What is Code to Text Ratio?

2011-12-07T03:58:00.001-08:00

Code to Text Ratio

The Code to Text Ratio calculates the percentage of actual text in a web page. Content ratio tool extracts the text from paragraphs and the anchor text from HTML code and calculates the Code to Text Ratio based on this information.

Why Code to Text Ratio Important for SEO?

Code to text ratio is used by search engines to check the relevancy of a web page. Higher Code to Text Ratio is good for ranking purpose.

An Example to calculate code to text ratio percentage of a web page is given below:

Web Page Size :
17481 Bytes = 17 KB

Code Size :
13692 Bytes = 13 KB

Text Size :
3789 Bytes = 4 KB

Code to Text Ratio = Text Size/Web Page Size*100

Code to Text Ratio = 3789/17481*100 = 21.67%

New Google Update March 2011

2011-03-18T02:01:00.000-07:00

New: Google Lets You Block Any Site From Search Results

Google announced you can now hide or block certain sites from showing up in the Google search results.

When you do a search in Google, the search results will show a new link near the “Cache” link when you click a result and then return to Google. The link that Google adds to the search results reads “Block all example.com results.” Clicking on that will allow you to block the site from showing up in the Google results.

If you are not logged in, Google will immediately block the result and confirm they did so. But if you want the site to remain blocked on future searches, you have to login and confirm the block request.

At the bottom of the search results it will show you that there are blocked sites. It will let you show the blocked results or manage your blocked sites.

Here is the confirmation page:

Here is the manage block page:

You can access this page under your “Search Settings.”

Google said:

We’re adding this feature because we believe giving you control over the results you find will provide an even more personalized and enjoyable experience on Google. In addition, while we’re not currently using the domains people block as a signal in ranking, we’ll look at the data and see whether it would be useful as we continue to evaluate and improve our search results in the future. The new feature is rolling out today and tomorrow on Google.com in English for people using Chrome 9+, IE8+ and Firefox 3.5+, and we’ll be expanding to new regions, languages and browsers soon. We hope you find it useful, and we’ll be listening closely to your suggestions.

Google update cracks down on duplicate content

2011-02-15T02:00:00.000-08:00

Those within the SEO industry have known for some time that duplicate content is a big no-no with the search engines, especially Google. However, despite the lectures and best practices slamming the use of duplicate content, scraper sites and plagiarised web copy, sites that steal content still managed to slip through the cracks in Google’s algorithm and rank within its pages.

This caused much ire with Google, and with many website owners and SEO experts who played by Google’s rules. Google (as ever) has been busy working behind the scenes to stamp out this most heinous threat to the purity of its SERPs. In the last big Google Algorithm update in January Google has worked tirelessly to deal with the issue of duplicate content and content scraper sites, ensuring its index is free of spam and thievery.

In Google’s January update, the search engine has put in place more measures to drive spam content sites from its pages, rewarding those sites with unique, quality content.

Matt Cutts, Google’s head of anti-spam, commented about the update:

“[I mentioned] that ‘we’re evaluating multiple changes that should help drive spam levels even lower, including one change that primarily affects sites that copy others’ content and sites with low levels of original content.”

“That change was approved at our weekly quality launch meeting last Thursday and launched earlier this week.”

“This was a pretty targeted launch: slightly over 2% of queries change in some way, but less than half a percent of search results change enough that someone might really notice.”

“The net effect is that searchers are more likely to see the sites that wrote the original content rather than a site that scraped or copied the original site’s content.”

Google is talking tough, but what exactly will be affected by this change, and how can you avoid being adversely affected by the ‘Google Content Update’?

Firstly, if your website utilises content from other sites, meaning that you aggregate content in some way to your site (such as with the use of an RSS feed) then your site can be seen as a scraper site, or content farm. None of your content is your own, therefore is of new use to Google in terms of offering it to its users.

Secondly, if your website uses content that is very low in quality, and very high in quantity, in a bid to increase the size of your website and the number of keywords that your site ranks for, you could also be in trouble with this new update. Some websites use content in this way, and receive their content from offshore companies using non-native speakers because of the lower cost implications – regardless of the quality.

The way to protect yourself, and your website, against the Content Update (snappy eh?) is to ensure that any content added to your website is of a high quality and relevance to your site, and your industry, and that it is unique.

