Seven ways to get backlinks for your website, each with what bklink's own audits measured. 21 of our 36 directory listings linked back with a followed link, but only 14 of 35 directory links our audits found were still there about 5 weeks later. 84% of links found on press-release sites were nofollow. Of 1,186 placed links read again 36 to 45 days later, 94% were still on the page.
