SEO Series Batch 9 - External Linking

SEO Series is back on track and today's topic is about external linking. External linking is another important factor in your SEO optimization. With every external link your blog becomes more and more popular on the web meaning that it gets higher search engine results and more importantly - more traffic.

Even though you can't have an impact on every external link pointing to your blog, you still have a chance of getting some external links to your blog which you CAN control - control the linking (anchor) text, that is.

How to get desired anchor text for your external links:

1. Exchanging links with other bloggers - allows you to ask for desired anchor text
2. Submitting your blog to web directories where you have editorial control and you can specify how your link will look like
3. Getting listed on partner blogs and sites
4. Optimizing your post title - if you use a great title your post can be picked up by someone where you usually get the credit for it + the post title as the anchor text
5. Buying links on other blogs which gives you complete editorial rights and you can specify the desired anchor text.
6. Running a contest on your blog will bring you external links with the anchor text you specify in the contest rules.

After you have done that, your external links depend on the webmasters that post them. The best influence you can have on that is to optimize your post titles in the best possible way.

One last thing, external linking very much depends on your content. With high quality content you will have no problems at all in getting external links.

SEO Series Batch 8 - Google Optimization - Key Factors

Google optimization is one of the most crucial factors for your SEO campaign and making money online. Google is, as you probably know by now, the most powerful search engine today and your SEO very much depends on Google Optimization.

Google Optimization is based on three things:

1. Google Page Rank
2. Google Sand Box
3. Inbound Links

You need to focus on those three factors to make the most from your Google Optimization. What Google values the most are those high-quality inbound links. You can get them by writing articles, buying links and link exchanges. Try to get as much as you can of those one-way text links and by getting that alone, your Page Rank should increase by itself.

On the other hand, you should try to avoid getting caught in the Google Sand Box. The effect of the Google Sand Box is on the new domain names by holding them in a filter. Getting out of the Sand Box includes adding relevant content to your blog, linking to your external pages and using competitive keywords.

Google Optimization - Key Factors

- make sure your new pages link to your old ones
- add a sitemap to your blog
- use title optimization
- use relevant keywords in your posts
- submit your site to web-directories
- use robot.txt files to prevent non-relevant content being scanned
- submit your site to Google
- write content for your readers - not for search engines