For Google to trust a website enough to rank it highly in the SERPs it needs to have unique, relevant content, and to feature strong backlinks. All of this can be achieved through ethical SEO.

Google accuses Bing of 'copying' its search results

2011-02-03T03:05:00.001-08:00

Google accused of criminal intent over StreetView data

Google is "almost certain" to face prosecution for collecting data from unsecured wi-fi networks, according to Privacy International (PI).

The search giant has been under scrutiny for collecting wi-fi data as part of its StreetView project.

Google has released an independent audit of the rogue code, which it has claimed was included in the StreetView software by mistake.

But PI is convinced the audit proves "criminal intent".

"The independent audit of the Google system shows that the system used for the wi-fi collection intentionally separated out unencrypted content (payload data) of communications and systematically wrote this data to hard drives. This is equivalent to placing a hard tap and a digital recorder onto a phone wire without consent or authorisation," said PI in a statement.

This would put Google at odds with the interception laws of the 30 countries that the system was used in, it added.

Scotland Yard

"The Germans are almost certain to prosecute. Because there was intent, they have no choice but to prosecute," said Simon Davies, head of PI.

In the UK the ICO has said it is reviewing the audit but that for the time being it had no plans to pursue the matter.

PI however does intend to take the case to the police.

“Start Quote

The idea that this was a work of a lone engineer doesn't add up”

End Quote Simon Davies Privacy International

"I don't see any alternative but for us to go to Scotland Yard," said Mr Davies.

The revelation that Google had collected such data led the German Information Commissioner to demand it handed over a hard-disk so it could examine exactly what it had collected.

It has not yet received the data and has extended the original deadline for it to be handed over.

The Australian police have also been ordered to investigate Google for possible breach of privacy.

'Systematic failure'

According to Google, the code which allowed data to be collected was part of an experimental wi-fi project undertaken by an unnamed engineer to improve location-based services and was never intended to be incorporated in the software for StreetView.

"As we have said before, this was a mistake. The report today confirms that Google did indeed collect and store payload data from unencrypted wi-fi networks, but not from networks that were encrypted. We are continuing to work with the relevant authorities to respond to their questions and concerns," said a Google spokesman.

"This was a failure of communication between and within teams," he added.

But PI disputes this explanation.

"The idea that this was a work of a lone engineer doesn't add up. This is complex code and it must have been given a budget and been overseen. Google has asserted that all its projects are rigorously checked," said Mr Davies.

"It goes to the heart of a systematic failure of management and of duty of care," he added.

Facebook Statistics, Stats & Facts for 2011... Did you know 1 in every 13 people on earth uses Facebook?

Google and Bing have announced that links shared

2011-01-19T04:05:00.000-08:00

Both Bing and Google have confirmed (via an excellent interview by Danny Sullivan) that links shared through Twitter and Facebook have a direct impact on rankings (in addition to the positive second-order effects they may have on the link graph). This has long been suspected by SEOs (in fact, many of us posited it was happening as of November of last year following Google + Bing’s announcements of partnerships with Twitter), but getting this official confirmation is a substantive step forward.

In addition to that revelation, another piece of critical data came via yesterday’s announcement:

Danny Sullivan: If an article is retweeted or referenced much in Twitter, do you count that as a signal outside of finding any non-nofollowed links that may naturally result from it?

Bing: We do look at the social authority of a user. We look at how many people you follow, how many follow you, and this can add a little weight to a listing in regular search results. It carries much more weight in Bing Social Search, where tweets from more authoritative people will flow to the top when best match relevancy is used.

Google: Yes, we do use it as a signal. It is used as a signal in our organic and news rankings. We also use it to enhance our news universal by marking how many people shared an article.

Danny Sullivan: Do you try to calculate the authority of someone who tweets that might be assigned to their Twitter page. Do you try to “know,” if you will, who they are?

Bing: Yes. We do calculate the authority of someone who tweets. For known public figures or publishers, we do associate them with who they are. (For example, query for Danny Sullivan)

Google: Yes we do compute and use author quality. We don’t know who anyone is in real life

Danny Sullivan: Do you calculate whether a link should carry more weight depending on the person who tweets it?

Bing: Yes.

Google: Yes we do use this as a signal, especially in the “Top links” section [of Google Realtime Search]. Author authority is independent of PageRank, but it is currently only used in limited situations in ordinary web search.

We now know that those link sharing activities on Twitter + Facebook are evaluated based on the person/entity sharing them through a score Google calls “Author Authority,” and Bing calls “Social Authority.”

