subject: The Most Effective Methods To Use When Setting Up Links [print this page] Generating traffic to your site from the search engines can be broken down in to two sections. Both elements we are speaking about are both -n page and off-page website optimization. In this posting we are going to be talking about off page optimization, which can be just as important as on page optimization.
This is the way you can get the attention of the search engines by performing things that are not linked directly to your on-page optimization. And the only thing off page optimization truly has to do with is building links that point to your site. And I am certain you are aware that building links can be done using different techniques. In the following paragraphs we will be addressing the top two ways for you to construct backlinks to your website.
Some of you may or may not have heard about website directories, but this is the first approach we are going to talk about. For those of you who are unaware a website directory is virtually the same thing as a search engine, however if you would like to get your site listed in the directories you will need to submit your website to them. This is a great way to build good quality one way links to your site from high authority sites. You may not realize this but there are website directories on the Internet that actually have a page rank of 8, meaning, that would be an amazing link to get. It is not only about the page rank though mainly because you will also be judged on how many links in total you have, so be sure to submit to each and every directory.
Another link building process that's quite popular is article marketing. Article marketing is another great way to construct good quality links. You will also discover that some of these article directories also provide good page rankings. Most of the very popular article directories have a page rank of 5 and above. Links within articles are more potent than website directory links and when you get your articles published in an article directory with a page rank of 5 these links will possess a lot more power. And if you continue to submit a minimum of one article every day to a bunch of article directories you will find that your page rank of your site is also rising. If you want to find out all about article marketing you'll be able to find manuals on the Internet, so we will not be covering the exact approach to article marketing.
Another thing you won't normally want to do is to work with a software that promises to get you a huge number of links instantly. Nearly all of those softwares use spammy methods that could actually wind up damaging your site. With that being said you will be able to find softwares that can help you to submit your website to directories and help submit your articles to article directories. These softwares are really helpful for people who don't have a lot of time on their hands to allow them to get more work done in less time. Leaving you more hours to develop new sites or products and services.
