The Best Link Building Techniques

Some of the best traffic that you can get to your website is organic traffic, free from the search engines. This traffic is very beneficial for you because it won\'t cost you anything and the traffic that does come to your website from the search engines is as targeted as they can be. Here is the best link building techniques you can use to vault your website up the search engine rankings. The first technique is to manually submit an article to the top article directories on the internet. Do a brief search for the top 10 to see what they are when you are ready to do your backlinking. These article directories will give you the most juice for your links and are worth much more than getting links from low PR article directories.

You can also use a piece of software or submission service to submit your articles to hundreds of lower PR article directories. Even though the directories are certainly less known than the top 10, these article directories will certainly gain rank over time and since you are picking up hundreds of links, this can be an extremely effective link building technique.

You should also submit unique articles to several web 2.0 properties. Websites like HubPages and Squidoo are valued highly in the eyes of Google, Yahoo, Bing and the like. The trick then is to also pick up backlinks to these pages once your content is approved. This will surely increase the PR on these pages and will effectively boost your website as well.

The best and most valued backlinks are links pointing to your website on pages that already have high PR. PR stands of page rank and Google ranks each page on a 0 to 10 scale. One backlink on a PR 8 page is worth a lot more than 100 links or even 1000 links on PR 0 pages.

It will take some effort to get these kinds of links but it is surely possible. All you need to do is compile a list of these web pages and then contact the owner to see if they will let you include a well written article with links back to your site on the page.

Of course these link building techniques on high PR pages are going to take a lot more work than the other techniques listed above, but the extra effort put in will be well worth the time spent.

Type of business with building - If you owned a building and Wal-Mart was opening its doors across the street in a previously unoccupied area (along with 12-14 small shops), what type of business would you start? Here are the considerations: 1. Money is a non-factor 2. Building is fairly large (10,000) square feet 3. Building is on the corner of a busy intersection (about to get much busier)
Re: How to do Link Building? - Link Building... Time-intensive. Frustrating. Sometimes confusing. Yet Unavoidable. Because ultimately, it's still the trump card for higher rankings. What happens to all those Wavers that think [i:1otfkny0]Getting Links = SEO[/i:1otfkny0] when that majority of the Google algo is devalued in various ways? Wavers built their fortunes on "links=seo". When that goes away, the Wavers have zero to hold on to. What will happen to the way search algorithms score links is already happening. The Google algo has become much more elegant and advanced, devaluing staggering amount of links that shouldn't count, and placing more emphasis on trusted links. And the trust and juice given by those links is then verified by elements like user data, domain age, and other relatively hard-to-spoof factors. toddbeld

Re: Bad SEO techniques? - There are few more techniques which also known as the Bad SEO Techniques or Black Hat SEO Techniques. Such as: - Relying on keyword metatags - Purchase Links (From Spamming or blacklisted sites or doing purchase links on high level for site marketing) - Horde Page Rank: This is one of my favorites, because it's one that most webmasters don't understand yet. This is because it changed over the past year or two. The concept people have in their mind is that page rank is a key part of site rankings and linking to other sites "leaks page rank" from your site. However, the world has changed. - Swap Links: Another oldie, but not goodie. Search engines want links to represent endorsements. Swapped links represent barter, and they are trivial to detect. Don't swap links for the purpose of building page rank. It's a waste of your time - Implement duplicate content - Use Session IDs on your URLs - Use lots of Javascript - Implement your site in Flash