We can probably predict a lot of the signals the search engines care about when it comes to social sharing; some of my guesses include:

Diversity of Sources – having 50 tweets of a link from one account, like having 50 links from one site, is not nearly as valuable as 50 tweets from 50 unique accounts.

Timing – sharing that occurs when an RSS feed first publishes a story may be valuable in QDF, but tweets/shares of older pieces could be seen as more indicative of lasting value and interest (rather than just sharing what’s new).

Surrounding Content – the message(s) accompanying the link may give the engines substantive information about their potential relevance and topic; it could even fill the gap that’s left by the lack of anchor text, particularly on Twitter.

Engagement Level – the quantity of clicks, retweets, likes, etc. (if/when measurable) could certainly impact how much weight is given to the link.

We can probably also take a stab at some of the signals Google + Bing use for Author/Social Authority in the context of the sharing/tweeting source:

Quantity of Friends/Followers – like links, it’s likely the case that more is better, though there will likely be caveats; low quality bots and inauthentic accounts are likely to be filtered (and may be much easier to spot than spammy links, due to the challenge they find in getting any “legitimate” friends/followers).

Importance of Friends/Followers – the friends/followers you have, like the link sources you have, are also probably playing a role. Earn high “authority” followers and you yourself must be a high authority person.

Analysis of Friends/Followers Ratios – Much like the engines’ analysis of the editorial nature of links, consideration of whether a social user is engaging in following/follower behavior purely out of reciprocity vs. true interest and engagement may be part of authority scoring. If you have 100K followers and follow 99K of them, but the engagement between you and your followers is slim, you’re likely not as authoritative as an account with 100K followers + 5K following, but those followers are constantly engaged, retweeting, liking, sharing, etc.

Topic Focus / Relevance – The consistency or patterns between your sharing behaviors could also be a consideration, using topic analysis, patterns in the sources of shared/tweeted links, etc. Being an “authority” could even be subject-specific, such that when a prominent SEO tweets links to celebrity news it has less of an impact than when they tweet links to a web marketing resource.

Association Bias – I suspect Google and Bing do a good job of associating social authors with the sites/domains they’re “part of” vs. independent from. Sometimes, this might be as easy as looking at the URL associated with the account, other times it could be based on patterns like where you most often tweet/share links to or whether your account is listed on pages from that site. Basically, if @randfish tweets links to *.seomoz.org, that probably means less than when I tweet links to bitlynews or when someone outside the company tweets links to SEOmoz.

These signals represent my opinions only, and while it’s very likely that at least some are being used, it’s even more likely that there are many more that aren’t listed above. Over time, hopefully we’ll discover more about the impact of social sharing on web rankings and how we can best combine SEO + social media marketing.

To me, the most exciting part about this is the potential to reduce webspam and return to a more purely editorial model. While people often link to, read and enjoy sources that link out manipulatively, very few of us will be likely to follow a Twitter account, friend someone on Facebook, or “like” something in a social site that’s inauthentic, manipulative or spammy. The social graph isn’t necessarily cleaner, but the complexity of spam is far lower.

Here’s to the evolution of organic marketing – search, social, content, blogs, links – it’s all coming together faster than ever before, and that’s a very good thing for holisticly minded web marketers.

Google SEO Update November 2010 :Google Instant Preview

2010-11-15T22:43:00.000-08:00

Many of us have already noticed the new Google Instant Preview feature on Google search engine results page.
Its a simple addition to the Google Instant makeover, where you get to see the preview of a website, while hovering the mouse over a search result.

It is the next step in bringing value to Google’s “Instant” game where the search engine result page forms the dashboard to a lot of things that would’ve otherwise been available only with two or three clicks. Users can now get more clarity on the search results, and make a decision on which page to visit with with all possible data including thumbnails, snippets etc.

So what is the impact on traffic ?

Would this mean that people will get more selective and avoid clicking on “possible matches” and only zero in on the right website ? Or would it not make any difference at all ?
I’m inclined to believe that it will affect only those users who’re very selective about clicking on search engine results. For the bigger chunk of users, its an addition, but not necessarily a filter that will keep them away from clicking on more results. What do you think ?

