There are many of different aspects to creating a solid search engine optimization plan. One piece to the puzzle that search engines evaluate when determining their rankings are the number of backlinks to a web site.
Backlinks are links from other web sites that point to your site and when properly implemented have a positive impact on your web sites rankings within search engines. To search engines there are good backlinks and bad backlinks. When your web site is linked to from credible web sites that share relevant information, search engines will reward you by increased exposure and improved search rankings. However if you have 8,000 links to your web site from sites like Ted's Link Farm, they may give you a demerit.
Some quick ways to get quality backlinks:
-
Viral Marketing or valuable tools and content- Create something that’s worthy of people creating links to you.
-
Editorial Trading - Exchange guest blog article writing duties with some of your business partners.
-
Online PR - Submit an online press release featuring your latest news to be picked up by credible news outlets like
Google News.
Remember search engines evaluate your web sites backlinks as if they are judging you on the friends that you keep – backlinks are about quality, not quantity.
