The Truth About Link Building
Links have the most important function in the Internet. Aside from being different from other text through its contrasting color or underlined style; links provide vital uses for human readers and search engines as well. Links provide the way to present other websites and they measure the importance of the site or web pages they are linking to.
If you want your site to be indexed fast, acquire a link from a reputable site previously indexed and within 48 – 72 hours your site will be discovered by search engines. Links are the means to share the content of your website, without links your site doesn’t have any use even if it contains very important information.
The main use of links is to provide useful information to Internet users. We do this whenever we want to share a useful information or website in our articles, share our favorite blogs or site or when we place advertisement links beneficial to our readers in our sidebars. The promotion of our website, products or services is another important role it does; when we submit our links to directories, to other blogs or sites, when we leave comments or when we submit posts in forums.
Links not only are important to our readers, it is also vital to search engines. Keep in mind that links are the basis of search engines in ranking websites in the Web. If you will read the Google Corporate Technology Overview, you will observe that web pages with higher PageRank (PR) will likely be presented on top of search results. PR by the way is how Google ranks web pages (1-10), the higher it is, the more important that page will be. Now, PR is improved by acquiring quality backlinks of a web page.
So when we acquire backlinks to our site, we increase its presence and exposure to other website owners, publishers and readers thus increasing our visitors through referral traffic from other websites. So just try to imagine if you have thousands of backlinks from different article directories. Once a reader has finished reading your article and get interested, he will definitely visit your site though your site’s link.
As we have mentioned above, links are the basis of how search engines choose the websites that will be listed on top of search results. This is called organic traffic, free advertisement brought by search engines. This is the best traffic that is being competed by each webmaster in his chosen niche, to be at the top of search results.
There are many sources where we could acquire or place our links; foremost places are directories, Web directories and Article Directories, next are websites, blogs, networks, Squidoo, Hubpages, Infobarrel, etc. Acquiring backlinks needs tremendous work and at times we need to spend some financial resources to keep up with our competitors.
