Ethical Linking Strategies for Webmasters
"First of all, it is very important to fully understand my position
when it come to using only
Ethical Search Engine Optimization techniques. That same
code of ethics carries over into each and every method that I teach
to members of my free
SEO Training Class. It really comes down to doing what you
know is right."
5 Simple Steps to Ethical Linking Strategies
Part of building a successful online business, involves developing
a solid approach to your website linking strategies. This
can be broken down into five simple steps.
-
Never keep all of your eggs in one basket. This applies to
all aspects of your business, and to the linking strategies you
choose to use. You should be using every possible ethical source
of increasing NATURAL LINKING to your site.
- There are no QUICK MAGICAL ANSWERS to building a solid base
of natural incoming links to your site. It depends entirely on
good old fashioned hard work. Stop looking for ways to find programs,
or methods that will give you hundreds of incoming links overnight.
- "Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase
your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links
to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web as your own
ranking may be affected adversely by those links." Google
Guidelines
- "Linking schemes do not increase a given site's PageRank,
and will often do a site more harm than good. Many sites that
advertise link-sharing programs not only offer little value,
but will distribute your email address without your permission,
resulting in an increased volume of unwanted mail to you."
Google
Facts & Fiction
- Many of you have seen the ads offering to sell you incoming
links from sites with high PR. What these sites forget to mention
to you is that it goes completely against Google Guidelines. They
likely also do not mention to you how many sites have ended up
totally banned in Google for using this very unethical practice,
over the last year.
- When linking to OTHERS, do not use automated programs that
prevent them from receiving "credit" for the incoming link. Hold
your cursor over the link and look down in the status bar. If
anything but their link is showing (ie: longer url's) you are
not using a program that benefits them. If you felt that the site
was a benefit to your visitors, then give the site owner full
credit, where credit is due.
- Once again, it all comes back to doing what is right. Never
choose to exchange links for the sole purpose of increasing your
PageRank. If you choose to link to a company, do so because you
TRULY BELIEVE you are providing a resource to your site visitors
that will benefit them.
The fastest way to increase natural incoming links, is to provide
people with something they WANT to link to. Provide the kind of
site that they WANT to tell their site visitors about. (articles,
free services, quality content, quality blogs, etc.) Once you are
doing this, you can easily ask people to consider linking to your
site.
