Spotlight Article
Note from Online Marketing Director, Joshua Sloan: Building links to your
pages containing 1&1 affiliate links can and will help build traffic
and improve search engine rankings for these pages - more traffic equals
more clicks
on your 1&1 link, and this means more commissions. My favorite 2
link building ideas...the sites which link to your competition's site
may be
good to target for link requests, and if you can't be on the top 2 pages
of Google for a search term, it would be good to try and get a link
from
a page that is. ;-) The following Spotlight article will point you to
additional Do's and Don'ts and has much to say about the right way to
build incoming links to your site.
101 Ways to Build Link Popularity in 2006 Link Building... Time-intensive. Frustrating. Sometimes confusing. Yet Unavoidable. Because ultimately, it's still the trump card for higher rankings. Many of us have been hoping that it would go away. In Brett Tabke's 5/18 Robots.txt entry, he echoed a sentiment that many, many webmasters hold on to as a hope: What happens to all those Wavers that think Getting Links = SEO 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. The pertinent questions: 1. Will link building still be very important for rankings in the
medium term? The answers: 1. Sorry, but link building is still going to be the SEO trump card
for the foreseeable future. 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. But please, don't fool yourself. Links that should count are still the key to rankings (in Google, at least — and MSN and Yahoo! are only a few short years behind). In that spirit, Aaron and I have created our 101 Ways to Build (and Not Build) Links in 2006. (Yeah, it just so happened that there were exactly 101!) Oh, and mad props to our inspiration, 131 Legitimate Link Building Strategies, one of the original authority documents on link building. It was just getting a bit rusty, that's all ("Host your own Web Ring"?). Anyway, enjoy the update. It's guaranteed to be accurate until January 1, 2007. ;-) |
