One of the most valuable ways to build authority in the Search Engines is to obtain back links. This is known as off site search engine optimization. Each back link is seen as a vote for your site which can help you improve your search engine rankings. This is a task that can be done by an individual or a search engine optimization agency such as ours here at Verotaro Marketing.
The following is a list of methods to obtain back links for your website or blog.
1) Press releases can be a valuable source for back links if used correctly. Using the keywords as anchor text within the press release to link back to your website will help improve placement in the search engines.
2) Design 10 microsites around your website. All sites should look different and use anchor text within the site’s articles to link back to your website. Each site must be different and all must be unique from your main site. Do not use the same meta tags or description, template or copy. However, there is a certain amount of work needed to achieve recognition by the search engines of these micro sites and that means creating backlinks for these sites.
3) Create a blog. A blog is a valuable source of backlinks to your main website.
4) Article Submission Sites are also a good source of back links. Articles submitted on subjects containing the keywords you want to rank for can be posted on many different article submission sites. Eventually these articles will be used by webmasters and bloggers who want free content for their own sites. These articles will then provide backlinks from a variety of related websites. Article Submission sites such as Ezinearticles, GoArticles.com, ArticleDashboard, Searchwarp, Articlesbase, Web-source, SearchGuild, and WebwordIndex, etc. Note: EzineArticles is highly respected by Google. It will take a lot of backlinking to obtain PR (page rank) for the articles on these article submission sites unless the site who uses your article already has pagerank for the page your article on which your article will appear.
5) Submitting to Directory submission sites will provide anchor text back links to whatever page/pages your website is attempting to rank for. Use high Page Ranking Directory submission sites.
6) Social media sites. If you are already using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. There are other social media sites that can be used to gain backlinks. Social media assists with inbound link production. Social media sites are great for reputation management. There is a need to be active and participate. Inbound links will come from bloggers, resource websites, and forums. A business needs to be active and distribute content for social media to work.
7) Use Social Bookmarking sites. One can submit links to articles/postings to such sites as Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Delicious and many others.
8) Use Google Local. This will help local customers find your website. Use your address and as many keywords in your description as you can.
In conclusion, there is no better way to achieve back links than creating quality content. When you have a high quality website, people will want to link to your content. The frequency with which you update your website will also help you to gain a high page rank in the search engines, whether it is Google, Bing or Yahoo. Yes, there’s a lot of work and time involved in the process and this is where hiring an SEO agency such as Verotaro Marketing is useful.
