Popularity is Only a Link Away!
Links make it possible for your website to be found in
cyberspace. Links and search engines work hand in hand to
make the process of seeking out information go more
smoothly.
Link popularity has to do with the ranking order that the
search engines attribute to your site. Keywords also play a
role in this process.
Google leads the pack when it comes to search engines and
most of the others look to Google for guidance. Search
engines give the most prestigious rankings to sites that
link to other sites that contain related subject matter.
Keywords matter in regards to link popularity. The more
often a keyword is used the more difficult it makes it to
obtain the end result of link popularity.
It’s not as simple as managing to link up with plenty of
other websites. Quality is your aim, not quantity. Link
farms are everywhere on the Internet but they only make your
search for link popularity a nightmare. Look past these
awful “endless lines of link pages” and continue your quest
for exceptional quality.
Quality is the name of the game so be conscientious about
which sites you choose to link up with. Keep this rule in
mind- never link to a site you wouldn’t want to go to
because if you have reservations about the site then there
is a good chance that others might as well.
Now it is time to get down to business and look at what you
need to do to improve your website rankings.
What you need to do first is to get your site listed in a
directory that is popular. Yahoo or an Open Directory
Project are two excellent choices. If you have a business-
oriented site Yahoo will charge you approximately three
hundred dollars a year but it is free if your site deals
with anything else. Open Directory lists sites for free no
matter what they pertain to.
Set your sights high and aim for the places your site is
likely to be highly visible. National categories get more
traffic than smaller regional ones.
Now you nee to increase your link popularity by finding
other sites that cater to the kind of people you hope to. If
you sell beauty supplies try to link up with another site
that does the same. You might in turn improve business for
the both of you.
Remember you are seeking out other websites that are of a
very high quality, sites that are in no way competing with
yours and sites that have already achieved (or are well on
their way to achieving) a high ranking with search engines.
Review other sites to get a feel for them.
Once you have found a site that suits your needs,
congratulations! Now it’s time to get to work. Right off the
bat make their link a part of your site. Drive the traffic
to both of your sites. Now via e-mail inform the owner of
the other site that you proudly have linked their site to
yours. You’ve joined forces in a sense. Everyone needs
allies in the online world after all.
Show your appreciation of their website and let them know
that you handpicked their site especially because you
enjoyed what you found when you visited it. Do be honest and
do not shower false flattery on them. It’s deceitful.
Repeat the same process with as many sites as you wish to
link up with. You can never have too many link partners in
the Internet. Just remember that you stand for quality and
you won’t accept anything less.
It takes time to move up the ranks in search engines so be
patient. Rome was not built in a day and neither can link
popularity.
One last point, make your website everything it can be in
terms of layout, color, information, etc. No one wants to
visit (or link to) a dull site. Make it shine!
