Finding Links For SEO
October 7th, 2008 by Nick
Search engine optimisation requires a combination of on page and off page optimisation. On Page Optimisation Techniques include the writing of optimised content, the proper construction of meta and HTML tags, and the provision of indexable navigation as well as many other techniques. Off Page Optimisation, on the other hand, is the building of a link profile that includes many high quality and relevant links. Combining these two techniques of optimisation will help improve rankings and drive relevant search engine traffic to your website.
Building A Link Profile
Building a link profile is the more arduous aspect of search engine optimisation, and one that will not only require extensive work in the first place but a continued drive to find new link partners. A link partner is essentially just another page or website that will publish a link to one of your pages from their own. Unfortunately, though, not all links offer the same benefit and they certainly aren’t all as beneficial as one another.
The Anatomy Of A Relevant Link
A good search engine optimisation link should be relevant and high quality. Relevance is a continuing attribute throughout search engine optimisation. In terms of a relevant link, this means that a link to your page should come from a page that is based on a similar topic. It should also use a relevant keyword as the anchor text that is displayed on the page. Finding relevant links can prove difficult because many relevant pages on the Internet would be considered competitive to your own.
High Quality Search Engine Optimisation Links
As well as considering the relevance of inbound links, one also needs to consider the quality of those links. Ten high quality links from relevant pages can prove much more beneficial than a hundred or a thousand low quality links. The quality of a link is partially determined by the quality of the page that provides that link. Better quality pages are considered to be authority or trusted sites by the search engines and a link from one of these pages will be given a lot of weight in determining the success of your search engine optimisation campaign.
Finding Link Sources
High quality links aren’t always easy to come by. When you first start search engine optimisation you will need to find several techniques to locate good link sources. Some of the more popular and successful techniques include article marketing, Social Media Optimisation, and press release distribution. Creating high quality content that others will want to link to will also help build your link profile over time. The more successful search engine optimisation campaign will include several link building techniques as well as the introduction of more unique methods.
Off Page Search Engine Optimisation
SEO combines on page and off page optimisation techniques in order to show the search engines that a website is high quality and is a valuable source of information to its readers. A good quality link is seen as verification of that quality by the search engines and a lot of your search engine optimisation concentration should be placed on the identification and acquisition of these links over the life of your search engine optimisation.

And if you are using link exchange, you have to be very selective and be very careful. Finally you can use forums and blogs for your link building.
