Increasing traffic with backlinks

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Whether your website is old or new, backlinks can play a major part in its success. When it comes to analysing their site using tools such as Google Analytics, many site owners become disheartened when they see that visitors numbers aren’t as high as they’d like.

However, with a little time, though and effort, rectifying this situation is extremely easy- especially when you concentrate on building and improving backlinks.

It goes without saying that you’ll want relevant banklinks which will result in return visits, so as tempting as it may be, don’t just opt for unrelated links which are easy to build- concentrate on quality.

Make sure your site is up to scratch when you build backlinks

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Backlinks are a great way of propelling your site to the dizzy heights of the Google search results, although it goes without saying that it isn’t the quickest or easiest of tasks.

However, before working on implementing a decent backlinking strategy, you do need to ensure that your site is fit for purpose.

Even though you might gain more visitors through your backlinking campaign, they’ll be clicking on the ‘back’ button on their browser in seconds if your site is difficult to navigate, full of useless or outdated content, or poorly designed.

So don’t rush your backlinking campaign- make sure the basics are in place first.

Spend time on quality link building

Many people complain about a lack of links- even when they know that they haven’t spent adequate time building them.

Links don’t just magically appear overnight, and you need to set time aside to to build quality links which will provide results.

Simply spending half an hour here and there building links which have no relevance to your site will almost definitely not help your rankings, so make an effort to allocate sufficient time to enhancing your site with links which will benefit you in the long term.

Don’t think that you can get away with half-hearted link building- you can’t.

Bing stress Quality over Quantity

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The major search engines have stressed over and over again about the importance of good quality links over a good quantity of links.

This is very important to rank high in the search engines – especially the big three – Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Although they do not say the quantity does not benefit at all and try and move aware from this. I am quite confident that having many low quality links as well as high quality ones is very important to rank high. This said, Link farms are a no no. Don’t submit your site to them as these can get you penalised in the search engins.

All the major Search Engines take backlinks into account

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Many people are under the impression that only Google places relevance on backlinks whereas the other search engines such as Yahoo and Bing do not. This, as many of you will be aware is not true and all the three major search engines take backlinks into account.

However there is a difference between the search engines.

Google is known to place a lot more relevence on backlinks where as Bing is a little less and Yahoo are different.

Could this be the Key as to why Google is top of the list for search engines? Nah, I don’t think so because Bing is catching up quick, very quick!
