Concerning Link-Building SEO

By Nannette Schwertner


There are two main purposes link-building SEO or Search Engine Optimization focuses on, first is to increase traffic to a website and second is to improve the website's ranking in search engines. A higher rank in the search engine is basically a result of numerous incoming backlinks that a website can have. But do not just focus on the quantity of the incoming links since the quality of the incoming links are more favored. No matter how many dozens of backlinks you have if all are weak then the value of one or two strong valuable links would still be more. Most often, Google and other search engines always place a higher rank to those websites with a lot of strong incoming links and they are more important compared to those other websites. So what would determine its value then? Here are some factors.

1) You must then make it a point to gain an effective link building campaign. Personally, out of the many years of experience in attracting links, I have come up five easy link building strategies that surely will lead to a higher page ranking and a larger volume of web traffic.

2) Page authority as a factor. If Google considers most of your backlinks from websites and web pages of value, then it is better than having backlinks from websites and web pages which Google does not recognized. Let us say your website has an incoming link from nasa.gov, then this backlink is more valuable than a backlink from billspetshop.com. 3) Consider the number of other links. When your link is the only link on a certain web page then it will have much more value rather than a link on a web page having dozens of other links. For an easy understanding then put it in numerical terms. Let us give the page a weight of 100. When this page has one link only, then it will earn the whole 100% value. But if the page has 20 other links then the value of one link will only be 5%.

4) Domain age value.There is an influence the domain age the backlink is coming from can have with the value. Those older established websites are more trusted by search engines like Google rather than those new websites.

5) Usefulness. If you keep backlinks to be related then there will be more value. Say for example backlinks coming from a web page about scrap booking, when these backlinks lead to another site about scrap booking more value is awarded to it rather than leading it to a website about exotic cars. Google would always weigh the value of all incoming links to a certain website. You see link building SEO is really all about building links that work together like a concert around a common relevant and related theme.
