How to build Higher Quality links - and more of them – and improve your PageRank and your traffic
Part 1 - Why a link-building program is the best way to increase your free traffic; and how to use new web services
Why building links is the best way to increase your free traffic
One of the best things you can do to build your site’s traffic is to build back links - that is links from other sites back to your own .
That’s because having more links has a double impact on your traffic – it both
* brings you traffic directly – and for free - when a visitor clicks on that link and
* improves your Search Engine ranking. This, in turn – and in time – will bring you more no cost Search Engine traffic
Would there be any exceptions?
Yes – Google does not count duplicate content. However, all the article submission sites make the articles on them available to be copied but only if they are copied unchanged. That means that your article could have a very wide distribution and bring you lots of traffic – but have little impact on your Search Engine ranking
In the same way there are some blog sites that accept outside contribution and have a good Search Engine ranking. If you submit an article to their site with your link, you may not get much traffic from that link but it will improve your PageRank
How can I build links for zero cost ?
You can build links for free
* by contributing your content onto other peoples’ websites
* by joining a Link Exchange program to exchange links with other sites
Posting your content onto other peoples’ websites
There are a number of other peoples’ websites that will not only accept your content – they need it.
* ezinearticles and similar websites – Just google “article submission sites” and you will get pages with lists of article submission sites. Articles are a great way to get lots of links very quickly. As articles are expected to be copied, you can use the same article over and over again without change. Google may not like it but the other search engines are not so fussy.
* Weblogs – Perhaps you think of web logsas your soapbox speech and diary made public on the net. That’s just one type of blog. Wikipedia has a great article that shows the others. For your Affiliate Marketing Business, you need to know that there are a number of blogs that will accept your contributions . Some of them have good Search Engine rankings so the link(s) from your posting on their site back to your site helps your PageRank .
* Squidoo - Squidoo aims to be the no 1 site for word-of-mouth recommendations on the web. When you sing up, you get a single page – or lens – with text recommendations and/or links to videos, online shopping , webpages, blogs, books, or anything else you want. It’s another way to get a link to your site from a high-traffic, high-ranking site
* Hubpages – this site is similar to Squidoo in its setup but the content is a cross between that and an article
* Wikidot – this site will you’re your online business a free, hosted wiki. The great thing about this is that it is collaborative – it is your change to get contributions from other people.
