Link Building Services’ Top Five Most Important Secrets!
Link building services are vital for many businesses, which need good Google rankings but can’t spend the time on developing the expertise to get them on their own. You’ll find a lot of advice about DIY link building on the Internet, and it generally looks something like:
* Submit your site to web directories
* Write articles with good info and real value
* Regularly create press releases
* Comment on dofollow blogs
* Start your own set of blogs and maintain them
These are the core activities of link building services … but they also have a few tricks up their sleeve that aren’t widely known! Here we look at some of the secrets that link building services use to get top Google ranks for their clients.
1. Look for links with no mention
Link building services can use special parameters within search engines to find websites that already mention one of your products, your website or your brand, but don’t actually include the link. Sometimes then a friendly email asking for a followed link is all that is needed!
2. Friends and family
Do a customer’s friends and family have their own websites … and if not, do they have MySpace or Facebook pages, do they participate in forums or Yahoo Answers, or otherwise publish content on Web 2.0 sites? Simply collaborating to get the link out there via people who know the customer personally can get a great deal of links.
3. Profile sites
Yes, many social bookmarking sites and networking sites don’t have followed links. But remember that it isn’t only search engine spiders that crawl the web, and what people see on the Internet isn’t always a direct result of a Google search. MySpace, Dig, Facebook, Delicious, Frappr, Newsvine, Yahoo 360 … real people read these sites and may follow the links from them.
4. Images used without credit
Creative commons images are supposed to be used with a link and credit. Using image identification tools, link building services can discover where your sites images have been used without identification, and contact the website owner asking for the proper credit … and link!
5. Quotables
Ask for a quote from somebody at a company in your niche to use in your site’s press release. Publish it on site, and then your link building service can contact the quoted person, offering the chance to republish whole on their website with a live link back to the customer’s site.
