The Best Methods To Use When Building Links

By Peter Hennemn


Getting traffic to your website from the search engines can be broken down in to two sections. These sections are on-page search engine optimization and off-page search engine optimization. While both of these aspects of SEO are very important, in this article we will be focusing more on the off-page search engine optimization.

Allow me to explain what off page optimization is for anybody who is totally new. This is how you're going to get your site to rank in the search engines using techniques that do not have anything to do with your site. And the only thing off page optimization truly has to do with is backlink building that point to your Internet site. And I'm certain you are aware that developing links can be done using different methods. We are going to be going through a handful of these backlink building techniques and explaining to you why some of these approaches are better than others.

The very first method we would like to discuss is the creating of links using Internet site directories. Even though a site directory can almost be described as a search engine, they don't crawl the web looking for new websites and pages, you really need to submit your website to them. And some of those directories can have a terrific page rank so posting your site to them is a good idea. You can actually find directories on the Internet that have a page rank of 8 or higher, and getting listed in them can really give your website an increase in the search engine rankings. Needless to say volume also counts, so even if the website directory doesn't have a high page rank you should still submit your website to it as it is still a web link back to your site.

This brings us to article promotion as being a backlink building method. This is actually the 2nd way that is effective for creating a lot of links. And just like Internet site directories you can discover article directories to submit your articles to which have a good page rank. Most of the article directories which have been around for some time may have a page rank of at least 5. Links within articles are more effective than website directory links and when you get your articles printed in an article directory with a page rank of 5 these links will possess much more power. Another thing you ought to know is that these powerful links will be helping you to get a much better page rank for your website. If you wish to find out all about article marketing it is possible to find manuals on the Internet, so we will not be covering the precise approach to article marketing.

Now that you know backlinks are good for your site, don't fall for any of those automatic backlink softwares that promise you the moon. When it comes to these automatic backlink systems, the techniques they use to build the links could end up hurting your page rank. This is not to say that all link building software is bad because it's not. There are softwares available that can help to save you loads of time when submitting articles and submitting your site to website directories. These types of softwares are generally a good idea to use as it can take the time it takes to do your submissions and reduce it greatly. And that extra time you get can be enough for you to start creating new products and websites.
