Link Up
Links are critical to search engine optimization efforts. There are several types of links: inbound links, outbound links, internal links, image links, text links and more. This article will focus on inbound links and how you can use them as part of your search engine optimization efforts.Inbound links are links coming into your site from an outside site. Some SEO consultants believe incoming links are the most important contributing factor for increasing a site’s rank.
Using a link-exchange with relevant sites and hubs can boost inbound links. There is a difference between a link-farm and a link exchange, however. If the links are on-topic and the sites provide original content, then it is a link-exchange and not a link-farm. For example, if a website is talking about the brutal summers in Houston, then getting a link on a hub with water conservation sites, swamp-cooler information sites, some clothing sites, and even some botany sites could prove useful. If the referring site is nothing but a list of random and unrelated links, then a webmaster risks catching the attention of a search engine editor and damaging all their other search engine optimization efforts.
Another way of increasing legitimate inbound links is writing product reviews and sending them to the maker. If you really enjoy a particular product or service and you write an especially compelling letter, the other site might include your words along with a link to your website on their website. For example, if a roofing contractor in Houston finds that a certain type of shingle provides exceptional quality, that shingle manufacturer might post a consumer testimonial along with a link on their website.
Interestingly, providing good quality outbound links can boost incoming links. If you provide a good resource then other people who frequent your site for those resources might link to you as a way of providing a resource to their visitors. Here is a tangible example: if a person runs a blog about architecture in Houston, they may help their readers by providing a link to another site that links to various homes and buildings around Houston. This is part of the beauty of search engine optimization. It eases the accessibility of information.
Writing articles and getting them posted on syndicated websites can be extremely helpful. The articles themselves can help establish the writer as an authority on a particular subject. Sometimes article hosting sites will provide links at the bottom of the article as well as on an author biography page. For example, if someone runs a music store in downtown Houston, writing articles for the entertainment sections of local webzines might cross-pollinate readers and consumers. However, the articles must be of good quality. No one wants to know more about a service if they think the article is inaccurate.