Google Instant Impact on SEO

2010-10-09T04:42:00.000-07:00

What is Google Instant :

Google Instant is the latest Google search technique to improve the search experience of Google Search Engine users by showing instant search results dynamically as the Google user types keywords. If you want to search for “World News Events”, when you type “World” results in Google are fetched faster than ever before for that single word keyword, completing the “News” part of your search, shows new search results for “World News”, and finally completing “World News Events” will show new results from the entire search phrase that the user typed.

Google Instant Impact on Impressions

Google instant impact on impressions is major. Showing many search results for a fragmented search phrase will introduce new impressions criteria for your website. There are two new ways to count as impressions for your website:

Classical Google Search Impressions : The old way of Google search impressions is by searching for a keyword then clicking search or one of the auto complete keywords list. If your website shows up in the results it will get an impression count.

Partial Keyword Typing Results : When a Google Search Engine User types a partial keyword from a phrase like “World News” then clicks one of the results while having your website listed in the results that the user sees, this will also count as a website impression for your website.

Pausing Search Results while typing the Keyword Phrase : If the Google Search Engine User types a partial keyword and pauses the results for 3 seconds, given that your website shows up with the search results, and the user does not make a click, Google will take that into account as a measuring factor of website impressions.

Google Instant Impact on SEO

From the above information Google Instant Impact on SEO is also major. Google Instant impact on SEO can be categorized into Website Impressions, Website Click Through Rate, and Meta Tags Optimization. To better cover the Google Instant impact on SEO we will break down those categories one by one :

Website Impressions : With Google instant website impressions will be increased for your website introducing Partial Keyword Typing Results and Pausing Search Results will allow more website impressions in search results by showing dynamic search results while typing partial keywords and complete keyword phrases as well as pausing search results while typing for Google Search Engine users.

Website Click Through Rate : The impact of Google Instant on website click through rate is summed up in having a lower click through rate since website impressions is increased. This is a negative impact on SEO for Google Instant.

Meta Tags Optimization Impact : Google Instant will impact long tail targeted keywords in the sense that Google Search Engine will offer its users dynamic search results on short tail keywords first reducing the possibility for the user to continue searching and increasing the likely hood of clicking on a Google Result before completing the long tail keyword. This means you need to optimize your meta tags for long term and short term keywords as well. read below.

Optimize Website for Google Instant

To optimize website for Google Instant there are some steps that you need to have in mind while optimizing a website for Google Search Engine :

Optimize for Short Tail and Long Tail Keywords : Whenever you want to write meta tags (title and description) for a webpage content make sure that you add short tail keywords and long tail keywords in the title and description as well as the content of your webpage. Targeting short tail and long tail keywords will increase your website impressions throughout the Google Search Process increasing your chances of getting a click for your website.

Appealing Title and Description tags :Google Instant enforces the need to have an appealing title and description tags to catch the Google Search Engine User’s eye while typing their keyword phrase. Having an appealing title tag with an appealing description will increase the website click through rate dramatically neutralizing the increase in website impressions from Google Index.

Conclusion for Google Instant Impact on SEO

Conclusion :Google Instant impact on SEO should be utilized to your website advantage by optimizing short tail keywords and long tail keywords as well as writing appealling titles and descriptions with high quality optimized website content.

How does Google calculate the Page Rank of your webpage?

2010-10-07T03:25:00.000-07:00

Every incoming link to your website is a vote for your website according to Google. As many as quality links you get to your website, the chances of increasing Page Rank are more... Only quality links can do this task. Getting one or two quality link per day or 30 to 50 quality links in a month are enough to rank higher and increasing your website Page Rank. As many as quality links you get to your website, your website gets popular and Search Engines will rely in your website as well.

However, Google does not calculate Page Rank of any webpage on the pure count of incoming links to your website. Google robots also analyze the page your link resides on. Link on a page similar to your targeted keyword name is more important to get higher Page Rank and search engine rankings. Google gives higher importance to your webpage if you are doing like that. So, mind this when you are thinking of doing one way link building or reciprocal link building for your website.

At the time of analyzing any linking page, Google looks at the following on page and off page factors:

• Page Rank of linking page
• Link from related website
• Number of outgoing links on that page you are linking to. Do not link to pages having more than 50 links.
• The quality of inbound links directed at the website of the outbound link

So, the quality and quantity both matters in the Google algorithm while calculating Page Rank of any webpage. Keep this in mind while hiring any link building services provider.

Why rel=”nofollow” link tag is used?

