Building Quality Links That Count

Ok - well - yada yada yada , we all know that building inbound links to our website is currently the most important part of our marketing efforts, but do we all know about where those links should come from?

Lets go over it a bit and make sure we know...

First of all, every inbound link to your site isn't going to be the best link... People that link to you will generally title that link whatever they want, so don't go crazy trying to contact them to get it changed - just build new ones whenever you can.

You don't want every link to your website to have the same exact title anyway... Keep it mixed up a bit so your site doesn't get flagged as using search engine optimization...

Make sure you build links to your site from websites that have something to do with your website (theamed links)....

Like for example.....
If your building links to a website about sneakers.... You want to gain inbound links from other sites about sneakers as well as sites about clothing, outerwear, shoes, footwear, even some from sportswear or any apparel site.... It doesn't have to be just from sneaker websites.... Anything in the catagory of shoewear will help out dramatically...

Acquire any link possible from sites of authority.... .gov, official organizations with .org, local news sites, or any county state local government links are very very valuable, so get them if you possibly can....

Remember - 10 GOOD links is better than 200 crappy ones....

Hi,

To boost my PR and position in search engine I'm interesting in buying texk-link. Is it worth it ?

make sure you buy targeted links because some site get penalized for buying untargeted links...

Hi Clasione:

Why would a government/authority site link to one about "sneakers" or in my case, ticket sales or bonsai or dating? Or to any non-relevant non-Government site? I see no logic in that.

Do you have any authority sites that link to your website? If so, how did you achieve that feat?

Cordially,

Obtaining inbound (one-way) links from authority sites is not as difficult as it seems. Create the content that attracts the links. Become an authority in your niche. My little hobby/ecommerce site has deeplinks from universities, writers, translators, educators, the US FDA and other respected sites in our niche. It's not necessary for every link to point to your home page - spread them around.

Most academic pages list the contact information for the person responsible for maintaining the resource as well as the date last modified.

If it's been awhile since the page has seen any changes it's easy to suggest the inclusion of new relevant information to bring the page up to date (for the benefit of their visitors). Suggesting a few good resources besides your own may prompt them to update the page.

If the page was updated recently then you know the person is active and there's a chance to have your link included. Suggest your link for inclusion during the next update.

The link from the US FDA was the easiest link I've ever gotten - no PR hoarding webmaster wanting a reciprocal link to deal with.
