I guess you must have setup your blog and started promoting
it. Today I'll be discussing how to rank higher in the
search engine Google.com. As I explained earlier in my
previous mails, google.com is one of the best ways to
drive free targeted traffic to your blog to earn profitable
income from Adsense. Apart from submitting your blog to
Google, there are some other important things to do, to
ensure your blog ranks number 1 on Google whenever some-
one searches for something related to your blog content.
What I'm talking about is called LINK BUILDING. It is an
aspect of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and this must
be done if you want your blog to rank high in Google Search
So, what's the big deal about inbound links? Let's take a
closer look.
If you've read even the most basic articles out there
about search engine algorithms, you know that the key to
getting higher in listings is to have a ton of inbound
links from quality sites. That doesn't mean joining link
farms or buying advertising space.
It means getting reference and authority sites to point
links in your direction with keyword oriented anchor text.
But, where can you actually get those links? Here are five
of the best sources for quality links that will have the
biggest impact on your search engine rankings. This is by
no means a complete list, but is a great way to get
started.
1. Directories - Directories are one of the oldest tools
on the Internet when it comes to SEO and they still work
just as well now as they always did. The reason is that it
is hard to get listed in a directory and all entries are
manually checked and placed to ensure they are accurate.
Google respects that placement and will reward sites with
a very powerful backlink. The top two directories are the
DMOZ.com - Open Directory Project and Yahoo! Yahoo! is a paid
directory while the DMOZ is free, but takes weeks to
months to get listed in. Other directories are available
as well, such as Blogcatalog.com, Technorati.com,
and TopofBlogs.com. Make sure you submit your blog to them
2. Blogs and Forums - Commenting on other sites is a great
way to develop backlinks. Your goal is to find industry
blogs and forums that don't use "no-follow" tags. The
"no-follow" tag is not necessarily bad for your linking,
but it doesn't help as much as a standard link.
On forums, use your signature and make sure to provide
value to the site. On blogs, you'll need to comment
frequently and use links in your user name or as a
reference.
3. Article Directories - Article marketing provides plenty
of good backlinks as well. Write articles for posting on
sites like Ezine Articles, Go Articles, Buzzle, or Easy
Articles and you'll get a good backlink from a PR 4+ site.
The problem with these backlinks is that they tend to fade
quickly unless your articles get a lot of traffic due to
the volume of content on the sites. So, repeated posting
to the sites may be necessary.
4. .Edu and .Gov Reference Sites - There are not many, but
if you can find a niche related EDU or GOV site that
allows comments and linking, you should post there. Many
Affiliate Marketing sites like Affilorama offer Trusted
Site search engines to find sites that fit the bill. If
you can get a backlink from these sites, they're worth a
LOT.
5. Social Media - No one is particularly sure how much of
an impact links from Facebook or Twitter have on
your performance, but they are useful, especially if
multiple users post the links.
A viral blog post that spread through Digg, Reddit, and
Facebook will generate quite a few good backlinks. YouTube
is another good site if you get quite a few page views on
your videos.
Getting the kind of links you need to be competitive in a
highly profitable niche can be hard. It takes time and
money to get all those links, but with organic SEO, the
results will often last for a lot longer than if you just
bought PPC advertising.
