Effective Link Building

How to Become a Master Link Builder

Link building is an essential component of your search engine optimization process. But what exactly is a link? And more importantly, what are the most powerful link building strategies to draw traffic to your web site?

What is a Link?

A link is a powerful shortcut to quickly get you from one webpage or website to another.

Incoming links are what make your website a force to be reckoned with. If you have good quality inbound links, it means higher search engine rankings, more quality traffic to your site, and eventually, more customers and more money in your pocket.

...and Link Juice?

Ever heard the term link juice? In short, it's the key to your popularity with the search engines. The more link juice you have, the higher you can rank in the search engines’ results. Link juice is a way to describe the weight a specific link might carry. A link with more weight is going to be more important to the search engines.

To understand link juice, you first need to understand another SEO term link popularity.


50 Link Building Tips

For your information, we've assembled 50 best-of-the-best link building tips to help you become a master link builder! We'd also love for you to submit a link building tip if you have any good ones to share. What's in it for you? A quality link to your site, of course! It's all about paying it forward!

Link Popularity

Link popularity refers to the search engines' assessment of how popular a web page is based on how many other web pages link to it. The more links point to one of your web pages, the more popular the search engines will judge your pages to be.

Having popular pages is an extremely important factor in search engine optimization. The search engines have a job to do: they have to present the most relevant search results to their users. Since popular pages are considered to be the most relevant, those pages will be given a high ranking. This, in turn, will allow more searchers to find you, which will make your web pages even more popular!


Make your Links WORK!

Be very careful who you link to! It's not a good idea to ask all your family and friends to link to you. You only want links with lots of link juice!

So what makes a Link Juicy?

The following variables all contribute to giving certain web pages more clout than others:

1. The amount of links pointing to the page. If a page has hundreds or thousands of links pointing to it, chances are the links on that page have good link juice that can be passed on to outside pages (like your page) and would therefore be great for your link building strategy.

Here's an example: Let’s say www.visit-chiang-mai-online.com one of our other sites, has a ton of link juice. If you are in the travel business and get this site to link to you, it could pass on a lot of link juice to your site.

2. The amount of outgoing links: Pages with too many outgoing links usually have less link juice than pages with 10 or fewer outgoing links. So it's important to be really picky when choosing who you want to link to.

3. Whether the page that links to you is in a similar niche: Link-building is essential, but you must make sure those links come from sites that complement yours. In other words, don’t request links from sites that are about mortgages if your business is about sporting goods.

4. How much real content the page has: Pages that don't have a lot of content and are mostly made up of outgoing links have less link juice to offer. The best links are usually from pages that have lots of original content.

Bottom line: the better your link building strategy and the more link juice you can get, the higher you will rank with the search engines. The result? Increased web site traffic!
