Link Building not just for Google
Category: Linking Strategies
It’s no secret that link building is vital for your Internet business, but not everybody knows why.
Before search engines came about, people could only find your website by knowing the URL of the site or getting the link from someone else. The term Web defines the use of links as just that, a intertwining connection of sites linked to one another.
Lets explore how links are used.
Types of Links Used for Building a Site
There are three basic types of links -
1. Internal
2. Outbound
3. Inbound (backlinks)
You control the first two, internal and outbound, the third you either get because someone finds you site very useful or you solicit them.
Since linking is well known to website owners and SEO professionals, the competition for links is fiercer than ever and even more so with quality links gained from highly popular websites.
Link building is no big secret and new services are emerging with better ways to get links. With the common site owner using these tactics more and more, it makes you wonder how Google will raise the bar to qualify these websites in the future.
The one thing Google doesn’t like is unnatural building. This is a pattern of loading up backlinks to your site in a short period of time. Easily detected, your website could be penalised reversing the goal you want to achieve. Link building is just that, a process of patients making connections with site owners and building relationships with them. Then one day you can talk about links, this is the old fashion way to do it. I’m sure good authoritative websites get hundreds of requests for links so just sending an email is not enough. You have to build a rapport and have a site worth linking to.
That’s why link building takes time, but is it just for Google’s sake? No way. Your visitors will appreciate the navigation too (whether the links are external or inbound). So there is a higher purpose than just satisfying Google, you can guide visitors to your site to places on or off your site they never would have otherwise found.
