What are Backlinks
Anyone that has ever tried to rank a site on Google or for that matter any of the major search engines has had to become familiar with backlinks.
These are nothing more than incoming links to your website and can be called anything from inbound or inward links to backlinks or incoming links. It’s basically when another site owner or webmaster places a link on his site that directs his readers to your site.
Backlinks are seen by the major search engines as a vote for your site and for this reason they are greatly sought after and are very important to your presentence on the web.
The main reason that backlinks have become extremely popular over the years is due to the way the major search engines treat them. They are like gas for your car and content is like the size of the engine. While having a large powerful engine is very important if you ain’t got no gas you want get very far.
It is imposable to rank for a competitive keyword without backlinks however, very possible to rank for a competitive keyword with nothing more than backlinks. Think of it like this, every time you use a keyword on your site it’s a vote for that keyword. When Google lands on your site they see the keyword “backlinks” and assumes the content is about backlinks.
You’re only able to use the keyword so many times in your content before it starts looking crazy. Let’s say you manage to use the keyword a total of 25 times. Your competition then uses the keyword in the content on his site 26 times and ranks higher then you in the search engines.
There is a point where your site will get penalized for using the keyword to many times in the text.
Then I come along and use the keyword a couple times in my text but then get other sites to link to me using the keyword in the anchor text from all the sites that are linking to me. Google then counts and says that you guys used it 25 and 26 times however I used it 110 because I have over a hundred sites linking to me. So…I outrank you all. As time goes on others figure out what I’m doing and begin doing the same thing before long your site is no longer showing up in the search engines for any of the good keywords.
Backlinks do more than just get your site showing up for the keywords in the major search engines; they also drive traffic to your site. And when you start getting backlinks the idea is not to just get backlinks but to get backlinks that drive traffic.

How many backlinks a day does a good SEO blogger/spammer add a day…this is not easy work for sure.?
I tried this for a while searching for sites, forums, blogs that I could post backlinks, and it’s harder then it seems. Why don’t you get more credit for what you do? It seems like you would have to have a high tolerance of patience. Trying to find places that match your keywords and trying to post a link there. Is there a repository or list of sites that you know are open to add links? Half the time you register for a site and realize there are NOFOLLOW or HTML has been turned off or they require 10 or more posts before allowing a link. This job is not for the faint of heart. When you first started what were you averaging a day or hour?
Yes it is hard work and requires patience. It is also only worth looking for high quality links and the best way to obtain those is on the phone to the site owner. A rate of one of these per day would be a good rate of acquisition.

As above – 1 good quality link a day would be good.
Getting good quality links is hard – that is why they are so valuable and why a GOOD SEO expert is worth their weight in gold!
You are going in the right direction – ask good sites directly as well – BUT get your web site in good condition first. People won’t link to poor quality sites.
Link farms are worthless for what you are doing.

Hard work doesn’t get you credit. Doing the right thing gets you credit.
When you say "SEO blogger/spammer" it makes me think of blogs which are essentially junk pages to attract people to the accompanying ads. The SEO part is manipulating search engines to put these junk pages above more useful pages. That makes search results worse for everybody. That’s not the right thing to do! So, not a good place to put your effort.

If you’re going for good, quality links, then one or two a day is sufficient to make good progress.
If you’re going spammy (SOOO not recommended), look up some automation software that will do it for you. You can get thousands of "backlinks" a day – and what’s even better, if you’re persistent enough at it you can get your site completely banned from the major search engines. Pardon the sarcasm.
One or two good ones is sufficient. But you didn’t ask *how* so I guess you’re doing fine. Create a great weekend!
