How to ensure your link building efforts have the desired effect

Link building is without doubt the most important element in any SEO Campaign. Google is an off-site search engine, this means it relies predominantly on what is often referred to as citations or votes that are casts by external websites in favour of a linked to site. These votes or citations act as a signal that the website being linked to is a reputable site with good content. The anchor text that is used to link to the site will also have a knock-on effect in increasing the relevance of the site to a range of its target terms.

The main thing to take into consideration when link building is that Google looks for a natural and diverse backlink profile when analysing the links that point into a website. This essentially means that the backlink profile of your website should appear as though it has been developed naturally and should include citations from multiple different sources as opposed to just links from one source across multiple pages. The best way to achieve this diversity is to consider using a collection of article directories during each submission round and vary the directories you submit to. It's also well worth diversifying the types of links that point to your website to include as many different forms as possible e.g. blogs, web directories, article directories, comments, social bookmarks etc.

Another important tip when building links to your website is to ensure that you vary your anchor text usage as much as is humanly possible. For example, you may want you website to appear in top spot for your main target term "Appliance Repairs". This particular keyword has a sizeable amount of search volume behind it and you feel as though you will be positioned to benefit from this term with a top position. In order to rank prominently for this term however it's important to build links around this term in a natural and progressive fashion rather than all at once and to include variations of the term in your link building e.g. "Broken Appliances", "Fix Appliances" etc.
