Linking Is Key To Your Search Engine Optimization Endeavors

To get visitors to your site from the search engines, it will rely on two points of SEO. These parts are generally on-page search engine optimization as well as off-page search engine optimization. In all honesty I can not claim that one is more important than the other, on the other hand, in the following paragraphs we are going to be talking about off page optimization.

Just like you would imagine, off page optimization, refers to aspects of getting better search engine rankings using methods that don't deal with the way you set up your website. Generally we are talking about constructing links to your site that happen to be pointing from other sites. Needless to say you probably are aware of this but there are many distinct approaches you can take to do this. Here we are going to be looking at some of the better ways to build links quickly and also create them so the search engines don't get upset.

Many of you may or may not have heard about website directories, but this is the first technique we are going to talk about. For those of you that are unaware a website directory is almost the same thing as a search engine, however if you wish to get your site listed in the directories you will have to submit your website to them. This is a good way to build top quality one way links to your site from high authority sites. You can also find directories on the web that have a page rank of 8 or higher, and getting listed in them can really give your site an increase in the search engine rankings. On the other hand this doesn't imply that you shouldn't submit to each and every directory you can even if it has a low page rank because the number of links you have will also help.

Now let's proceed to using article marketing for building links. This is the second way that works great for developing a lot of links. Most of the article directories on the Internet also have great page rank. And when you do a little research you will find that the most popular article directories are ranked at 5 and better. Links within articles are more effective than website directory links and when you get your articles printed in an article directory with a page rank of 5 these links will have much more power. And if you continue to submit no less than one article every day to a bunch of article directories you will find that your page rank of your site is also increasing. There are plenty of books and guides on the Internet that can give you all the in's and outs of article marketing.

Now that you understand backlinks are good for your site, don't fall for any of those semi-automatic or fully automatic backlink softwares that promise you the moon. The very last thing you want to do after all your diligence is to get slapped by Google for spamming links all over the web It's not to say that all link building software is bad because it's not. You can find softwares out there that can help to save you loads of time when submitting articles as well as submitting your site to website directories. Simply by using a software to help you with these other tasks you're going to be saving a lot of time and you will also end up getting more work done. Leaving you more time to generate new websites or products and services.
