  Soban Tariq: Hi Guys,
  
  I want some suggestions. I own this website, http://thefashionamerica.com ,
  I have a question that how can i rank my website? I tried lot of tricks to make backlinks, but in Alexa there is only showing one backlink. I am very much worried.
  Can anyone help me in this regard?

  Neeraj Pandey: +Soban Tariq don't trust Alexa as it shows the data from toolbar download . please register your website in Bing and Google webmaster tools. You will be able to see your website back links. Second thing create some good quality website using good content and have good interlinking . back links quality is also imp otherwise they might put u in trouble

  P.S. I do not know what happened to the site, but these days it is horrible. Still the content is solid.

  Sam “H” Mah: You can't just look at one source, you have to look at Google Console. It also displays how many incoming links you have.
