Link Building Strategies (Page 1 of 2)
Link building is an approach done by SEO specialists to create inbound links to their websites. This helps websites get higher rankings in search engine results. It plays an important part in on-line marketing campaign. This could make or break your search engine position so there should be extra caution in the off-page optimization process.
There are many ways to build links. But most require a lot of patience because of the continuous and sometimes repetitious manner of doing it. Some of them are the following:
Directory Submission
When search engines were still in their infancy, directories are very much used by people to find what the are looking for. It is categorized and well organized. It is humanly edited so make sure that you are not submitting a mirror or duplicate site. Doing such will result to site being deleted. Also, avoid link farms. Even if it is a back link, it still won’t help you in your rankings. Link farm is a site where links of different categories are listed altogether. Submit to as many directories as possible.
Article Submission
Write articles and make sure that it is somehow related to your site. The reason for doing this is because at the bottom of your article, you can put a resource box which the author can make a recommendation to your site. Once article is approved, it will be an automatic link going to your site. Also, this is one way of proving that you know your business well enough to write about topics around and in it. Submit your articles to as much article sites as possible.
Press Release Submission
Press release is mainly for the promotion of your website. You will write about what’s new with your company as well as your products and services. Submitting it to numerous press release sites would also create back links because like in article submission, there is also a resource box. But the difference is that it won’t mention about the author. It will contain all about the company or the website.
Purchasing Links
This is usually being done by brand new or struggling web sites to attain high listings and increase traffic. This will be create one-way links going to your site without waiting long for it to be reviewed.
Through Email
Visit sites that you think compliment yours and find a way to contact them. The usual procedure is to email them and propose a link exchange. Wait for their response which may take weeks and when they do, start the transaction. Some do reciprocal link exchange, where two sites agree to swap links. And some offer a three-way link exchange, where one has to have 2 websites to this. You will have his link on your site and he will link bank from another site.
Blog Creating a blog for your website is also helpful because it can be published for public consumption immediately. Another advantage is that you can leave your link partner a choice if he wants to do a three-way link exchange instead of having reciprocal link exchange.
Why Is HostGators Web Hosting Service Recommended So Often?
HostGators service is usually ranked highly in web hosting reviews and comments posted by users are mainly positive.
To me the key part of HostGators service is the support offered. Despite its recent growth it is still possible to escalate support issues to Brent Oxley the founder and Chairman (although I have not needed to tested this).
I know from past experience how frustrating it is to have a problem and not be able to get a sensible answer from the host’s support team. I have also used a reseller service, which seemed like a very good deal until my site went down on a Friday evening and I could not get any help until Monday morning.
These experiences have made me believe that support is the most important factor when choosing a web host (after, of course, ensuring that your technical requirements are met). Certainly it is more important than getting the lowest possible price.
HostGators support is quite extensive. There is a Support section of their web site with articles and videos covering numerous areas and a series of forums where users can discuss topics. If you need to contact support this can be done 24/7 via phone (toll free in US), chat and email (creates a ticket in a help desk system).
Of course ultimately how successful a support operation is depends on the people involved. Are they helpful, do they know what they are talking about and, most importantly, are they able to resolve issues?
My own experience is that HostGators support team are good and are prepared “to go the extra mile” to help even when the issue is not their fault. It would be very easy, and probably understandable, to establish that a problem was nothing to do with HostGator and leave it at that. However on several occasions they have done more than this, helping me establish what the problem was advising me how to fix it.
I therefore became a very satisfied customer and am happy to recommend HostGators service to others.
