Effective Link Building Tips for SEO

[lizatailor23]

Link Building is a essential part of any SEO plan to boost your website position on Google, Bing, Yahoo. Effective link Building starts by understanding what links are the most effective and which ones are the least effective.

 

1) Avoid Purchasing Links: Google knows the difference between links that are bought and links that are earned and Google wants you to earn your links, Link Buying vs Link Building. There is an important exception; purchasing a link for a highly relevant site with a high Google Ranking (or Page Rank) of 5, 6, or 7 works but only if you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars every month for just that one link. Google will not give you credit for these links if the age of the link isnt at least 6 months or more. So this involves making a significant financial commitment. If you buy links, make it long term and make it consistent.

 

2) Directory Linking: You can purchase links from Directories. However, there are many more directories where you can register and gain Backlinks without having to pay. Either way, these links do not have the best value in the eyes of the spiders.

 

3) Highly Relevant, Naturally Occurring Backlinks: You can stop here,these are the Backlinks you want because these are the Backlinks that Google wants. The best way to get these backlinks is great content.

I would never purchase links from directories. It's a waste of money. I have 3 sites listed in the Yahoo directory and a couple others listed in DMOZ. I get little to no traffic from those links.
