Remember my previous free backlink experiments? Well, I am back with a new one. This time keeping things simpler, easier, more organized, and more beneficial for you.

However, as always, you have to take the required steps before your can submit your link.

1. First, subscribe to Blogging Bits by email or RSS.
2. Then, submit your link through link submission form and enter the link code found at the bottom of any post in your feed reader..
3. Wait. It will usually take up to 24 hours before your link appears in the sidebar.

That’s it!

Here are a few more guidelines to keep in mind when submitting your links:

• Submit only one link per domain per week (this will allow your link to stay in the linkroll for longer)
• Please submit only relevant links to Blogging Bits general topics (blogging, design, life hacks, writing, internet marketing, SEO, tech in general etc.)
• And, of course, submit only high quality stuff.

Head over to link submission page to submit your link.
