Links play a vital role with any local Search Engine Optimization effort. They are Internet road signs which provide directions for the browsers and web spiders. Links come in several forms: internal, external, anchor links, and back links.
Internal links are links that point to other pages within any web site. These internal links and can be used effectively as part of your website SEO by turning them into anchor links.
Anchor Links are text links that take you to a specific web page or URL. These links are very valuable in the SEO and SEM process. Anchor links do more than just point toward a web site. They can also tell the search spiders specifically what the web site is about. These links are useful for both the search engine and the website user.
External Links are perhaps the most critical form of web links. Who links to your web site will greatly affect your search engine ranking, positioning, and Page Rank (PR). A good example of this is a house cleaning website linked to a blog on house cleaning tips. Quality links tell the search engines that you are important and boost your search ranking.
You may think of links as a positive vote for your web site, but creating links just to have them will actually hurt your efforts. Search engines have made it clear that they look down on useless or unrelated links.
Slow and steady link building is the new mantra of SEO. Links are best developed slowly and over time. Search engine preferences changes over time. In early 2007, Google made the slow, steady approach part of its most recent patent application.
The changing view about the importance of links is a good example of the ever-evolving world of search. It wasn’t that long ago that link exchanges were a good practice in SEO. Now this practice can actually hurt your search results.
Warning: Do not buy or sell Links! An ongoing battle is being waged by Google to downgrade websites that are involved in the buying or selling of links. Google has stated this practice corrupts their search results!
