Links from other websites
pointing to your site or blog are amongst the most important factors that Search
Engines(GOOGLE, BING, etc) take into account when deciding how important and
relevant your site ist, and where it should be listed on their results pages.
If you want to build links yourself, you will have several options. Some of the
most widely used ways of building links are:
1) Submit your website to directories with
a link pointing back to your site/blog.
2) Write and submit unique
articles to article sites such as Articlebase.com, Apsence.com, EzineArticles.com
with links back to your site/blog included.
3) Web 2.0 Sites: Create content on so-called ‘content sharing sites’ with text, video, images, etc.
like Hubpages.com, Squidoo.com and include text links to your site/blog. Some
of them provide excellent PageRank (PR) value, others no value due to their ‘no-follow’ tag in place. You will have to check the sites you intend to build
links from.
4) Write comments on relevant BLOGS with
highly searched discussions, including a back-link in the comments you make.
5) Upload videos with
search engine optimized descriptions including your URL to video sharing sites
like YouTube and others, and therefore get at least one link to your site/blog.
6) Upload images to image sharing
sites like Flickr.com with a link to your site/blog. You can also add keywords
to the alt attributes of your images, but search engines don’t weigh ALT text
as highly as the link text.
7) Put together packages for
webmasters at relevant websites which makes it easy for them to link
to your site. Then ask other relevant websites whether they are willing to give
you a link, by offering them content like writing an article exclusively to
their site or you ask to exchange links with them at one place on SEO Info & Services.
8) Ask other relevant
websites whether they are willing to give you a link, by offering them
content, such as writing an article exclusively to their site.
9) Buy links from well
ranked sites only if you get real value for your money and don’t overdo it.
