If you want to rank in Google, you need to have backlinks and a lot of them.  And whilst no-one knows exactly how Google works, it is widely agreed that high quality one way backlinks carry the most kudos.  

Not too long ago, one way backlinks could be had simply by dropping a webmaster an email asking for one.  But in today’s more aggressive and link-savvy internet, this method is essentially dead.

This is where Zimbio is so important.

Zimbio is a rapidly growing social network site that allows users to build interactive Wikizines (web magazines) on whatever topic they choose.  Initially I thought it was just a celebrity site for teenagers to find out the latest gossip on their current heroes. 

But no! 

Like Twitter, it has a very serious role in promoting your online presence if used correctly.  All you need to do is set up your profile and opt to become the editor of a Wikizine … on your blog!

The interface is incredibly easy to use and allows you to create topics in just a few minutes.  All you need to do is add the RSS to your blog and ask Zimbio to automatically ping your blog.  Then all of your blog posts are imported individually, with one way backlinks to each post!  The beauty of the system is that every article you add gets a back link to your site.

And as an authority site, Zimbio often features highly in Google Search Engine Results Pages.  So by consistently posting on Zimbio you will get quality one way backlinks to your site AND become a known expert in your field!

This is one source of backlinks, you surely cannot overlook!
