Website Marketing Strategies - Increasing Your Link Popularity

Jan 26, 2006 -

For those of you not familiar with the term, it's simply a means to increase your search engine popularity by providing other sites with links to your site. This helps to increase your search engine rankings and the chances of you getting better search engine positioning for keywords that you use on your website. In essence, having links to your website increases your website's chances of being searched for in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN and others.

You may be wondering how you can increase your search engine ranking by using various link building methods. It is important that you understand that there are a number of different factors that will determine your rankings. This article will help you learn more about some of these factors, as well as some of the ways to use them to increase your ranking in the search engines.

The most effective method of link building that you can use for boosting your ranking is to use article marketing. As the name implies, article marketing allows you to submit content to article directories. You can have the content written by yourself or you can use an article directory as a resource to submit your articles to.

Many website owners choose to include backlinks in their websites because this helps them to get listed in the search engines, but without many people looking at your website, you have little chance of getting ranked high. You can try using different types of keywords in your articles so that they will have a higher chance of ranking high in the search engines for your niche, but it is important to remember that using too many keywords can hurt your website.

One of the most popular methods for increasing your SEO rankings is through press releases. You can write one of these press releases about any topic that interests you and submit it to various news sites that cater to your niche. These sites will generally accept submissions for free and many times will even write for you. If they do not accept your submission, you can contact the site owner to find out if you can have your press release published by them instead.

Finally, another popular website marketing strategy that has proven to be effective for many webmasters is having blog posts on your website. By having an article on your website that relates to the topic of your website, it will get linked back to your website from other blogs that are related to your niche and this will improve your search engine ranking.
