Top 10 ways to link popularity, part 1
Link popularity has become an important factor in the ranking
algorithms of most search engines. If many quality Web sites
link to your site, you'll have a good position in the search
engines.There are a number of ways to improve the link popularity
of your Web site. Here's the first half of our top 10 list
on how to improve your link popularity:10. Cross-link your
sites
An easy way to improve your link popularity is to add a
link from your own popular Web site to a less popular site
of your own.However, it's very important that one site is
not only a duplicate of the other and that both sites are
related to each other. For example, CheckYourLinkPopularity.com
links to Axandra.com
and vice versa. Both sites are different but they offer
related content.
9. Give testimonials
Everyone has some favorite software tools and utilities.
Contact the publishers or developers and explain why you
like their software programs. Some of them will request
a permission to display your testimonial on their Web site,
along with a link to your site.
You can also contact Web sites that don't offer software
programs but interesting articles. Just make sure that you
really stand behind what you say as it can backfire to you
if you recommend bad products.
8. Awards for you and other sites
You can submit your Web site to sites who offer awards.
If they reward you their award, then they'll probably link
to your site. Just search Google for "awards directory
your-keyword" (replace "your-keyword" with
a keyword that is important to your business).
You can also offer an award for other Web sites. Submit
your awards page to the above-mentioned awards directories
to make it popular. The Web sites who receive your award
will link back to your site.
7. Participate in newsgroups and discussion forums
When you post to newsgroups and discussion forums, add
a signature file with a link to your Web site.
An easy way to post messages in newsgroups is to create
a Google account and to post via their Web interface: http://groups.google.com
To find good discussion forums, just search Google for
"forums directory your-keyword". For example,
if you want to participate in a marketing forum, search
Google for "forums directory marketing".
6. Provide a link directory
Offer a link directory on your Web site which links to
quality Web sites with a similar topic. Your visitors will
appreciate such a resource and you'll provide incentive
for other sites to link to your site.
You can add a "link to us" page to your Web site
on which you promise to add other complementary sites to
your link directory if they link back to you first.
ARELIS, the professional reciprocal links management software,
can help you to create and maintain a link directory (among
many other useful things). It also checks if other Web sites
remove their link to you.
