Can link building help my business

WebPhoenix55 · May 6th, 2008, 04:31

Does anybody have an idea about link building importance....

LinksKing · May 6th, 2008, 06:50

As Far As theoretical knowledge is concerned I have a little bit knowledge of it but I don't have any practical knowledge.

MarketingScoope · May 6th, 2008, 06:54

I don't think that Link Building has any importance because I have heard about spamming and all..

Well...according to me, link building is one of the cornerstones of any effective search engine optimization campaigns. strong link building campaign, along with a strongly optimized website, is enough to make it rank high on major search engines.

Link building is the single most important aspect of SEO. If you could only do one thing to help your business online, that should be link building (assuming u have a decent and functional website).

I agree with Spinal007 and I too strongly believe that Link Building helps increase your rankings.
But picking up random links from non relevant pages wont help you in any way.

You should go for links from highly relevant article pages. In doing so, not only your rankings would improve, but you get the targetted audience that you are looking for. I got link building done for my website from www.Bestlinksdeals.com. They focus on highly relevant article pages. Also, I let them handle my banner campaign. Links and banners from these highly relevent article pages really helped my site in the long run.

Major search engines place weight on quality relevant links, which is a good practice for Internet marketing strategy. One good quality, highly focused link is atleast 20 times better than a general link which is not considered a useful link by the search engines.

The pepper gun effect of numerous links but hardly any traffic is probably one of the "flags" that google looks for when deciding how to rank your page but unless you work for google, the above is pure conjecture.

what you can be sure of is that links from realting articles will drive more relevant traffic to your site, increasing the possibility of repeat visitors (as you already know they are interested in the subject and not just "stumbling" across your site).

This in turn shows search engines that you are more popular, and as such will effect you rankings.

Obviously, Quality and Relevancy is key - but "20 times better" is just a made-up number!
The tru number is probably in the thousands...

I just wanted to put forth the point that a relevant link is better than any number of non relevant links. Tens of thousands times better than a non relevant link.

But is there any criteria by which we can define that a link is a quality link? What could be the parameters to decide the quality links?

Yes there are a few criterion to see if the links are of good quality or not. Below is a list which defines the quality parameters of a good link:

'Unidirectional' or only-Incoming (non-reciprocal) links
Links with relevant "Keywords" in the Anchor Text
Links from sites having a different range of PageRank
Links from industry-relevant pages
Link to your site should not be through a "redirect" script
No JavaScript links
No links from 'framed' pages
No 'flash' embedded links
No robots.txt excluded link pages
No Robots Tag excluded link pages
No paid or time-bound links
Links spread over different domains
No email spam used to solicit links
No links from Link Farms
No links from FFA (Free-For-All) link networks
No links from Blogs and Blogspots
No links from pornographic and other sites containing offensive content
Links pace as per client convenience
Links from different IP address
Links from pages with less than 30 links

If done in a proper way with quality links, then link building can improve your rankings on search engines. Links from highly relevant article pages (Same theme as your website) improves your business because it gets targeted traffic to your website.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim.

If you want to get links from highly relevant article pages, try www.Bestlinksdeals.com. They focus on highly relevant article pages. I am sure getting relevant links will help you in the long run. Let me know if you need any other info...

Yes this is important. If you use google webmaster tools, you will see that it contains a section on internal / external links to your site. The spiders recognise the links back to your site, networking, giving you greater importance / a better chance of ranking higher in google.
