Google is Like A Voting System

How many of you have ever read a web page and you see something underline. When you mouse over it, a little hand appears. If you click on it, it goes to another website that's a backlink. The trick is to know what is a quality backlink, and exactly how many does one need to get to the top of the search engine.

Google finds its way around the internet by following links. Therefore, it may be suggested that links would be a critical piece to the search engine algorythm which ranks websites. Let's dispell a myth. It's not who gets the most visitors that gets to the top of a search engine. It's whoever is optimized the best, offering quality content, and has the best quality backlinks.

If a link on google is like a vote, then one must recognize that you need a strategy to get links. Please forget reciprocal linking. If you ask a friend, you link to me and I'll link to you, this is not a good strategy. In fact, reciprocal linking may hurt you more than you think.

Think about this way. If other websites are hosting a link to your site, that's like a recommendation saying you are a good source for value. The more that other sites are pointing to your site, the better. But what kind of link should that be? Which sites should those links be coming from?

These are some of the best kept secrets from the top internet marketers. Here are a couple of hints. The backlink should contain your keyword phrase. Links from .edu sites or .org sites are excellent. Backlinks from high quality valued sites such as Dmoz, Evan Charmichael, or sites with high PR ranks are also valuable. This is why an expert author may want to take time to deliver high value content to sites such as this.

Article Marketing is a great way to share your valuable content and information. Most article sites will take your article along with your backlink. There is high value in article marketing.

Get excited about this. I realize you may not know exactly how to do this, but you now have the top secrets that keep your competition at the top of a Google Search Engine. If this is holding you back, you need to look at your internet marketing plan to include a strategy to build your backlinks.

How Do You Check Google Ranking? - Now that Google is so responsive to your own search history, how can you get a good idea of what your Google ranking really is for your web pages? Whenever I check my ranking for specific keywords on Google, my web pages appear on the front page, or suspiciously high. My way around this is to check Google ranking via other computer Internet links, i.e., whenever I'm working in a library I will use a library computer to check. I check Google ranking before logging into my Gmail or other Google-related accounts. Does anybody else have any other tips for discovering your Google ranking? Nowadays, I check Bing.com for my webpage ranking as it gives a much less favourable (and so, I guess, "truer") ranking for my webpages than Google does...

Re: From $0.30 to $300 / Day on Google AdSense Part 1 - How To M - HI Evan, Look forward to hearing more. I like the point that you brought out with "testing." Google has some amazing tools that can help website owners track everything. From Google Adsense reporting to Google Analytic to Google Conversion and most recently Google Goal Tracking. Between all of those tools a website owner should know exactly what type of traffic is converting & making them money and what type of traffic is not. I even use Google PPC to estimate organic search engine traffic! Website owners would do well to follow your lead and create a base, and then test off that base in regards to advertising. Jeff
