Any webmaster looking to build continuous traffic from
search engines needs to understand the importance of text
links and how to use them. There are many factors to
understand that can be revealed when researching this topic.
First, it is important to understand how most search
engines rank websites. Each search engine is somewhat
similar in the way it ranks sites but each search engine
holds an algorithm as their trade secret. The algorithm is
the formula which calculates all the different aspects of a
website and uses the information gathered to compare and
rank against different websites for a given search inquiry.
What is common knowledge between most search engine
specialists is that incoming links to a website seem to be
the most important and controllable aspect when ranking a
website. When a website links to you it is casting a vote
for your website within search engines. Understand that
some votes are worth more than others. A website that is
relevant to your content is of high value as well as a
website that has many votes for itself. Along with
building links you will want to make sure that your website
is search engine friendly. This includes many aspects of a
website such as META tags, accurate spelling, clean layout,
unique content, and proper grammar.
A webmaster should skip submitting a website to search
engines if you plan on building links. Search engine send
out spiders that follow links within web pages that will
index your page within a matter of days rather than paying
and waiting for weeks to get manually indexed within a
search engine. Just a single link that is indexed within
search engines will normally automatically list your
website within each search engine the initial site is
listed within.
A question you may have at this point is "why text links?"
The reason is that when the vote is placed for your website
it is analyzed. At this point it has been found to take
the most advantage of your vote that your link text should
be that of the keyword or key phrase that you are trying to
increase your rank within search engines. Banner and
graphic ads will provide more direct traffic from the
linking website but it will not help in search engines as
much.
Text links can be obtained in many ways. The most common
are through link exchanges, forum postings, social book
marking, article marketing, and paid advertisement.
Providing unique quality content and tools from your
website can also generate links from your actual visitors
over time. It is always important to place a "link to us"
area on your website providing easy to use link
instructions to your website visitors. Every link counts!