2010-02-08T21:23:00.000-08:00

I am back with new topic on rel=”nofollow” link tag. Most of the people don’t know why nofollow tag is used but who know having a little information about it. You can find many explanations online on nofollow tag. Here is one from Wikipedia:

“nofollow tag is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring.”

Major search engines except Google ignore this tag. However, do you think this is the only reason to use nofollow tag in any hyperlink? If you think so, you are wrong. If website really wants to prevent search engine spam coming through comments or link submissions, it should stop offering links by such methods but it is not possible because such websites are increasing their keyword density in shade of rel=”nofollow" tag. This process helps such websites to be reliable in eyes of Google. Google thinks that they are doing right by preventing such websites doing spamming through comments and link submission. I hope now you all can understand real use of nofollow tag.

I would like to suggest you all link builders not to do link building with blogs or websites using nofollow tag because it will not help you any more but help them you are linking to. If you are doing so, just wasting your time and making yourself and client fool. It will not help you rank higher in Google any more but can decrease your ranking from previous one.

Link Building : .edu or .gov domain

2010-01-17T23:50:00.000-08:00

Hi Friends,
I Hope you all are doing well. I am back with this new post on links from .edu or .gov domain websites. There are a lot of link builders and link building companies offering link building but most of them (approx. 99%) don’t know how to get links from such websites and why such links are important.

Getting links from such websites help our websites to rank higher in search engines along with higher PageRank; it is because Google trusts such websites more than .com, .net & .org domain sites. Following are some effective ways to help us getting links from such websites:

• First of all search for such domain websites with a blog related to your website keyword. To make it easier try the following string in Google:
site:.edu inurl:blog “your website keyword”

Replace .edu with .gov if searching for .gov domains. You will get a lot of such websites with blogs related to your website keyword. Visit blogs and give your valuable comments on them but please mind do not spam because webmasters of such websites will only publish your comment when it is found related and valuable for the post and the link you provide in your comment should have a relation with the word you link to.• The most and effective way to get links from such websites is to help the websites by your services. For example: if you offer web design, web development and seo related services, offer websites to re-design and develop their particular pages if possible entire website free of cost and ask the concern webmaster to offer you a link on the website. I am sure the webmaster can’t say no if you are doing such task.

There are many ways to get such links but I prefer both of these because these are much effective and easier than others. I hope you would like this post. However I would like to know your valuable suggestions and comments over it.

So, think before posting a comment on any blog.

Only post a comment on a blog which is totally relevant to your website and reviews comments before posting.

This article will also help you hiring quality link building services provider for your website(s). In this article, you will find what to check when choosing a quality link partner/quality link building services provider for your website(s).

Link Age is the age of any website you are linking. Google puts a little restriction or penalty on new websites that had seen in the mid-2004. As many as old the website you are linking to is your chances of ranking higher in search engines are quick and more. Therefore, I would like to suggest you to go for only old website links.

Serps is the abbreviation of search engine result pages. This is the page where you search for any keyword on search engines. I would like to suggest you to link with the websites that ranked higher on any particular keyword you are targeting. In this process, you do not need to check all the Google guidelines made for building links.

Nofollow is the technique used to exclude any link to be crawled by Google. For vast information on it you can see my last post “Why rel=”nofollow” link tag is used?” You will find all required information regarding this and the reason for not accepting such links using nofollow tag.

Class C IP is a class of internet protocol (IP) provided to any website. Do not link with such websites who have same IP or same Class C IP. To check such IP’s you can use this tool.

What is Link Juice ?

2009-11-05T22:02:00.000-08:00

Hi friends, it’s been a while to write for my blog. I was a little busy that’s why couldn’t get time to write more. However, I am back with a new topic on Link Juice and the role of it in link building. I hope everybody reading my blog regularly would be aware of what the link building is and why do all we need but do everybody know what is link juice and what is the role of it in link building. Most of my friends doing link building are not aware of link juice but they should. I will describe it in my own language:

Link Juice: I hope everybody knows what the juice is. Suppose, we have 5 litre of juice and we are 5 members to share it equally. The result is that everyone will get 1 litre of juice separately but if you are alone or a few you will get enough. I hope you got the point what I am going to tell you further. Link Juice is almost same as I describe about the distribution of 5 litre juice. In my own words, “Link Juice is the popularity of any page which has to be shared with each external link lying on the page. Linking to a page having few links will improve your page rank and search engine rankings.” Now, I hope you all understand what the Link Juice is.
Role of Link Juice in Link Building: While choosing any website for link exchange or hiring any link building services provider, please confirm that your website will link to a page which will offer you additional link juice so that your website can get better page rank and search engine rankings. For your convenience, following are some terms and conditions which should be followed to get additional link juice:

• Your link should not be added to pages having more than 60-80 external links.
• No more than 30 sponsored or paid links on link page.
• No more than 5-6 Google Ads
• If you wish to do reciprocal link building, try to get links from pages having much PR than yours. Suppose, your link page has PR 3, then you should try to link to PR 4 pages.

