen. All are viable.

This is a great list! I love when things are made easy. And this is easy. This would be a great resource for a newbie to simply follow as a to-do list.
The best part of this is in addition to building backlinks, the work you do will drive traffic right away. If you follow this list and put thoughtful and useful content out there, people will click on your link to see what else you have to say.

@ Mike — Thanks for the comment and kind words! And I agree with you on the double-whammy of backlinks and direct traffic — why not kill 2 very important birds with one stone?
