Inbound links send people your way
If you’ve talked to a professional SEO firm about improving your Google rankings, then you’ve likely heard that it’s imperative to get as many other sites as possible to link to your Website. Those are called inbound links, and all professional SEO practitioners will tell you that they’re one of the cornerstones of great search rankings. But that doesn’t mean that a site with just a few inbound links can’t outrank a website that boasts lots of inbound links.
Simply having a large number of inbound links does not guarantee that it will rank high for targeted keywords. Why? Because there are several other professional SEO methods that can boost a website’s search engine positioning. If you think your competitor has many more inbound links than you, then there are other ways you can make up that discrepancy. Here are the most important professional SEO techniques:
- Optimizing your pages with targeted keywords
- Making your Website streamlined and structurally sound
- Making your HTML code error-free
- Creating a robots.txt file that allows search engine spiders to visit your website
But there’s more you can do once you start thinking about inbound links. The secret is obtaining quality links. Professional SEO firms will tell you that those are the most valuable links to procure, as they are the inbound links coming from sites that are either popular or sites that have some kind of authority. Think social bookmarking sites, college and university sites, local and national news sites, and popular web directories. Just a few links from these quality, authoritative sites could mean getting a leg up on your competitors in Google, Yahoo and Bing.
How One Way Link Building is like Exercising
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009Sitting down and revving up a one-way link building campaign by getting other sites to link to your Web site in a single afternoon is great, but it’s only a great start to successful one-way link building.
Why? Because one-way link building is a lot like exercise: You need to do it regularly if you want it to work.
Conducting a strenuous, 8 hour workout once, and then doing nothing for weeks afterwards isn’t the best way to get fit. And building a bunch of links in a single day won’t do much for your Web site’s position on a search engine results page (SERP).
Exercise gurus often say that a half hour workout every day is far healthier than a two hour workout done once a week. And it’s the same with one-way link building. Consistency counts. In order to gain and maintain great positioning on SERPs, you need to do one-way link building regularly.
Also like exercise, you won’t see the results of healthy one-way link building immediately. Even if you’re doing it correctly and regularly, one-way link building takes time; sometimes a few months, before the real results start to roll in. But make no mistake, one-way link building is a powerful tool in gaining top search engine rankings.
