Link Building secret

One of the most important aspects of SEO activities is Link Building. This activity is usually very expensive and time consuming. Search Engine Optimization has two distinct areas – on page and off- page optimization. Link building falls within off-page optimization. It refers to the process where other sites provide link to your site. While excellent links promote your ranking, poor linking or mistakes may doom your site.

Link Building In SEO

Here are some common mistakes of link building that you need to avoid:

Try to avoid links from pages where spiders can’t crawl. A link that appears legitimate may not function as a link. Such issue arises mainly due to link exchanges where you put a link to other site but the other site doesn’t do the same for you. Such links can’t be indexed by Google as robots.txt bans it. As such, it is necessary to verify, whether the pages where your links are placed, are accessible to spiders. You may seek help from the tool Search Engine Spider simulator for such verification.

Sites or pages that are cluttered with backlinks are not suitable for link building. If your website is linked with 100 other sites on a page then it is hardly effective. Sometimes most of these links are non-paid and many directories put them on “nofollow” attribute. If you are paying for the link you still suffer.

Make sure that you are not getting backlinks from irrelevant sites. If you are offering financial services then a link from health site may not be relevant. Finding relevant sites is a challenging job. However, if you are not offering niche services or products then there are many sites that can provide you with relevant and useful backlink. For providing suggestions to niche services, tools like Backlink Builder may come handy.

Link exchanges are one of the best white hat ways for building backlinks. However, there are incidences where dishonest webmasters cheat their clients. Make sure that the link you are paying for is not attributed as “nofollow” or it doesn’t disappear.

Anchor text of the backlink should contain keywords. If the anchor text contain something like “click here” then it is hardly useful. Even when the webmasters try to replace an image in place of keywords, make sure that the ALT text of the image link contain your keywords.

If you think that travel insurance coverage is costly, think about how much money you’ll have to fork out of your own pocket if you fall ill thousands of miles away.
