Breakthrough Marketing – The SMART Way!

Link building, Google that word and you find any one of a thousand and one link build technics, do they work? Most of them yes, is there any one magic bullet? NO, link building is the second most time consuming method you will use when setting up your website for organic SEO. We call it “Organic SEO” for a reason, because the more you water it the more it grows.

Link building, why do I have to build them? Well a few years ago the major search engines determined that links pointing to your website had some pretty relevant information attached to those links, like who you are, what you do and where you are located. Since most of those links were established by 3rd parties they may not represent what you think your company does or is they are the view of how other people view your company or organization.

So do you want everyone else telling the world what your links should say about your organization or would you like to have some control over it? Link building yourself is the only way to get the word out, and the more websites that point to your website listing your name, location, website address, and a keyword the better off your rankings will be.

Linkbuilding Methods

Here are a few methods to quickly build backlinks which will in turn get your page indexed, in most cases at a pretty rapid pace. If you‟re already indexed this can further your position in the search engines or cause the search engines to crawl more of your pages and get more of your site indexed.

Blogging – Jackpot! Blogging is basically another way to get Backlinks. When you write a blog, Google knows about it practically before you‟re done writing it. Google and other search engines visit Blog sites too many times in a day to count.

RSS – RSS stands for Really Simply Syndication. It‟s a way to let the search engines and blog hosts know when you update your page or blog on the spot. While RSS alone is useless, when you make use of it with your blog or page it‟s just another tool in the arsenal of indexing that you can readily make use of.

Pinging – Really it should be blogging and pinging but you‟ll learn about that later on in my step by step plan for getting indexed. Quickly! Pinging is actually two things, it‟s more than two things but in it‟s principal form it can be two things.

Pay Per Click – PPC as you know is where you pay the search engines a fee every time someone clicks your ad and brings a visitor to your site. While this is good to advertise with (not great), it is a great way to get a new site indexed quickly.

Social Bookmarking – The birth and boom of Social Bookmarking is fairly new but so is its effect on Linkbuilding which is ultimately plays a huge role in either getting Indexed or maintaining your status with the search engine(s).

Articles – Articles are another great way to get Backlinks. Before the days of Social Bookmarking and sites like Myspace and the blog sites, Articles were a key part to getting indexed or as I always say boosting your position in the engines.

Forums- Lots of people visit and use forums on a regular basis. More importantly most reputable, well known forums have been around for a long time. Google loves when a site has been indexed for a long time and has continued to stay in the index for more than a few weeks or months.

Classified Sites- People everywhere pick up classified ad magazines on a daily basis. Cars, Boats, Stereos, Shoes, Houses, Jobs, etc… are only a few items you will find in the classified section of a newspaper or in a dedicated classified publication.
