Link Building



Link Building
Link building is one basic tool that helps search engine’s spiders to determine the ranking of the webpage. This strategy of search engine optimization is based on the principle of referential popularity of the link. By referential popularity we mean that as two websites exchange links with each other they generally tend to add up to the popularity of the links thus, incrementing the rankings of the link in search results.


Link building is of two types: Outbound linking: It emphasizes the exchange of links between two different websites.

Inbound linking: The intermingled linking of web pages within one website is generally referred to as inbound linking.

Generally, people tend to confuse between Link Building, Link Exchange, and Link Popularity:

Link building:
Linking of one page to another (not importantly an exchange)

Link exchange: Exchange of links between two Websites on the basis of mutual understanding.

Link popularity: It is one criterion that search engine spiders follow for awarding ranking. Link popularity is achieved through link building and link exchange.

Business is more or less like a strategic game and to win in this game you cannot afford to neglect your competitors and so, competitor analysis is a very important activity at every level.

So, while promoting your website we always suggest keeping an eye on your competitors every move apart from focusing on your optimization process. This should not just be while defining your marketing plan but also while conducting the plan as it will help in keeping your plan full proof. Through this kind of analysis you actually get to know their strengths, areas they lag, opportunities unaddressed and threats being faced and their solutions. So, it’s more of like “been there done that what next!” It proves to be the biggest advantage to your plan over your competitor’s efforts.

Press Release Optimization
Press Release, it is yet another innovative tool for internet marketing for the modern standards. In simple words a press release can be defined as an article stating the latest new and updates regarding an organization. These mainly contain contact information for the readers to get in contact with the particular organization being talked about. Press releases are often confused with the news stories written by journalists. But the two things are quite different from the motive point of view. A news story is written to inform people and not for marketing purposes whereas a press release is written by the members of the organization and are generally used for both the purposes marketing and reporting news.

In a way more the number of times your website is bookmarked it gets preference in search engine results. So, next time somebody bookmarks your website it means you get a step closer to top 10 rankings in search engines.

What is SEO?
SEO is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. Firms that practice SEO can vary; some havea highly specialized focus while others take a more broad and general approach. Optimizing a web site for search engines can require looking at so many unique elements that many practitioners of SEO (SEOs) consider themselves to be in the broad field of website optimization (since so many of those elements intertwine).
This guide is designed to describe all areas of SEO - from discovery of the terms and phrases that will generate traffic, to making a site search engine friendly to building the links and marketing the unique value of the site/organization's offerings.
Why does my company/organization/website need SEO?
The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines - Yahoo!, MSN, Google & AskJeeves (although AOL gets nearly 10% of searches, their engine is powered by Google's results). If your site cannot be found by search engines or your content cannot be put into their databases, you miss out on the incredible opportunities available to websites provided via search - people who want what you have visiting your site. Whether your site provides content, services, products or information, search engines are a primary method of navigation for almost all Internet users.
Search queries, the words that users type into the search box which contain terms and phrases best suited to your site carry extraordinary value. Experience has shown that search engine traffic can make (or break) an organization's success. Targeted visitors to a website can provide publicity, revenue and exposure like no other. Investing in SEO, whether through time or finances, can have an exceptional rate of return.

 
Why can't the search engines figure out my site without SEO help?
Search engines are always working towards improving their technology to crawl the web more deeply and return increasingly relevant results to users. However, there is and will always be a limit to how search engines can operate. Whereas the right moves can net you thousands of visitors and attention, the wrong moves can hide or bury your site deep in the search results where visibility is minimal. In addition to making content available to search engines, SEO can also help boost rankings, so that content that has been found will be placed where searchers will more readily see it. The online environment is becoming increasingly competitive and those companies who perform SEO will have a decided advantage in visitors and customers.
How much of this article do I need to read?
If you are serious about improving search traffic and are unfamiliar with SEO, I recommend reading this guide front-to-back. There's a printable MS Word version for those who'd prefer, and dozens of linked-to resources on other sites and pages that are worthy of your attention. Although this guide is long, I've attempted to remain faithful to Mr. Strunk's famous quote:
"A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts."
Every section and topic in this report is critical to understanding the best known and most effective practices of search engine optimization.
