SEO LINKING - THE LINKS

One Way Links

The best of the 3 options you see here, one way links mean you do not need to link out of your website.

3 Way Linking

The next best option is having an incoming link but linking out to another website. Having an outgoing link is not great but the incoming link would carry much more weight than if you were to exchange links.

Link Exchange

This option is the link that would carry the least amount of weight. But by no means should you not do this.

Every link helps remember. Especially if it is from a related website.

 

SEO LINKING - THE LINKS SOURCE

PageRank

PageRank is a good quick measure of the importantance of a website.

If you have not already got Google’s toolbar then get it.

The higher the pagerank the more quality the incoming links that website has.

Incoming links from website with pagerank 4 and above is the main goal.

Though when starting out you may need to start lower until your pagerank has increased.

Related Websites

The more related a website is to your websites theme the more weight the incoming link will carry.

Examples

• Pond website linking to a pond website – direct competition – Very Good Link
• Pond website linking to a garden website – related theme – Good Link
• Pond website linking to a fish website – related website – Good Link
• Pond website linking to a Car Website – unrelated website – Poor Link

Link Positioning

The position at what your link is placed at a website will also determine the weight it carries.

The Website Position

• Home Page – very very good
• 1 click away from home page – very good
• 2 clicks away from home page – good
• 3 clicks away from home page – average
• 4 clicks away from home page – poor
• And so on.

 

The Page Position

• Top of the page – very good
• Middle of page – good
• Bottom of page - average

 

Other Outgoing Links

When your link is placed on a web page you need to check out how many other outgoing links there are on that page. The more outgoing links there are to a page the less weight your incoming link will have.

• 10 Plus Outgoing Links – Very Poor
• 6 to 10 Outgoing links – Average
• 4 to 5 Outgoing Links – Good
• 2 to 3 Outgoing Links – Very Good
• 1 Outgoing Link – Very Very good

 

Keywords

Having your keywords in your link and around your link in the content helps a great deal with the weight of an incoming link.

• Keyword rich website + keyword rich web page + Keyword in your link – Very Very Good
• Keyword in your Link – Very Good
• Keyword rich website –Good
• Keyword rich web page –Good
• Keywords below or above your link – Very Good

Not having any of the above de-values your incoming link, for example a link that reads “visit here” or “click here” would be better reading visit “Seo web design services”

 

Content

The more web pages full of content a website has the more weight it will give your incoming link. This is because more keywords are to likely used and the fact that search engines love content.

 

Articles

Writing articles and submitting them to article sites can benefit you hugely. WHY? Because they create a:-

• One Way Link
• They come from high pagerank websites depending where you submit them too.
• The article gets placed in a related category which helps your link.
• You never get many other outgoing links on these pages. Keyword rich content and a keyword link as you wrote it.

 

Forums

Joining forums that are related to your website also create a one way link. You find a question you can answer and leave a link to your website at the end. This creates a one way link from a related websites where you can add keywords into your answer.

 

Directories

Directories can play a great part in SEO linking. There are hundreds of free directories and they create one way links. There maybe loads of other links to a page but remember every incoming link helps. Plus there are some very high pagerank directories like yahoo and dmoz.
