You Need Inbound Links To Your Website
You Need Inbound Links To Your Website
Inbound links occur when some other (and hopefully relevant) website links their website to yours. It is important to note that this is not the same as reciprocal links/linking and we will discuss that in another article. Relevant inbound links from a highly regarded website can give your rankings a tremendous boost and, in fact, even your entire website. Let me share a personal story to underscore this.
For years, I have been giving away information as to resume enhancement and personal marketing. On one page of the website, I talked about interview bloopers. There was a writer on a very large website (that has the word About for the domain name) who stumbled across my website with a very obscure search for interview bloopers. In the article, the author mentioned my website and included a link to me. Shortly thereafter, my search engine rankings went through the roof, so to speak and now I get hundreds of hits a day from people looking for resume words, action resume words, etc. Try searching in Google for the phrase, resume words, you typically find me somewhere between page one and page four out of more than a 16.7 MILLION search results (look for the word, FacilitatorGuy and bgolden in the result text. This is simply outstanding.
So as you can see, having a quality inbound link can be worth its weight in gold. Having said that, however, you won’t get that kind of result all of the time and it can take a bit of work to get one of those quality inbound links. The concept is sound, regardless.
How can you get some inbound links? First, look for business on the web that offer complimentary services to yours and who maybe don’t care if you link to them or not. Ask these websites if they would mind linking to you, maybe even in exchange for some type of service or discount. Second, start writing some relevant articles and get them published in article directories. Your articles need to link back to you at some point. If the article directory is valued by search engines or, more importantly, if some big name website runs across your article and includes it in their website, you will have the inbound link you seek.
There is a really nice (and free) tool offered by Axandra – enter the phrase, “Link Popularity Check” in your search engine to find it. This will tool will list a variety of existing websites, some of which are giant-sized ones, and then you can add yours to the list. You will quickly get a feel for how many inbound links you have and how your number of inbound links stands up to the big boys.
Hopefully, this is enough information to get your creative wheels turning so you can increase the number of inbound links you have and improve your page rank results as well. Keep working at it and you will have success!
