Link Building Tips:-
- Create well thought out title (anchor texts) and descriptions for your link building campaigns. The title should be written such that it not only accommodates multiple variations of your prominent keyword phrases, but should also be a provocative sales message encouraging users to click. This will improve your search engine rankings for multiple keyword phrases and also get you direct traffic.
- Try to distribute the incoming links all over your website instead of concentrating only on the home page. This is known as Deep Linking. This is beneficial because it tells the search engines that you have rich content on your website. But if you have all the links coming to your home page only, it tells the search engines that you have a shallow site with little importance and the links have been created using automation, rather than gradually by the value of your own site content.
- Most search engines consider http://www.yourwebsitesite.com & http://yourwebsitesite.com (without the www) as two different pages. Use the 'www' version in hyper-linking all your internal links as well as for securing incoming external links. You can also use Google Webmaster Tools to specify your preferred domain format.
- Don't underestimate the power of even low PR websites directing traffic to your website over time. The website with a PR2 today could be tomorrow's PR5 site, and vice versa. Analyze the website for content relevance and features to predict its future performance to make any decision. Also keep in mind that PR data is updated every 6 months so what you see it today may not be the site's true PR value.
- Before approaching someone for a link to your website, you should take great care to select the appropriate page for linking. The selection should be on the base of which page will pass the maximum value to your website. Ideally it should be the most relevant page to your website with the highest back links.
- Google's primary motto has always been to help its users find information they are looking for and hence it gives extra weight age to .edu, .gov and .org links. Links from such sites are considered best in the business and at the same time are relatively hard to acquire. The best way to approach for such links is by offering help to organizations to build their websites, writing professional articles that professors can recommend to their students and making donations in your website business's name or volunteering at charitable events.
- Make sure that you use supporting words, synonyms, and surrounding text. While doing the internal linking or external linking of your website, you must allow for minimum 20% topic drift while avoiding the use of exactly same anchor text every time. Using same anchor text for internal and external linking will make your website link pattern look 'unnatural' or 'contrived'.
- If your website is link worthy within your industry, you may want to use PPC for link building. With PPC, relevant traffic will come to your website, and regardless of the channel, if they like your website, they will link to you. If you manage things well, this ploy will prove to be much more economical and natural than a conventional link building method.
- Make sure that you don't have any grammatical or spelling mistake on your website, especially if you want industry leaders and authoritative people like librarians to link to your site. This is where having a quality content writer will pay, as committing such mistakes will deprive you from fetching some otherwise possible 5 star links.
- Comment on other blogs with a signature link to the most relevant page of your website. Although this will not provide you any direct Search Engine benefit, but you will get a portion of the traffic from these blogs diverted to your website and if they like your website, they might link to your website too. Just make sure that the comment is actually useful otherwise you might get banned.
- Social news sites like Digg, Reddit, Boingboing etc are juicy source to garner hundred and even thousands of high quality links instantly to your website given that you understand the demographic of the users of the particular news site and you have the ability to perceive what works and what not for a particular social news site. One thing that works on Digg might not work so well on Propeller.
- It's a very basic requisite of link building that ironically many webmasters tend to overlook. You must take great care while writing anchor texts that you want people to use while linking to your website. Always make sure that you have your most important key phrases in it and not the keyword less domain name of you website.
- Socializing and engaging yourself and your website in dialogs with industry related blogs is a great way to make your presence felt on the web. Since active bloggers keep a very close eye on who is linking to them with the help of Technorati, you must look to take an initiative by linking out first before looking for a link in return.
- One of the qualities of the most successful link builders is that they are the most generous community on the planet when it comes to endorsing for links. So you may want to dedicate a page on your website to a list of the industry leaders in your preferred order with respective testimonials for them stating what makes them so great. You may then send them an email to invite them to use those testimonials as a sales tool to boost their brand value; chances are that company’s link to anything that boosts their business egos.
- Here is yet another innovative approach to link building - Let's say if you have a travel site, you may create a special area on your website where visitors can post stories and pictures of their recent trip. This way, it will be hard for people to resist not to link to those pages from different sources. Additionally, you get access to a pool of user generated content for your website which will provide a definite boost to your keyword rankings.
- At the end of the day, it's the quality and relevance of your content that plays the most important role in the success or failure of your link building campaign. If you have crap content on your website, no matter how much efforts you put into your link building campaign, you are bound to struggle to acquire quality links. Your content needs to be amazing and only then you can expect high profile websites linking to your website. If you can hit that sweet spot for your audience then the links will automatically start rolling and that too with minimal efforts.
- Do you know that your link profile is a major contributor to decide the geo-targeting of your website? If you have majority back links coming from websites with their IP in France, the chances are that Google will rank you higher in the results of google.fr than in google.com. Needless to say, your own IP is also a major indicator of your website's target market. So next time before you start your link building campaign, keep your target country market in mind.
- Do you want to see your Google Page Rank tool bar go dancing asap. Get links from .edu websites. These are the most hard to get but not impossible. Here is a wonderful article on how you can get .edu links for your website.
- To develop authority and be easy to link at, make your content easy to understand and put extra effort to minimize grammatical errors. Add an easily accessible privacy policy and 'about us' section, so your site seems more trustworthy. Including a picture of yourself may also help build your authority.
- Web directories are a wonderful way to start some quality link building to your site. You can start with Dmoz and Yahoo directory first and then move on with other directories.
