Search engine optimization is a very complex thing to internet marketers. It is the human anatomy of online business wherein all SEO components should work hand in hand just like the human body does. As an internet marketer myself, my initial goal is for my websites to land on the top 1000 search engine rankings and then work to improve from there.

In order to do that, I have learned from internet gurus that quality back links can improve search engine rankings. Let us define what back links are. They are incoming links to a website or web page. In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, the number of back links is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page. There are two kinds namely a) one way - free back links, no link back required and b) reciprocal - links pointing to your site while you link back. Where can you get them?

1. Link Farms - This is the most common way to get links to your website but search engine nowadays are frowning on it. A link farm is a Web page that is nothing more than a page of links to other sites.
2. Link Exchanges - A lot better than the first one because reciprocal links are established between two relevant websites. This is one way to get free permanent back links to your site. There are also paid options.
3. Natural - This is the best way, the only drawback is it takes time before you can see results.

How Does It Work?
To land on the top 1000 search engine rankings, one has to write an original article. The content should be relevant to the topic being discussed. It should be brief and concise, easy to understand and comprehend, and should contain the proper keywords. The article should be proofread for punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors. The last thing you would want to happen is disappoint your readers with simple mistakes on your article.

Next step is to submit your article to article submission sites with a high PR (page rank). And don't forget article directories and social book marking sites. These sites offer free back links no link back required. For better results you can choose to submit only to sites with a PR 3 or higher. After submission, all you have to do is wait for at least one week.

You will surely notice the difference. Your submitted article will be made available for redistribution to other sites and when publishers pick it up, your back links will surely increase and it will continue to rise as your website matures and ages. The beauty of this is what you get are all free permanent back links to your site. More back links means more visitors and finally more money for you.
