Link Building Stategies (Page 1 of 2)
If you have found this article you are most likely aware that effective link building is the most important statistic search engines compare when ranking web sites. Search engines rank sites on importance, and how better to show importance than willfully being referred by other websites in the form of a link? Keep in mind that incoming links are the most important factor when ranking websites but not the only factor! Use the following link building strategies to ensure your website effectively receives sustainable traffic:
Article Writing and Submission
Writing articles is our number one recommendation when building one way, incoming links. By writing an article related to your website’s content and placing your link on it, you are not only building incoming links but also getting the attention of your targeted audience that are reading your articles. There are thousands of article distribution services as well publishers that feed on quality content and want nothing more to place your article and link on their site. Since the information in the articles can be redistributed, your article and link will be redistributed for years to come. For best exposure we recommend finding a reasonably priced submission service or program to take care of most of the leg work!
Forum, Blog, and Profiles
Do you participate in any online communities? Most allow or even force you place a profile or signature. Many of these also allow you to insert a link to a website of your choice. This link also serves multiple purposes. Search engines recognize this link as a one way link and you also will get curious visitors from the site the link was initially posted. Now be careful with this! You need to follow the rules of the website your link is being posted at. If it is against the website’s policies to post your link it is illegal for you to do so and can cause serious issues with your website and business if escalated.
Reciprocal Link Exchange
When related websites exchange links it is called reciprocal linking. Although not as beneficial as one way linking, this is a common and free way to obtain more links from related websites and is mutually beneficial to both websites. Webmasters should always keep in mind that linking to a website that is banned or being penalized by search engines may have a negative effect on their own website. For this reason, if linking to other websites, please monitor your link partners to ensure you are not a victim of these penalties.
Quality Content
Google’s number one recommendation for improving your position in their search engine is quality content. A common reason why websites fail in the marketing world is because their websites do nothing more then sell products. People as well as search engines don’t want anything to do with these websites. Information gathered by researching the topic and related topics will pull links and traffic, then you are able to offer them your products and services.
Increasing Web Traffic by Links
Every people with an online presence wishes to increase web traffic to their web site. It doesn’t matter if you have a page to get money from ads, to promote a good cause, to inform or just to have fun: in all cases it’s useless to run a web site if no one is going to visit it. Advertising may be quite expensive, but fortunately there are some great free ways of generating web traffic.
A good way to increase traffic on your website is to find blogs that are related to the interests of your readers. Create a username for the blog site that reflects the content of your own site. For example, if your site is about collecting antique cameras, then choose a username such as “old camera collector” or “antique camera guy. Then go to the comment section of the blog and reference your related site and include the url.
Something else that you may want to think about is that a static site can grow old. The content on your site is designed to be read and remembered. After someone has read your site and the articles contained on it, they usually do not want to read it again, or have no need to. Because of this, a successful website should be frequently updated with unique content and newer articles. The readers who visit your site will check your website often for these updated articles and come back to read them over and over again. That is more traffic for your site!
Online networking is helpful. You should find and contact owners with sites that would attract your target audience. Ask them for a quote for an online article, or invite them for a guest appearance on your blog or to write an article for your site.
Site owners, being quite flattered, may put you on their blog roll or even give you a link back from their site. By being asked to guest blogger post or even to write an article for their site will give you more exposure and free web traffic.
Don’t limit your networking to only small blogs or sites. Many very successful bloggers have gotten exposure and a huge amount of hits from being quoted in larger publications like their local newspaper or even major magazines like Time or Newsweek. They may be primarily old-fashioned paper publications, but most of them have an online component.
Having your site mentioned in a large publication is probably the best way to increase web traffic. To make this happen you should determine the subjects which interest your readers, and find reporters who cover those subjects. Then you can send these reporters press releases. You can also send them letters telling them how much you enjoyed their articles and letting them know that you have a related site. It’s possible that they will use quotes from your letters and website or even mention your site.
