SEO by the Hour - Link Building
Link Building |
Link Building is probably the most important SEO promotion tactic besides unique content that attracts visitors. Once you create a site that you feel visitors are looking for and have written keyword rich content, link building is necessary so other sites and users can find you. To rank well on search engines you need back links (links pointing back to your site). Back links are considered votes in the search engine bots' eyes. Over time, the search engines had to find ways to filter through millions of sites with content relevant to users' search queries. How do they choose which site should be #1? Most of the time, the #1 site is the site with the most industry related 'votes' (links). Other sites must vote for you. This is why link building is so important. It's a popularity contest. Besides having the best content, you need other sites to verify that by linking to your site. Google assumes if website 'b' and 'c' both have links pointing to website 'a', then website 'a' must be a reputable site that has other websites finding use in its content. After all, why else would another website/webmaster link to you? There are many ways to go about this extremely important SEO service. Nowadays webmasters are becoming savvy and knowing that getting links is the way to the top of search engines. But a link building expert who studies algorithms and has experience in this industry knows which type of links can help your site and which can be detrimental. Everyday Google and other major search engines are reconstructing their search engine ranking algorithms so that they can continue to deliver the best results possible. So they are learning which links are placed by lazy uneducated SEO's and which links are created by users that actually found your web site useful. (Both are very easy to obtain based on the approach you decide to take.) All in all, not only do you need powerful and thoughtful content, you need links from other sites to prove to the engines that your websites is worth something. Who gives you the links and why they give you the links is perhaps the key to a successful link building campaign.
