A nice website.. pay per click ads.. social media promotion.. these are all great tools to help your online business succeed, but they’re not going to help you rank on the first page of Google’s search results. And isn’t that what you really want? It’s the cheapest, best advertising you can possibly get on the web. If you ask any SEO pro, they’ll tell you one sure-fire way to help your website rank higher, is to have more links pointing to your site from other websites.
There are many different types of websites that you can add a link to, but be cautious, as you want your link to be relevant to the site. For example, if your website is about sports equipment, you don’t want to ask a blogger that writes about cooking to mention your website in a post. It just wouldn’t make sense, and he/she will just treat it as if it was spam. If you’re constantly doing this, your website could develop a bad reputation. Also, if non-relevant sites do allow you to place your link on their site, you run the risk of getting blacklisted by Google. You can avoid the Google blacklist by always following their guidelines.
There are also other little things you can do to help improve the ranking. When possible, use anchor text with a description of your website and/or key words. For example, if I was going to make a post on this blog to inform someone that Anduro is an SEO firm, I wouldn’t just add the link like this http://www.anduro.com. I’d use anchor text in the hyperlink to make it look something like this, SEO Marketing Calgary. It’s the same results. If you click either of the links, it will bring you to the same webpage, but by using anchor text, Google can see what the website is all about, and this will help your site rank better.
