7 Powerful Linking Techniques That Rocket Your Website To The
Top
Author: ©Kanaga Siva
Webmasters put in a tremendous amount of effort to increase the
Link Popularity and Page Rank of their Websites. To succeed in
your efforts you have to find ways and means of getting the links
the Search Engines love and not links which can even be detrimental
to your very efforts to increase link popularity. In fact obtaining
links from certain sites can even get your website penalized.
Once
you know the links the Search Engines love and appreciate you
can concentrate all your efforts to obtain those links. Let us
see what these links are.
1.
If you have unique content and excellent resources in your website,
other websites will link to your site, thereby giving you a one-way
inbound link which is much appreciated by the search engines.
Search Engines and visitors also like fresh content so updating
it regularly enhances the popularity of your site even further.
Again
if the site linking to your site is relevant to your site and
is of high PR, then the search engines will give high weightage
to that link. So it is quality and not quantity that matters.
2.
The craze today to increase link popularity is to write articles
and submit them to Article Directories, Article Distributors and
Article Banks. This is a great way to obtain one-way inbound links
through your embedded link in the Resource Box of your article.
These articles are again published by webmasters who are in the
look out for good content to enhance the quality of their websites
thus creating a viral effect. This is a great way to increase
link popularity.
Good
quality articles displaying your expertise have every possibility
of being published by authoritative sites thereby giving a quality
link and good traffic as well. To obtain the maximum benefit from
these inbound links, you should ensure that wherever possible
your link is an Anchor text with one of your keywords in it.
3.
It is often been said in recent times that Reciprocal Linking
is dead. This is not quite true. It is known that Search Engines
do not appreciate reciprocal links if your site depends solely
on reciprocal links. This is because search engines have found
out that there are dubious methods of obtaining links to increase
link popularity. Search Engines do appreciate reciprocal links
if you exchange links with relevant quality websites. Rather than
linking with several high ranking irrelevant websites, it is better
to obtain reciprocal links from a few relevant sites of quality,
which will indeed be valuable back links.
4.
Search Engines recognize and do appreciate links from good quality
Directories. Hence to increase link popularity and page rank,
you have to submit your site to these directories. There are both
free and paid submission directories.
There
are also good secondary Search Engine friendly directories where
you can list your site for free, by paying a fee or by providing
a reciprocal link.
5.
Another method of obtaining a One-way Inbound link is to offer
to write testimonials of products you have successfully tested
or used and requesting the vendor to allow you to have a link
back from the testimonial to your website.
6.
Writing and releasing press releases on a regular basis whenever
there are new promotions or major changes in your business can
also be a source of good links and traffic too.
7.
Participating in Discussion Forums especially in your area of
expertise and including your link in the signature; posting useful
and interesting comments in Blogs along with your URL, are ways
of obtaining one-way links that will increase link popularity.
Successful
implementation of these techniques will bring you the rewards
you have been dreaming of, such as a high page rank, a surge in
traffic and a tremendous increase in sales that will leave your
competitors behind.