For any webmaster, it is not possible to get such links without expertise in link building. For this, you will need to hire an expert link building services provider who can fulfill your entire requirement to help your website ranking higher. Only best link building services can help making your link building campaign successful.

I hope all the information I have provided will help your website rank better along with higher Google Page Rank. However, I wish to get your useful suggestions, queries and comments to make my blog better and gain more and more knowledge.

Link Baiting : Good or Bad

2009-08-31T10:34:00.000-07:00

Hi friend, I hope you are reading my Blog regularly and enjoying. I am here with another topic on Link Bait. This is one of the new techniques used to get one way links to your website/blog. Here I will share what I studied to get one way links through Link Baiting. You all will be thinking what the Link Baiting is and how is it good or bad. I will describe each and everything systematically.
What is Link Bait?
Once again, I am describing it in my language; Link Bait is the way of making users to fall in love with your website/blog. Link Bait entices the users to link to your website/blog. It is only possible when information/services you offering are very much attractive and helpful to users. Only informative and useful content can help you making link baiting successful. Link Bait also help your website to be reliable in eyes of search engines just because of one way links you get.

How Good or BadEveryone is thinking of getting one way links without doing more stuff in link building. Some people are using link baiting technique to get one way links but they are only looking for profit but not aware of harmfulness of link baiting. Everybody prefer to get good one way links and don’t want bad ones but if you are getting one way links through link baiting, it is sure that you also will get bad links. Because not every visitor linking to you from his/her website may be an owner of good website, he may be owner of bad one.For example: Suppose I run a blog related to link building and somebody searching for link building related information on internet found my blog good and linked it from his/her website but the website he offered me a link from is an illegal website. You all are aware of harmfulness of any illegal website please think.
Friends, if you still feel link baiting good then you are wrong. I would like to suggest you just one thing don’t waste time thinking about link baiting. Just go for link building or directory submission to get good links because only these can produce good results. While doing link building or directory submission you check all the guidelines made by Google, so that your website only can get profit not penalized whenever website linking to you without your permission you don’t know what it is.

I hope this article will help you all.

Link Building Activites

2009-08-14T23:36:00.000-07:00

The original purpose of building links was to promote your web site at other sites and bring in visitors. These days only high quality can bring you targeted visitors.Another is to build links for search engine purposes. So, if you want to attract visitors from the search engines build as many links as possible. Aslo, If your site is not Indexed by the search engines, just build several links, and the job is done.

Link Building is not an easy activity, especially for beginners. These tips will help you build initial links and will give you further references.

Forums : There are many forums that allow links to your site in the member list, signature and/or profile. Find forums that match the topic of your business/site. Check if they allow links, sign in, embed your link, and start posting comments, questions, or answers. Do not spam, it is not polite :) and you can get banned. Focus on a few forums and post regularly.Forum links will not help you much with the search engine rankings but they do have some value. At least you will get indexed and also they can bring some visitors.

Blogs : Open an account at Blogger or WorldPress. Post regularly. If you can write something related to your original site great, if not, write a journal. Comment or ask questions at other blogs that you are interested in or are related to yours. Try to include links in the signature and also be sure that your blog’s profile is public. Do not spam!The value of blog links is not very high, especially the ones embedded in the comments. If you are a beginner they could be helpful.

Ask friends : Friends that own or edit websites will be happy to help you. Just ask them to put your link at their web pages. If you don’t have friends online, then make them! Register an account at MySpace. Make your profile rich, contact other people and make friends.

