Building backlinks can be an arduous process. The most common free methods are directory submissions, article submissions, comment posting and social bookmarking.

However, articles take time to write, and writers block can be hard to shake off. Directory submissions are hard to get approved for new Page Rank Zero sites. Comment posting can be a good option. And Social Bookmarking doesnt always increase traffic unless many users bookmark it.

Fortunately, there are some easier ways to get links, and I shall be listing them in a short series of articles.

For this first article, I shall describe using public information about your site to gain backlinks.

Domain information tools such as whois.net, Alexa and domaintools.com maintain information about virtually every domain. As a result, every domain will have a backlink from these sites. However, the search engines wont know about all these pages unless theyre informed of them. Therefore, webmasters whove registered new domains can gain some free backlinks by merely pointing links at these pages. These links can be hosted on blogs, forums or any other sites that is already indexed.

As an example, I have recently registered the domain dawjee.com, and would like to add some backlinks to it. In order to get them from whois.net, Alexa and domaintools.com, I need to place the following links on indexed pages (e.g. my blog):

http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=dawjee&tld=com

http://whois.domaintools.com/dawjee.com

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=dawjee.com

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr…ils/dawjee.com

In order to get the search engines to index pages for other domains, simply replace dawjee.com in the links above.
