Do you ever wonder why your site doesn't receive the traffic you believe it deserves? Why the only people visiting your website are your current customers and your friends?
Where are the new customers your web designer promised you?
Everyone wants to believe that the search engines will crawl their website and poof... like magic... they'll appear at the top of the search result. Unfortunately, it hardly ever works out that way.
So let's focus on one of the very few things that will greatly increase your site's rankings. I'm going to keep this very simple...
Get as many high quality incoming links to your site as possible!
That's it, the secret is out. Incoming links are like votes—the more links your website has, the more votes it has to be number one—the "authority" on your subject matter.
But first things first...
Before you go looking for incoming links make sure your website is completely done... the right way. Your web pages should be filled with easy to read content, information people are searching for.
Make sure your web pages are optimized from your visitor's perspective.
Done? Good... now get busy getting links into your site. But remember one thing...
Quality always beats quantity
Prior to 2007, the more links you had coming into your site, the higher you would climb in the search engine rankings... but that's not true any more.
Links from some websites are weighted heavier than links from others.
The search engines have gotten much smarter and they now know that most good content is related. Therefore links from sites with content relevant to your website are much more important than links from sites that are irrelevant.
How many links do you need?
Your work at link building should never end. The good news is that as your website becomes more of an authority on your subject matter, websites will begin to link to you on their own.
Meanwhile, you have three options when it comes to building incoming links: hire someone, don't worry about it, or do it yourself.
- Hiring someone is a good option however, linking is labor-intensive and you should budget for it up front.
- The "don't worry about it" option doesn't cost much, but without incoming links your site will die a slow lonely death.
- A "do it yourself option" takes both time and money. If you choose this option, get coaching in link building. You will quickly recover the cost by avoiding time consuming mistakes.
Success in life comes through building and sustaining both personal and professional relationships. We quickly learn that each good connection leads to another and in a short time we have a valuable network.
Remember, the Internet is a collection of links with each site pointing to other sites. You must get high quality links to your website for your Internet business to achieve its goals.
