Quality Link Building

Link Building - ChainsLinking is social networking for the web.  The more active you are and the more reasons someone has to stay in touch with you, the better connected you become.

A Powerful Asset: Links from other websites to your own can be a powerful asset.  Not only can back-links drive web traffic from these sites, your search engine rankings are often improved by such links.

Silver Bullet: However, getting quality links back to your site can be difficult and time consuming.  That is exactly the reasons it has become so important.  Over time, high quality sites will amass high quality links.  That is what search engines and web surfers are looking for.  Most methods of amassing links to your website in a short time frame, fail in the long run and often lead to ranking penalties by Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask Jeeves.

Methods: Methods for growing links / backlinks.  However, most are either time consuming or can be risky from a search engine perspective.  The once popular tactic of indiscriminately buying links or swapping links can now have a severely negative impact on your organic search engine placement.

Today, link building strategies often consist of

  • Direct solicitation of a link from a topic-related site.
  • “Link Bait” which is having something of worth to link to.
  • Business generated linking.  Getting customers, business partners, vendors, media outlets, etc., to link to you.
  • Socially generated linking.  Becoming involved in online (or physical), communities and building links through those sources.
