100% natural: how to get high rankings with
natural links
Some years ago, it was enough to get many inbound links to
get high rankings on Google. It didn't matter from where these
links came as long as there were many links that pointed to
your website.
As Google and other search engines continually improve the
way they rank web pages, getting the right links is crucial
if you want to be listed on the first search result page.
Unnatural links can be bad for your Google rankings
Google is able to detect unnatural linking patterns. That
is why the following type of links don't work:
Link farms and automated linking systems
Some online services promise hundreds of links in a short
time with no work involved. All you have to do is to put some
code on your website or to join a system that will help you
to get links from other sites quickly and easily.
These automated linking systems don't work and Google can
detect them. Actually, Google thinks that you're spamming
if you participate in such a system and they might penalize
your website by lowering its position in the search results.
Paid links
Google's anti-spam guru Matt Cutts has made clear that Google
considers paid links spam. If you don't want to lose your
rankings on Google, you should be very careful when buying
links.
Natural links have a positive effect on your Google rankings
Natural links are links that make sense to your website visitors.
For example, if you have a website about Linux, a totally
unrelated link to a car parts website would look strange.
The links that point to your website should be from related
websites and from sources that would "naturally"
link to you, i.e. Internet directories, social bookmarking
services, blogs, etc. The more related websites link to your
site, the higher your website will rank on Google's result
pages.
How to get the best links to your website
There are a few things that you can do to get as many good
links as possible to your website.
1. Create a linkworthy website
If your website is only a collection of affiliate links then
you cannot expect that other webmasters will link to your
site. Create a website with good content. You might also consider
creating web pages whose sole purpose is to get inbound links.
This could be "How to" articles, top 10 lists or
even a controversial statement.
The more interesting your web pages are, the easier it is
to get links from other websites.
2. Contact related websites and blogs
Contact related websites and point them to the interesting
content on your site. Do you have an article on your website
that solves a specific problem?
Contact websites that also deal with that topic or bloggers
who have written about that topic and tell them about your
article. Chances are that these websites will link to your
site. Our link builder can help you to find and contact related
websites and blogs.
3. Submit your website to related Internet directories
Internet directories are an easy way to get inbound links.
However, only submit your website to Internet directories
that are relevant to your website and only submit your website
to the right category.
A link from the right directory and the right category to
your website can have a positive impact on your Google rankings.
The semi-automatic submitter can help you to submit your website
to relevant directories.
4. Make it easy to add your website to social bookmark services
Add a bookmark link to your website so that it is easy for
your website visitors to bookmark your site.
5. Get links to different pages of your website and vary
your link texts
Most links go to the home page of a website. It usually helps
to get direct links to the web page that you want to promote
on search engines. The websites that link to your website
should use different but related texts to link to your site.
If all web pages use exactly the same text to link to your
site, this will look unnatural.
Getting the right kind of backlinks is very important if
you want to get high rankings on Google and other search engines.
First of all, create interesting and linkworthy web pages
and optimize the content of these pages for search engines.
Make sure that your web pages are user-friendly and interesting.
If you then get the right kind of links to your website your
rankings will increase.
