If  you’ve followed the advice and got some articles to the top of Google – you might now be starting to get links to your article from forums and blogs?

Of course you know when you are at the top of the SERPS for particular keywords, particularly how to tutorials, you start picking up organic links from forums and blogs who see these articles as trusted articles because, well, they are at the top of Google.

When helping each other out, forum members often use Google to find an authority article, and link to it to help newbies. Often they will usually just copy and paste the URL like so:

http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/*****

Not ideal. Sometimes it’s worth it go one step further and provide them with the BBcode and HTML versions of a nice anchor text rich link to start getting those keyword rich links to your site. Every now and again, change the anchor text to mix your backlink profile a little.
