Complete Guide To Effective Link Building
Saturday, November 14th, 2009The search engine ranking of a given website depends on many factors, mainly on receipt of quality and relevant backlinks. If you are in the process of beginning the task of acquiring quality backlinks, go through this article carefully which outlines the differences between good and bad backlinks which can either increase or decrease the search engine ratings and decide its fate.
A quality backlink is the one which has relevance to the content in your website and your web page should be indexed and ranked by Google. If your webpage link has less than 30 other links to other websites, it will be ranked high. Directory submissions, posting articles, blogs and forums are some techniques which will fetch good rankings.
By proper selection of the directory category and managing to get your link posted on the first or second page of the listings of other websites of the same category, you can be assured of acquiring quality backlinks. In addition, the Google page rank on your web page and the landing page for your link will also bring quality backlinks.
Posting an article which is relevant in content and category to your website, in high quality article directories, according to the acceptable standards of search engines, is one of the ways of getting good backlinks. while blogs help your site to get more exposure, posting your links in forum pages helps you acquire backlinks instantly and increase your business efficiently.
The following backlinks must be avoided - if the webpage has a zero page rank; contains more than 100 links; contains same contents under different URLs; utilizes redirects/URL cloaking; have “no follow” or “no index” robots meta tag within the source code and have question marks in the URL since they are not always indexed by the search engines.
Always gradual accumulation of backlinks is considered good. In order to achieve high search engine ranking, take care not to post your link on pages which open very slowly; pages with more than 100 links; and pages which list their results in alphabetical order (putting your link in such a position that it moves to a less relevant page later).
