Link Building is a Continuous Process
Changes occur more frequently in the internet than anywhere else. How many websites do you think are being created each day, and how many websites are being closed down or deleted in the web. As one website goes two or three websites takes its place and as one website goes precious inbound and outbound links also take its leave away from the web.
Your Links are Not Permanent
Your link building process should keep up with these changes. Not only with websites being deleted but also be prepared for other things like websites being sold or suspended. Likewise, articles containing your links may be deleted anytime and blogrolls containing your links can be removed easily without the consent of anyone. Your most important backlinks may be gone in a matter of seconds and you might just be surprised to find out that your rank with search engines has decreased. Your position in search results may go down from top ten to top twenty to nothing and this would affect your website adversely as a whole.
Acquire and Maintain Your Links Inexpensively
There are many strategies in acquiring and maintaining quality backlinks to your website and I would like to share to you some simple strategies which can be done easily and inexpensively. Always bear in mind you do not need a bazillion inbound links to get the attention of search engines, what you need to do is to focus on quality not quantity. But this simple strategy does not come automatically, you have to do your part and exert some effort. If your site is commercial or if you are into niche marketing, this would be very helpful in your Link Building Strategies.
Article and Web Directories – Once a Month
Try to acquire a link from the two directories mentioned above once a month. Yes, you heard me, just once a month. There are hundreds of articles and web directories in the web just give some time and search for them. The important thing you have to consider is the quality; check the site, browse the articles published if it’s an article directory or listing of websites if it’s a web directory. Make sure the websites being listed have good quality, try visiting three to five sites listed and use your good judgment. It does not matter if it’s free or paid, although paid listings give faster reviews, the important thing is the quality of the directory. Remember, you will just do this once a month so spend some quality time in submitting your articles or website/s to them.
Forums and Comments – Once a Week
What about once a week? I know your time is precious but you could save lots of money doing it yourself rather than using the services of SEO companies. Try to acquire links from forums and visit websites or blogs and post comments leaving your link behind once a week. You don’t need to join hundreds of forums in the web, joining one or two forum and increasing them as you go on is effective enough. Posting relevant posts in forums once a week will help boost the rank of your website, just make sure the forum is not using the nofollow attribute or the forum is a dofollow site. The same thing with comments, once a week, find some blogs or websites similar to yours, but this time don’t waste your time looking for dofollow sites, just leave a comment when you can.
Post Unique and Useful Articles – Priceless
After following the strategies above, now you can focus and give more time in creating high quality unique and useful contents in your website. Most specially if you are a blogger, your energies and most of your time should be focused in writing which would give you the best source of one way backlinks. Posting unique and useful articles will give other webmasters reason to link to your site. Writing useful article takes time and effort and can even consume financial resources. It takes number of hours researching, reading, probing and writing to produce great articles, but the end results are most gratifying; websites will link to you.
Always remember, the success of your link building will depend on the quality time that you will spend with your site. We want you to share your ideas, please post your comment below.
