Seven Superb Linking Strategies To Boost Traffic
Stats
For all the seeming
“intelligence” displayed by its system, Google is still a machine.
This means that its every process is determined by an algorithm that, once
cracked, is susceptible to exploitation.
Googles’s current
algorithm (emphasis on “current,” more on that later) decides the
ranking of an indexed page based on the latter’s keyword density, quality
of content and the number of links that refer visitors to your site. In recent
years, people have tried to manipulate page content, but eventually, every
mechanical program that was invented to generate, rotate and fabricate content
ended up as utter to moderate failures.
Links, on the other hand, are
easier to machinate. There have been some proven methods that were designed by
webmasters the world over. These linking strategies have been able to generate
more visitors for the site as well as a higher ranking in search queries.
Currently (again, emphasis on “currently”), these techniques have yet
to fail.
Here’s a rundown of these powerful linking
strategies:
1. The trick is in acquiring inbound links from sites that
rank higher than yours. The three strategies included in this area will help
you be able to do such:
A. Find a well-visited forum. Enroll in a
membership, then start posting. Your signature box should include a link to
your site. Every time a visitor would view a thread where you posted, your link
would be displayed prominently.
B. Find a well-visited free articles
site. Write an article, and submit it to their database. Include a link to your
website in the allotted resource box. Every time a visitor would search for a
topic relevant to your article, your work will appear. Every time a visitor
will read your work, your link would be displayed prominently as well.
C. Do the suggestion above. But explicitly allow your readers to distribute
your article for as long as they retain the resource box. This is tantamount to
making your article viral, meaning, it has the potential of garnering more
inbound links at an exponential rate.
2. Look for a site that is
related to yours. Send the webmaster a testimonial about his products, if he is
selling any, or about the content of his site. As is usually the case, the
webmaster won’t be able to resist publishing your testimonial, and as
courtesy, would add a link to your site.
3. Look for high traffic
sites that sell products. Write reviews about them and post the same to your
site or blog. Send the webmasters a link to you reviews, and they’ll feel
a moral obligation to thank you with a link. This uses the same principle as
the previous strategy.
4. You could also try reciprocal linking, that
is, publishing another site’s link in exchange for that site publishing
yours. Do not do this often, however, as search engines frown on a large
quantity of “ping-pong” visitor exchanges.
5. There are many
free directory listings and free advertising sites out there which would
provide for easy one-way links. Subscribe to as many of these as you could
find.
6. Once your Page Rank (PR) increases, you could start trying
link membership sites. These are networks that require a token fee for access
to many websites that would allow your links to be displayed.
7.
Publish quality content. If you populate your site with definitive and original
information, you might not have to look for links anymore, as webmasters would
be knocking at your door asking if they could link their pages to your
site.
Now, we did mention the word “currently” during the
earlier parts of this article. This is because Google has recently patented a
link history tracking system that might enable it to spoil the party for some
of these linking strategies.
But that should be a tale for another
day, or a topic for another article to be more precise.
As of now,
these linking strategies work and they work well. So you might as well
capitalize on them as much as possible!