Link Exchange : Link exchange is relatively easy way to build links. Send an e-mail to related sites and ask them to include your link, most likely they will ask you to link back to them. Some sites practice this and have ready links to embed in your site before you ask them for a reciprocal link. Reciprocal links may not have much value for Search Engines but they could be useful. Exchange links only with related sites and link to 20 or 30 partners. To find link exchange partners type in the search box: “your keywords” + “add

One-Way Links : Since reciprocal links have lesser value, it’s more practical to focus on one-way links. Search Engine Rankings usually improves with one way links and it’s more effective than link exchanges as there won’t be links going out from the website and hence the credibility of website does not decrease.

Review Products and Sites : If you buy a product from Amazon.com review it there. Write something like: "I liked it very much" or something like that. Don’t forget to include your link in the review. See how others are doing that. You could review any products you bought (or not) at ePinions.comReview related sites on Alexa.com. Don’t rely only on these sites because reviews carry quality one-way links valuable for search engines. These links can also bring targeted visitors.

Submit and syndicate Articles : This is the easiest way to gain free, high quality links. If you think you can’t write an article just see what and how other people did it. I bet you can do it better. Write an article related to your topic and submit it to Article sites like : EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com and iSnare.com. At the beginning submit your articles manually at as many as possible Article submission sites. Later, you can learn to use automated submission.Writing and syndicating articles is not only great for a Search Engine purposes but also will bring in targeted visitors.

Buy Text Link Ads : Regardless if you are a beginner; if you want to build a successful home based internet business you should seriously consider to buy Text Link Ads for starting. These text links are important primarily for the Search Engines but also will bring you high quality visitors from the sites they are posted on.Buying links will enable you to control the sites that link to you and the Anchor Text of the link (The blue text you see). Both are very important factors for high search engines rankings.

Free Sub Domain hosting : There are many sites that provide free Subdomain Hosting. You could create one or several sites for linking purposes. This activity is similar to blog building. The difference is that you have much more control over the site appearance, its structure, and the links themselves. After you build subdomain site do some or all of the tips above to get indexed by the search engines. If you manage to raise the Page Rank of the pages you would have an excellent linking resource in your hands. Some WhiteHat webmasters would argue that this technique could be abused or considered as spamming, but don’t worry, you can’t harm your original web site. The worst thing you could do is to get the Subdomain banned but only if you exaggerate.

It is not easy to be a beginner. Take it step by step. You don’t have to do everything but remember, the more links the better.

Important Link Building Tips for Freshers

2009-07-18T23:54:00.000-07:00

Hi Friends,

In this article, you will find some useful link building tips to make your link building campaign successful. Here, I am writing what I learn in my seo career while doing link building for any campaign. Link Building plays a major role in search engine optimization. According to me, as I did and saw in my career, after doing on page on any website, link building and directory submission both are enough to get higher ranking, page rank and traffic to any website.
To make any link building project successful, you need to keep learning and doing something new to rank higher in search engines. Following are some useful tips you can use accordingly while doing link building:
• When you are provided any project for link building, study website what all about it is.

• Search your competitors with your targeted keyword in Google to which you have to use in link building for any particular website. You will find thousands of websites listed in search engine results but go with only top ten websites. Pick any website and check its back links in Google and Yahoo or alternately use link harvester tool to see maximum back links of any website. You will find many websites linking to that particular website.

• After it, maintain whole data of websites in an excel sheet followed by their webmaster’s ids or it may be a contact form.

• After maintaining data, write a professional mail regarding link exchange but it should not offer spamming at all. In mail, ever start describing yourself followed by your company and services you offer and never disclose your websites to which you are using for link exchange. Just mention your theme for link exchange. If any webmaster is looking for links, he or she will definitely reply to you. In addition, don’t forget to write 1 or 2 lines on against spamming in your mail.• After reply of any webmaster, you can send your link information in reply.

• Main thing to note, Do not use free email services like Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, AOL etc. If possible, use your company mail id for link exchange. Because most of the mails sent by you to any webmaster go to spam or junk folder than inbox. Therefore, it is just wastage of time. As I found in my career, 50 mails out of 100 directly go to junk or spam folder of webmasters.

• One more thing to note, don’t use link exchange related words in subject line. You can use like “Website Partners” “Potential Partnership” etc. Because in most of cases webmasters block mails, containing subject line “link exchange” related.

• This is also a part of spamming, I said in last two paragraphs but it is not if you are using a professional mail format which describes you, your company, and services you offer

• By following all above tips you will get more and more quality links for your websites.
Using such email format, you are not only doing link exchange but also email marketing for your company followed by more and more traffic to your website.
