Do’s and Don’ts of Link Building

Link building is an off-site optimization strategy that plays a considerable role in your website’s popularity with the major search engines. It’s just a tactic to increase your position in the search engine results. Link building philosophy states that the more links pointing back to your site, the more likely you are to appear in the top search results!

Link building is not a piece of cake and requires extra effort and effective techniques, because the recipe is not in overdoing it, but just keeping it stable at up to a certain point. So, here are a few do’s and don’ts that will help you along the link building process. Here goes:

Do’s of Link Building

1. Concentrate on related links only. Establish links with sites that are of the same nature as yours, otherwise it will be totally irrelevant if you switch or put up your links on site not related to you in any way. For example, the traffic landing on a music site will be looking for music, and if your business is concerned with construction, you’ll get no benefit out of such poor link building.

2. Competitor’s analysis is always important. Check all the sites linking with your competitors and try motivating them to link with you as well. Be friendly and not assertive, compose a good message and you’ll get it right on track!

3. Submitting your link to web directories is the most conventional yet effective method of building your link popularity. There are several paid as well as free directories, consider whichever suits you according to your budget.

4. Publish articles and regular press releases embedded with your link to various article sites. Make sure the content is original; you can also use keywords in the body of your article and then place your site link against those keywords. This is the most effective technique of link building that has come forward in recent internet marketing.

5. When you visit the related sites, look to see if they offer forums and discussion panels. If they do, use the platform by posting your message against that discussion and including your URL in your signature. Make sure the message you post is alluring and stirring for the readers so they can link on to you immediately after reading it.

Don’ts of Link Building

1. Avoid setting up your site’s link on sites that are not related to you in any case. This will do you no good and instead it will harm your reputation of being credible!

2. Never make it seem like you are desperate to sell your site to other webmasters for links. Compose a fine professional email for them to consider putting your link to their site and wait for their response, don’t start irritating them with constant emails.

3. Don’t ever post your link directly on chat rooms and discussion forums; this might get you banned for good! You always have a signature place where you can place your site’s link, so what’s the need of being too loud?

4. Don’t spam articles with too many links. Whatever article you write must be good, original, and informative for the readers if you want your link building to be effective in attracting visitors. The knowledge you put in your articles will speak for itself about your professionalism.

5. With Google, all the incoming links count. So the more incoming links you have, the more better it will be. While outgoing links may reduce your link popularity a great deal.
