subject: Improving Your Search Engine Rankings With Quality Backlinks [print this page] The level of competition online can be fierce, so that is just one reason to leverage your time properly and do it the best you can. There are some categories of links that are not worth quite as much as others, and many beginners end-up going with the low quality variety. You can prevent this catastrophe, because it is one, by learnig what you can from reputable sources as well as constructing a thorough roadmap that will get you where you want to go. Sure you can gain some traffic from the links themselves, but for the most part marketers only care about the backlink.
In the earlier days, people used to indulge into reciprocal linking or link exchange, but this practice is losing its charm because the search engines now prefer one way or one sided links instead. Given below are a some link building tips that are simple to apply but give great results.
Ok, either make one or outsource the creation of some useful tool that people will love to put up on their websites. You would be surprised at how cheaply you can have this done, and you can find people who will make one for you.
Then you just contact as many people about it as possible and let them know they can use it. The obvious purpose for this method is to create a large number of one-way links to your website. Another tip that you need to keep in mind is to get backlinks from only those site that help the search engines follow you. When you're analyzing backlinks, it's good to know that Google views some in terms of whether or not they pass more PR (page rank value) than others. There is hyperlink code that is called out either as "nofollow" or "dofollow," and that will either allow or not allow PR to pass. So if you are working on an SEO campaign, it's important for you to know the basic difference between a "no-follow" and a "do-follow" link. You will get some credit by Google for nofollow, plus you must look natural in your backlinking. If you want, you can use plugins with Mozilla browser to check for no/do follow, or you can find tools online that are free to use.
One other very effective way to get quality links to your site is through blogs in your niche. Most blogs allow you to leave comments as well as your link, and some will even welcome a guest post every now and then. Slow and steady, you can build an army of links coming back to your site from these blogs. The moral of this story is that backlinks are critical, so is learning, and you should not ever quit getting them. It's much easier to maintain your efforts and keep your rankings as opposed to losing rank and working twice as hard to get it back.
