Improving Link Popularity In 2008

Links are one kind of off-page criteria that measures human reaction to your content.

An effective linking strategy will not only please your visitors, it is very pleasing to the search engines.

The more sites linking to you and the more important these linking sites are, and the closer the websites are to the theme of your website, the more popularity the search engines award to your website-webpage.

Search engines consider the number of inpointing links to a website as a way to...

1. Establish Credibility...

An in-pointing link from quality websites is like receiving a vote. The webmaster thinks highly enough of your website to link to you.

Don't manipulate the search engines by getting links from sites that are not related to your theme. This is an artificial way to increase your link popularity and search engines frown highly on this. Just Don't Do It!

2. Formulate Ranking Algorithms...

More often than not today, search engines are factoring link popularity and link credibility(i.e. where in-pointing links are coming from) into their rank algorithms. This is a good reason not tweaking your webpages (on-page optimization). Leave them alone for now.

Remember this, it only takes a few quality, credible, and theme based in-pointing links to make this work.

There are some out there that believe these links will bring in groves of traffic, there is nothing further from the truth. You will get a trickle of traffic from time to time but not enough to pay the bills. These links are for the search engines to determine credibility.

Below are a few ideas to get your link program rocking along...

1. Get incoming links from the major directories and the second tier directories also.

2. Get incoming links from theme-specific sections of free major directories.

3. Participate in "value exchange". This is the most simplest, fastest, most efficient, and the most natural way to find high value websites that want to link back to you. These are what search engines are looking for... Relevant Sites, Linking to Relevant Sites.

Oh yea, did I mention this service is absolutly free? Yes, I Said Free, no charge for the best link exchange program on the internet.

4. Outbound links with quality theme related non-competing websites. You will find many great sites during your surfing venture on the web.

One thing to remember... Nothing can be more damaging to you than linking to inferior websites. Low quality, non-credible websites can do you in, in a quick fashion.

Your visitors will see through this and click away and never return. Search engines also will not take a positive reflection of these practices. Getting banned by search engines is also a possibility. Just stay away from low quality and inferior website.

I'm sure following these steps will make life much easier when it comes to link strategies and link popularity.
