There has been a bit of controversy around links and link building. Some people claim that links have no effect on search engine ranking, others state links are the single most important component to a good search engine ranking. We agree that links are very important, but they are NOT the single most important component (this will be disclosed in a later lesson).

The common way to get quality links to your web site is also the old-fashioned way. Do a Google search for a complimentary businesses and send the web site owner (or moderator) a link. The trick is, only do so AFTER you have placed a link to their web site on yours.

Below are some further guidelines and tips in getting links to (and from) your web site

  • The more popular a web site, the more beneficial a link to your web site will be
  • Have others link to your web site using the keywords and description you provide
  • DO NOT link to link farms, or sites that are black listed with Google
  • Keep your links organized on your web site by category and no more than 20 links to a page

Link building a simple, but very time consuming tasks. When done correctly, several quality links can help take your web site from the top 100,000 to the top 100 in a few weeks!
