Search Engine Optimisation Introduction
Search Engine Optimisation or SEO is a massive topic and it’s very hard to cover everything that needs to be done in one single post.
The most important element is the fact you need to get links from other sites, especially with the specific anchor text you are trying to rank for. But not just from anywhere; you want links from quality and relevant websites which are similar to you own sites niche market.
With Google in particular your site’s ranking is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to you. The quantity, quality, and relevance of links count towards your rating. The sites that link to you can provide context about the subject matter of your site, and can indicate its quality and popularity. Always try to go for links from sites with a high PageRank.
Links matter a lot because Google’s algorithm is set up to use the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page’s importance. High quality links boost the trust, relevance and authority of your web page. This is somewhat the same for search engines like Yahoo or Live.
How To Build Links
Firstly, avoid all Blackhat (naughty) link building methods. Always stick to the search engine guidelines.
I recommend these methods.
- Contests
- Link exchanges
- Donations/sponsorships
- Blog comments
- Blog/web directories
- Article directories
- Forums
- Press Releases.
- Social bookmarking websites like Digg and StumbleUpon
- Social news sites like Facebook
- Social media communities like Youtube
