  1.  Guest Blogging

Guest blogging is a great way of getting your content and link in front of new wider audience. This method require some work, knowledge and a writing skills before you can be accepted by higher authority in your industry. Every blog accepting guest post allow you to include one or two links within your content or author bio section, which looks natural in the eye of the search engine spiders.
Paying for links has several negative impacts that can effect the ranking of a site either immediately, or down the road.

Here are some guide:

• Write a very high quality content that every blog in your niche will love to publish it on their blog
• Check other blog post on the blog for guidelines on how to format your post and how many links are to be included within the post and the author bio section.
• Make sure the keyword phrase and page you link to within your content and author bio section is appealing to the blog audience's to increase the number of possible click.

  2.  Blog commenting

Commenting on blogs along with your blog url will create a backlink to your URL, but make sure the blog is dofollow and be sure that the post have an appreciable pagerank.

When you try to comment on as many people’s blogs as possible or commenting on blog unrelated to your blogging niche all in the sake of getting backlink, then expect a knock on your site ranking.

  3.  Social networks

Creating content that would be shared by millions of people through the social network can drive you tons of backlinks. Targeting a certain interest group, creating something that is exceptional or an infographic that relates to the specific audience can spread widely through that niche of the web.
Google know that social media shares are tough to manipulate and usually are only done by humans and not a software program or robot. Its also a lot easier for Google to determine the intent of a social share, whereas determining the intent of a link isn't so easy.

Utilizing social network to create quality backlink is the great first step you have to consider. Some social network are nofollow while some are dofollow but i think both are so important because Google does count or give weight to nofollow links, they count all your backlinks and give you some weight for a percentage of nofollow links, and to make things look more natural, you need a mixture of both nofollow and dofollow links.
Placing links on social networks and creating profiles on social networks for your website or brands makes it easy for people to find your website or content that you have created and re-share it to other places and linked back to you as the source.
