Are you taking on Goliath with your Website Linking Strategy?
When it comes to your website link building strategy are you taking on Goliath?
Lets look at the search engine ranking you are looking to get to your site for example if you are looking to get to a number one listing under the keyword Internet Marketing’ in Google. Is the target you are aiming at a Goliath? As in a lot of well established competition?
I know David won the mythical battle, but wouldn’t it be better to have the best odds possible?
A website Link building Strategy with focused keywords, which is achievable, is going to bring a focused visitor ready to buy rather than untargeted “traffic for ego”
To do this properly you need to research the words you think that you most likely customer and research the competition in this area.
And also look at the facts about the top listed websites:
1. What page rank does it have? 2. How many links does the site have pointing to it? 3. How many pages does it have listed? 4. What type of site is it eg: Normal, Blog or Wikipedia? 5. Does it exchange links?
A search under the term “internet marketing” shows all the different types of sites mentioned above- the competitive terms are good for showing what works.
Some webmasters say that you should vary the “Anchor text” this is the text that displays in a text link on another site, linking to your site. Some webmaster software programs automatically insert the same text in every page they display.
Lets look at a real time example:
1. Search for “Reciprocal Link Software” without quote marks, in Google 2. You should find the program Autolinks Pro 3. Go to the demo version 4. You will see that the software generates pages, with the text “Reciprocal Link Software” in every page.
Now that’s the same text, on every page, of every site, of every user online. Now there will be others that will link with something different, for example the domain name, but the majority of the links say what the site is about. That’s logical enough for both Humans and Google!
Seeing a number 1 ranked website out of 1 million results, on a focused keyword site is enough proof for me what works!
From here you need to develop a conclusion. Focused 2 3 words that helps you avoid taking on the Goliath’s of search engine results. The more targeted the visitor, the more likely he is to stay and take the action you want.
This is not to say that you cannot take on a Goliath, there just needs to be and understanding of the effort of time and resources of taking on a giant! Understand the battle field!
Article Writing Tips: The Phrase
The hardest article writing tips to learn and apply are the ones that teach us to abandon bad writing and speech habits. This is especially true of a writer’s propensity to write in the same manner that they speak in. This is never a wise idea as any transcriptionist will tell you: most people speak terribly and constantly blurt all sorts of nonsensical crap. This means that if you already speak poorly your writing will probably seem amateurish at best. This includes the use of phrases like “Should of,” “Anyways,” and one of the most common idiotic phrases of all, “Try and.” Nearly everyone uses the words “try and” in everyday speech, but this is a perfect example of poor English. And when this phrase makes its way into the writing of even very good writers it can result in the loss of the most valuable readers: the intelligent ones!
In the first sentence of this article are the following terms: “learn and apply.” Let’s compare that to “try and write.” The word “and” is an operator that indicates there are two things being combined, or that one follows the other. So in the case of the first term, we know the usage of “learn and apply” is correct because there are two specific things going on: learning AND applying.
In the case of the second term, “try and write” doesn’t yield any real meaning once you examine it. We know that there is writing going on, but what is this “try and” part mean? What does this person intend to try in addition to writing? The phrase can be broken down into its two parts to clearly see why it’s ridiculous:
*Try
AND
*Write
Don’t forget, AND is the operator that combines the two words. The “try” part of this term is vague and makes no sense: what is being tried? The phrase really means that two things are happening: one is writing and the other is unknown.
There is never a time where you could use the phrase “try and” where it would be considered correct. Instead, you should always say “try to.” Compare the following sentences and you’ll easily see the difference:
“I will try and run 3 miles later.” Or “I will try to run 3 miles later.”
“Try and get this done quickly please.” Or “Try to get this done quickly please.”
So now that you know the difference, you shouldn’t use the phrase “try and” unless you’re running a tween blog that uses words like “coulda” and “ur.” But if you want to be taken seriously as a writer, you’ll TRY TO ensure that you never write as you speak. Chances are great that once you start writing correctly, you’ll probably start speaking correctly as well.
