It’s vital to be actively getting external backlinks for a site when trying to promote a site in the search engines.
Backlinks can be acquired by submitting articles for publication, press releases, exchange links, forum signatures, and related blog comments. Of course if people like the content of your site, they will spontaneously link to it. A diversity of backlinks is important for two reasons. Firstly, any link growth looks more “natural”, which is important for Google. Secondly, if a search engine decides to make an algorithm change that places less weight on exchange links, say, then you will lose rankings if your sites relies too heavily on this method of getting links.
