This is where the writing platforms come in. They may take more work than if you were to just do a link exchange or just leave comments, but nevertheless, the work spent into these is well worth it.

Some of these sites are Hubpages, Squidoo, Infobarrel, Helium, RedGage, Xomba, and Associated Content. Make sure to read the regulations of each site as each one has a different set of rules which you must abide by in order to write for them.

Sites like Hubpages and Associated Content are very strict on original content which you cannot have posted anywhere else online, but Xomba and RedGage allow you to add articles which you can have in many different places online.

Building back links to your articles is not hard, as you can link to them from your other articles. So for each article you write, you could add a link to your website, as well as another link or two to other articles which you have written. These articles could be located on the same writing platform, or on another platform.

To be on the safe side, always be sure to check the rules to see how many links you are allowed and do not add any more, or else they may be removed. Some websites like Hubpages do not allow you to add more than 2 links to any specific website.

With writing platforms you not only build back links, but you can also use them to market your products, or if you do not have your own products you can use them for affiliate marketing, or making money with Google adsense, Kontera, Amazon or eBay.

So as you can see, writing to get back links does take more time, but you can accomplish several different tasks just by writing 1 article.
