How Can I Improve My Websites Trust
 

Google likes websites it trusts. If a lot of high quality sites link to yours you will get an SEO boost.
If a lot of websites link to you which don't have high trust you will get more traffic but no SEO boost.

Therefore, how can I get my website trusted?

I am aware I can purchase high PR, aged links that Google trusts. I just don't want to spend $$$$ doing so.

I don't really want to spam other "relevant" websites asking for a link.

Any ideas?

Wait until it happens naturally.
Pay them to promote it through adwords.
Send Matt some cock pics and ask to be friends.

It sounds like you need to sign up to something like MajesticSeo.com, and do the work.

SemRush.com is good too, for this. I am not sure if you've used it, but if not, you can contact them, and they will give you one week trial of Guru plan for free (no credit card needed, I think).

Have you ran a poll asking users if they trust you?

https it. Easiest and cheapest way.

Yeah. Run a poll.

What should i put in the pole?

:thumbsup Good advice

In the sig. Great deal happening now. We have a bunch from them. Google like.

I would recommend earned referral and citation links from high Google PR sites and social media user posts. You cannot buy trust you have to earn it.

:thumbsup
haha, you made my day. I will do it after posting here!

Its true what Barry-xlovecam says. In this times its not only a google thing. And absolute not a SEO thing like "hey I have so much cool PR Links" Its a mix of many. Social Media, these silly website rating companies like WOT and friends, and biggest Reputations of customers.

Maybe you need a reputation management

Create a website people trust, here's some good old research from BJ Fogg: Stanford Guidelines for Web Credibility

You answered your own question with your second sentence. A simple fact is that you are soliciting advice from people who are either regurgitating crap they read (usually the same d recycled myths) or that are trying to sell something.... and no one is going to give you a concrete definition of "trust" and what to do to get it, because they can't. It's just one more vague, completely undefined concept used by people who don't know to convince suckers they do.

What is a backlink? It's a citation. It's a link to the source or an authority on that topic. Doesn't it stand to reason that high quality sites or enough volume of sites, linking to you signals that you are legit? This is and always has been the very foundation of most seat engine algorithms. PageRank, TrustRank etc are just formulas to determine the value of inbound links and the accumulated value on your page is in large part what determines the legitimacy of the info on that page. I'm not saying it's the only factor but it is by far, the most important and first signal.
