Increase Links Naturally With Link Popularity Building

I found this little article by Wendy Suto and decided it was exactly the type of thing which belongs on Project AdSense or the AdSense Project or whatever this site is called:

Businesses can gain a competitive edge with Google and other significant search engines through relevant link building strategies. The search engines track links in ranking algorithms while crawling the Web. It is advantageous to grow the number of incoming links to your company’s site alongside effective search engine optimization techniques.

There are numerous link building solutions.

1. Free and paid link directories

Link directories all provide either one-way or reciprocal links. Some are free, while others are paid only. Link directories are beneficial because Websites that place your link on their site without requesting a link back to their site are considered more valuable than reciprocal or link exchanges, in the eyes of major search engines. There are many reputable directory sites that are well trafficked by potential buyers for your product. You will find one-way and reciprocal link directories by typing into any search engine search box, keywords like “submit a link”, “add a URL”, or “add link”.

Some small business owners will only link to sites that link back to their site. This creates reciprocal links pages and triangular link patterns. Reciprocal links do not improve a Website’s rankings, and should only be done to give value to your site visitors. This is not a savvy SEO tactic or a wise link building practice. Stay clear of SEO companies who use these link exchange strategies; they are not considered real SEOs by other professionals in the field.

2. Business Blogging

This is an ever growing Internet trend gaining in popularity with businesses – corporate blogs. Blogging started as personal spaces for individuals to share their thoughts and the events around them, like an online diary. Corporate blogging is then defined as another way to publish business-related content and gain more visibility for your company on the Web. By offering information and sharing knowledge, a company can quickly establish itself as a leading industry expert, get information to customers quickly, increase sales, attract journalists seeking news releases, and attract new customers looking for relevant information.

3. Article Directory Submissions

Article directories are sites that house free reprint articles, allowing authors (people like you) to become known as experts in a field or industry. These sites help authors gain one-way link popularity because others seeking free articles to reprint on their newsletters, Websites, blogs and in print can find them here. Reprint articles can only be used elsewhere if providing a link back to the author’s Website. You also receive free advertising and promotion.

4. Press releases

Submit your company’s news releases to sites like PRWeb.com and PRNewswire.com to allow journalists and bloggers to find important information about your company, its products and services. These releases also build links to your site, and attract attention from prospective buyers.

5. MySpace.com

This is a tremendous opportunity for free publicity, through networking with prospects from around the world. Place your business profile, your company logo and business pictures, commercials and videos, write comments on other myspace.com profiles, receive email, instant message, and search for prospective clients. MySpace.com also has a business section that is cost effective and a great way to share your business with people searching for a certain product or service. This is another way to increase your link popularity.

6. Yahoo! Answers

This site is relatively new, and lets people in all industries become an expert in their fields. Answer questions in categories related to your expertise. Choose a subject from an extensive list of categories. Create a profile on Yahoo!, and you get to list up to 3 other one-way links. Yahoo! Geocities offers free a Website template and tools to build a simple Website. All these avenues add a host of easy ways to increase link popularity for your business.

7. One-Way Links on other Business Sites

Even with these link building strategies, having one-way links are considered much more valuable than link exchanges, also called reciprocal links. One way links from other related business sites or blogs with pertinent subject matter to the Website is an excellent way to drive traffic to your site. Although it is time consuming asking other sites to link to your site, these methods will assist in building stronger link popularity interest among the major search engines.

8. Business Networking Sites

FastPitchMedia.com and LinkedIn.com are two business networking sites that give professionals and business executives many resources under one place. These one-stop shops give professionals a lot of excellent exposure for free, by housing a database of business owners linked to each other’s online networks. Try something new! Create a profile through these sites, and you will reach other decision makers, stay in touch with others in your network, fill a key position, and keep contact information current.

Project AdSense #1 on Google

Of course, it's #1 for the search term "Project AdSense", but this confirms a number of things.

1) Domain name counts (even sub domain)
2) Page Title Counts
3) Irritating repetition of keyword phrases counts.

Of course, I'm getting absolutely no traffic on this site from that search term, but hey...it's nice to know that it's listed as #1 for even one search phrase.

Best AdSense Day Ever

Well, I had my best 3 day period ever this week. It's all thanks to UFC 68. I scored about 1500 visitors to http://mma.gocurious.com the day of the event, 2100 the day after and another 1400 two days after. Traffic has calmed back down to normal levels today.

I saw the ramp up start earlier this time, starting a week or more in advance of the event and peak traffic was three times what it was last month. That is very promising and makes me conclude that traffic increase goes up exponentially as your rank in google searches gets better. This makes perfect sense if you think about it. Most people who do a search click on the first or second item, going much below that there will be less and less. By the time you get to 15 or so, you're probably not getting clicked. So as an example, if there are 100,000 potential visitors on "UFC 68 Results", I would guess that first place gets at least 30,000-50,000 second getting 15,000 and it drops of quickly once you get below 6th place.

So, we'll see if I can climb another spot or two and get more visitors for April 7th UFC event. I am still promoting my other sites, alternating between recipes, the two christmas sites and halloween. DMOZ still hasn't listed any of my sites (they sure take their time).
