Backlinks are the most important part of off page SEO . Depending on the number of backlinks and the Pagerank of the sites where they originate from , your new website or blog can make it way faster to the top of all Google search results for relevant search queries. The most legal and popular method of getting backlinks to your site is by Blog commenting or guest posting , as these two methods are deemed perfectly safe by Google .
Blog commenting when done in moderation is legal in terms of Google, but if you are on a rapid spree of blog commenting to improve your pagerank , Be warned! Google will see this as an activity of spamming and may get your site banned in Google search .
There are many free tools on the internet that can help to find out all the backlinks to your site . But If you have a website that has been started recently , Most of these free backlink checking tools will be of no use .

Would there be any reason why the trackbacks would show as zero when a site DOES have plenty of backlinks? Then “Trackback” in google Analytics doesn’t seem to want to show this for me.
For me, Google analytics only shows backlinks which are bringing in traffic to my site, otherwise backinks with no traffic doesn’t show up in Google analytics.
Hy, Thanks for sharing the informative post.. Though i am using Analytics from years i did not try that trackback option till now. and for sure from now onwards i will regularly check all backlinks from there.
Hola, ¿alguien conoce algun lugar donde poder comprar backlink de calidad?
Last but not the least he is a true gamer by heart.
I know this post talks about Google Analytics but I would suggest using Majestic to check backlinks. Just suggesting though.
Thanks for the help 🙂
