I don't understand how to promote traffic on my hub. I've ready plenty of articles, but they all seem so vague. I'm a newbie to all of this. Thank you for any help.
You can't "create" one way backlinks. You get one way backlinks by having people put a link back to your site in or on their site. Say you write a hub about computers, and someone who has a computer blog reads it, and decides to link to it in an article on their blog. That's a one-way backlink.
Two way links are like link exchanges, where each of you links to the other, but not in an article, but just a link, like a blogroll or list of reference sites.
Social Networking links are also one way links, but they don't have as much clout as links from websites, and they don't rank at all if they come from the same ISP as your site.
Hope this makes sense.
Create your own blog on sites such as blogger and link to your own hub
Actually you can create 1-way back links! You just have to be a little subtle!
Forums: use your link in your sig and post on relevant forums e.g. if writing about travel post on lonelyplanet.com forum
Do-follow blogs: post on relevant blogs who run the "do follow" plugin which means that google will count the link. Don't sign yourself "lissie" sign "blue widgets" or whatever your hub is about
Article marketing: write an article and submit it to the major article directories e.g. ezinearticles.com - you get a resource box at the bottom and can link to your site/hub there.
I am currently using a variation of this where my articles are posted on other people's blogs I mention it on my profile. I don't recommend this for beginners as its a paid service
Thank you again, Dafla! All of the stuff on promoting a hub page is so confusing to me. My traffic is so low on hub pages, and most of the traffic is from hub pages. I have not even made a penny with adsense. I'm not with hub pages soley to make money. I enjoy writing. However, the extra money would help.

Agreed with Lissie, you should do what she says, those are all good ways of creating your own 1 way backlinks!

Google is cracking down on blogs that link back to their other blogs. That's why my Frugal Wench blog is only PR 1, because I used it to post blurbs with links to my other sites. They want quality backlinks, and you are actually penalized for backlinks from the same IP.

Hi Guys!I was wondering what tactics some of you use to gain natural backlinks to your hubs. I've read about using Yahoo Answers and am trying to find article directories that offer more than just spammy or unnatural links. I know writers like to keep things close to the vest if they work well, but...

I am working on one of my new websites - and I want to link back to my hubs here. How many times is this OK to do on a website page before it is overkill?

If an outside souce puts up a backlink with a "nice message" to one of your hubs in the comments section, is it good to approve the comment, or do you deny it straight away, or do you see if you can put up a backlink on their website. Some feedback would b appreciated, Thank you!

I know it fluctuates depending on a billion variables...but for you hubbers here who are making decent money, how many backlinks do you create for each hub. Please specify between social bookmarkting, article marketing on directories like ezine, blogging and commenting on blogs.Thanks!

Last week I found out about this site called SocialMonkee. If you are looking for more backlinks for your HubPages this is a good place to get them. You can get 25 of them a day so you can use a different hub each day.This is the first time I have posted in any of the forums here, but I thought...
