Reciprocal links, quality and not quality

Posted on September 27, 2015 by Bob Sanderson

Link popularity can be a measure of how successful your website is by indicating the number of web owners who link your site to theirs. Professional web owners cannot link to your site if it is of low quality content, with nothing valuable to offer or does not conform to their status. To increase your website link building popularity, you should also endeavor to engage other external sites which are willing to reciprocate links with you in a professional and ethical way (Highly Suggested)!

They should be ranked either at your level or higher but not lower than you. They should be of good reputation and from a trusted source. Reciprocating links are not always the best but if you are able to get quality stuff then good for you, just go for it. This immensely improves on the quality of your site as well which in turn can bring in the huge numbers of visitors you have been dying to receive.

Do not however rule out all the lower ranked web pages until you ascertain that it is not just a portion of the site that is so adversely ranked. The rest of the webpages could be at par or better than yours. The poorly rated site could be as a result of malice by other web owners who they have reciprocated links with and are giving them a bad image.

In as much as you want good quality linkages to your site, these links should be having contents that are in line with what you do, add value to what you already have and probably targeting the same population for them to be invaluable and of course improve your website.

Avoid crowding your site with unnecessary links that do not add value to your website. Also to avoid are reciprocal partners who instead of helping build you actually try to destroy you by manipulating your links which are attached to their sites.

Having a big quantity of off shore materials yet the quality are poor only aggravates the problem and does not encourage visitors to your site. Be selective; set your bar high and only take what makes you look good, the contents should be search engine friendly and also user friendly.

It is better to have less but of high quality than too much quantity but of poor quality. Your visitors will appreciate being directed to sites that are meaningful and have accurate information in addition to practicing best internet practice.

It is highly suggested that you hire a link building company that actually provides you one way, natural and organic fresh links using brand new and compelling content.

Internet, just like the market; needs customers – visitors to increase your revenues. But how do you increase the number of visitors to visit your website? Without having targeted traffic to your website, you will not be able to sell your services and products. There are many ways that you can increase your traffic some of which are listed below;

Google Adwords - Google Adwords are known to be an effective advertising tool that can drive traffic to your website. But it needs financial muscle, which of course you can get returns on investment. By using relevant keywords on advertisement that will appear on websites displaying relative content, you will have traffic driven to your website. Every time a user clicks on the advertisement, you pay for the click which can become relatively expensive to some people.

Web page Optimization - It is a cheaper way of driving traffic to your website by using keywords intelligently placed on Meta tags on your website. You can also have the keywords placed on the first paragraphs of your webpages and the last paragraphs. It is a sure way of increasing traffic to your website. You can also increase traffic to your website by using external links that direct visitors to your website. This can be achieved through directory submission or building one way links to your website.

Low Budget Online Marketing Techniques – This is a tried and tested low cost marketing technique. They include having an opt-in form that visitors can sign in and receive regular newsletters and other promotions or use referrals where your visitors can refer other people to your website. This is done by having the visitors “email a friend”. You can also develop an affiliate program and get your visitors sell your products in exchange for a commission.

Directory submission – Other methods of increasing traffic to your website is through directory submission. There are many directories offering free submissions of articles and contents to their site. One of the popular directories is DMOZ. Though it might take a while before your website get listed on the site, it is worth trying as it is a free and effective way of driving traffic to your site.

These are but just a few of the many ways you can increase traffic to your site and generate revenue. But it needs commitment and patience to be successful, if you have a budget for it, then you can use paid online advertising tools like Google Adwords, AdSense or social media sites like Facebook to advertise your site.

Reciprocal Link Building

Posted on September 26, 2015 by Bob Sanderson

Reciprocal linking can be said to be networking within the World Wide Web. The web owners link their sites to other web owners’ sites thus creating a mesh. How can reciprocal linking be ranked in terms of success? Unfortunately, the answer is not highly. This form of linking has created lots of hues and cries from users who feel they are not adding a lot of value.

Not only are we receiving unsolicited mails (spams) but lots of pop-ups posted as links on the websites which does not ease the problem. The worst are links that can hardly be closed or moved. They appear in the middle of the text yet they direct you to a site that has no relation to what you are reading or searching for whatsoever. They are time wasters and actually reduce the effectiveness of the site you are interested in.

If you are like me, you close the site and move on to another hoping that you will find a site addressing what you are looking for and is also clear of the unnecessary links or pop-ups. And that is how not to lose a visitor or potential client especially if your main purpose was to increase traffic to your website!

All is not lost though, because on the flip side the reciprocal link building gives visitors an opportunity to navigate through other sites that they would normally not have known about or taken time to peruse. If properly used, this kind of linkage can be a source of traffic to the various sites.

They only have to be done in a more efficient and effective manner that does not arm twist visitors to use them but have them as an offer to a treat which can in turn entice visitors to your site. You should have links of highly rated or requested articles, which give the visitors answers to their questions, information on how to do things and general information that sit well with your target group, on your site or other web owner’s sites.

You can also engage in discussion forums that relate to your niche and comment on alerts leaving your links in search sites and not forgetting to make use of the resource links. This is helpful as a source of reciprocal linking but with a purpose and actually the users will appreciate this as opposed to being bombarded with spams.

I personally do not suggest link exchange, never did since my 11 years career. And I always suggest going for organic fresh useful links, they may come from trusted and respected web directories, articles and press release sites, social bookmarking and social sites that include, Twitter, Facebook and Google+, I personally also use, web 2.0 and 3.0 links, links from forum discussions by opening a thread and asking your question or simply replying to a question and leaving good hints and foot prints and then leaving a link in signatures, commenting on trusted and high traffic blogs, classifieds, and so on and so on

How to Win Links & Influence Search Engines

Posted on September 20, 2015 by Bob Sanderson

We all want our websites to rank on top 10 search engines. Unfortunately it is not that easy, if it was then the top 10 rankings would be a crowded field! For now to appear within the top of the rankings you would have to work a little bit harder. There are several ways that you can try to build your links to appear on to top rankings. Below are just but a few ways;

Reciprocal Link Building

The most important ways to make reciprocal link building a success are:-

Make your site relevant – People who visit your site should find the site to be interesting. This will ensure repeat visitors and enhance traffic to your site

Page Rankings – Make sure your page is high on search engines ranking. This will mean building less links.

Create links within the content – Such links are given more priority than ones created through directory style links

Number of links per page and positioning – It is more valuable for your link to appear at the top of the page with less links than at the bottom with many links.

How your link building is done – Ensure that your links are related to your website content. This will drive more visitors to your site.

Non-Reciprocal Link Building

Some of the ways non reciprocal link building is done include and is not limited to:- Directory submissions – Submitting your site to directories is the most effective way to build your link. Use popular directories e.g. Yahoo or DMOZ. Some offer free service e.g. DMOZ but are equally effective.

Articles – Write article for blogs, web content, newsletters etc. and you will see traffic flow into your website. Some of the benefits in using articles in link building are;

- The topic that you write about and the link on your site will be directly related hence driving traffic to your site

- You can link your article to more than one site hence enhancing your traffic flow and link build to many sites

- The link will be non-reciprocal -

Quality content – It is important that the content you provide interest the readers. Some people might link to your site simply because they found useful information on your site. That’s why thousands of sites link to Wikipedia hence driving heavy traffic to Wikipedia. Assuming you have a site like Wikipedia then you will be a successful internet blogger!

To successfully influence the search engines and improve your search engine rankings, you would want to use more than one method of link building.
