15 ways to build quality backlinks:-

15 ways to build quality backlinks:-
 
1. Submit your articles to directories with high page rank
You can easily create some backlinks by submitting your articles to highly ranked directories which will help you build some high quality backlinks to your website.
   
 
2. Create ehow articles Are you tired of submitting your articles to websites like Ezinearticles where you have to wait for almost a week before your article  is published? If yes, then why not use a website  which can provide you with more valuable backlink? Yup, it's true. Ezinearticles is a PR6 website, whereas eHow has a PR8 rank. Now it should be clear to you why I prefer eHow over other plateforms like Ezinearticles, Hubages, Squidoo etc. The only downside of using eHow is that they are very strict and choosy about accepting writers. You may not even get a chance to write for them because of their strict policy.

3. Use social media like Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon  and othersWe all know how important social media has become lately.  Be proactive, make friends and share your content over places like Facebook, Twitter and others to get backlinks and gain some readers in the process. If you can't handle all the sharing and participating by yourself, then yusea free service like IFTTT to get the job done for you.
4.  Leave your website link in the profile pageA lot of websites allows it's members to leave a link to their websites in the member's profile page. All you need to find some websites with high PR like AdobeMozzila etc and leave your website's link in your profile page to build quality backlinks.

5. Use video sharing sites like YouTubeYouTube is the world's second most used searched engine in the world. You can get a backlink for each video you upload over there. The sad fact is that they will allow you to have nofollow backlinks only, but getting a backlink from a PR9 website, be it a dofollow or nofollow backlink, can't be a bad thing, right? 
6. Participate in forumsSome of the forums like Warrior’s forums, Blackhatworld, Digitalpoint are really famous among bloggers because of their dofollow backlinks. There are hundreds of other forums with high page rank on the web. All you need to do is to create an account on any of the forums and start posing there to create high quality backlinks.
 
7. Comment on blogsThis is one of the easiest ways to get some quality dofollow and nofollow backlinks to your website. You just need to find some blogs falling in your niche and start leaving relevant comments there. Remember to leave your signature and website’s url to get the desired backlink.

8. Help others in Questions and Answers and post resources linkThis is one of the popular ways to create backlinks, but remember that you will mostly get nofollow backlinks from most of the Q&A websites. This is one of the easiest ways to get some backlinks and traffic to your website. A website like yahoo answers should be your best bet if you want to start using this method.
 
9. Submit your article to social bookmarking websites Social bookmarking websites are one of the most emergent ways to make your article go viral, but you need to make sure that your article is of top notch quality and of use to visitors, otherwise nobody is going to bother with it. If you are an author with great skill, you will be amazed to see, how well social bookmarking works.

10. Guest bloggingIf you have a fairly new blog or website with not a lot of traffic, then guest blogging can help you gain traffic and build quality backlinks to you website. Being a new blogger myself, I have been doing alot of guest blogging for blogs like Shoutmeloud, Problogger and Techgyd and the result is mind blogging. I have seen a surge in traffic since I started guest blogging. However, you must ensure that you are giving your absolute best while guest blogging, because the readers of your guest post will decide whether or not to visit your blog based on the quality of your guest posting.
   
11. Create a wikipedia article How many times we see Wikipedia pop up in front of us whenever we type in a particular term in Google? Literally every time. Why? Because, WiKipedia is Google's darling. It is one of the most reputed website in the world. Just imagine, how awesome it would be to be able to get a backlink from WiKipedia. But to get a backlink, you need to write a content rich and informative article over there. Only then you will get a precious backlink from them.

For years webmasters have been following one of SEO’s golden rules: get lots of quality backlinks in order to help your site get top rankings on Google. And over the past couple years this is become a lot more tricky as Google began penalizing sites with poor quality backlinks.
As a result, many webmasters have shifted a lot of their work from link building to creating quality content that visitors want to share, and now Google has updated their Ranking help article to reflect exactly this.
First spotted by Erik Baemlisberger, the article now states:
In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by creating high-quality sites that users will want to use and share.
Previously, the article stated:
In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages.
For those who despise link building, and the negative SEO aspect of competitors pointing bad links to websites, the fact that Google is putting greater emphasis on sites that users want to use and share will be good news to many webmasters.
It also isn't surprising that Google wants to put that emphasis on the sharing aspect as well, particularly with Google+ and how it interacts with searchers who are logged into their Google account. I believe aspects of this will be given greater weight in the search algorithm, at least until the spammers figure out how to exploit it on a large scale.
Google's Matt Cutts not long ago signalled this shift, when he mentioned that putting too great of an emphasis on link building is one of the top 5 basic SEO mistakes.
"I wouldn't put too much of a tunnel vision focus on just links," Cutts said. "I would try to think instead about what I can do to market my website to make it more well known within my community, or more broadly, without only thinking about search engines."

6 Months Later, No Google Toolbar PageRank Update...

It has now been over six months since the last widespread Google PageRank update. The last update was in early February, where users spotted changes to the Google Toolbar PageRank data.
Since then, I have not seen a major Toolbar PageRank update from Google. Which honestly, is not the norm.
Every 3-4 months or so, Google typically updates their toolbar PageRank data. Here are some of the most recent updates:
You see the pattern here, with the exception of the rate back to back PageRank update between May and August of 2012.
Now, I am all for Toolbar PageRank going away. Maybe it has?
I will email Google to see if I can get something on the record about this.
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
Update: Google told me they have nothing to comment on this at the moment.
