Improving the Link Popularity Of Your Site

Written by Sumantra Roy


Continued from page 1

6) Writing articles and allowing them to be re-published

This is by far one ofrepparttar best ways of improvingrepparttar 118417 link popularity of your site, and one of my favorites. Whenever I write an article on search engine placement, I first publish it in my newsletter and then I publishrepparttar 118418 article in my site as a separate web page. I also submit it torepparttar 118419 following article submission sites:

http://www.ezinearticles.com/add_url.html http://www.ideamarketers.com http://www.marketing-seek.com/articles/submit.shtml http://certificate.net/wwio/ideas.shtml http://www.web-source.net/articlesub.htm

Many webmasters and ezine publishers frequent these article directories in search of articles. Submitting my articles to these directories gives themrepparttar 118420 opportunity of re-publishing my articles. While I have had some success with each ofrepparttar 118421 above directories, by farrepparttar 118422 best among them isrepparttar 118423 ezinearticles.com directory.

Now, atrepparttar 118424 end of each article, I mention that people are free to re-publishrepparttar 118425 article as long as they include my resource box (i.e. my bio) atrepparttar 118426 end ofrepparttar 118427 article. I always includerepparttar 118428 URL of my site inrepparttar 118429 resource box. This means that whenever someone publishes one of my articles in his/her web site, I have another site linking to my site. Also, many ezine publishers archive their ezines in their web sites. If they have re-published my article in a particular issue, I again get a link.

Writing articles is also an excellent viral marketing tool. As some webmasters and ezine publishers publish my articles, other webmasters and ezine publishers will read my article. Some of them, in turn, will publish my article, which will again be read by other webmasters and ezine publishers, some of whom will publish it... and so on.

Also, since only web sites related to mine would be interested in publishing my articles, all these links tend to come from related sites, which, as I mentioned earlier, are more valuable than links from unrelated sites.

Writing articles, of course, has another very important benefit - if you write good articles, it makes you known as an expert in your field. This helps to improve your credibility, which makes people more comfortable about buying your products or services.

Some notes about writing articles:

i) I have learnt through experience that some webmasters will publish other people's articles and will displayrepparttar 118430 complete resource box but will not link torepparttar 118431 URL mentioned inrepparttar 118432 resource box. In order to prevent this, you need to explicitly state thatrepparttar 118433 article can be published only ifrepparttar 118434 URL mentioned inrepparttar 118435 resource box is linked to your site.

ii) Your resource box should not be too long - it should be no more than 6 lines long, formatted at 65 characters per line. Otherwise, other webmasters and ezine publishers will hesitate to publish your article.

7) Submitting torepparttar 118436 directories

This is by farrepparttar 118437 most important step as far as improvingrepparttar 118438 link popularity of your site is concerned. As I mentioned before, what is important is not onlyrepparttar 118439 number of links to your site, but alsorepparttar 118440 quality ofrepparttar 118441 links to your site. No links are as important as links from some ofrepparttar 118442 major directories like Yahoo!,repparttar 118443 Open Directory etc. However, Yahoo! currently requires a payment of $299 per year in order to list any commercial site. Paying them $299 per year just to improve your link popularity is probably not cost effective. But,repparttar 118444 Open Directory is free, and you should definitely get your site listed inrepparttar 118445 Open Directory.

Also, you should submit your site to as many ofrepparttar 118446 smaller directories as possible. You can get a list of such directories at http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Internet/World_Wide_W eb/Searching_the_Web/Search_Engines_and_Directories/.

8) Exchanging links with other webmasters

The single-most effective way of improvingrepparttar 118447 link popularity of your site is to exchange links with other webmasters who have sites which are related to yours, but are not direct competitors. This is called reciprocal linking.

However,repparttar 118448 problem with this method isrepparttar 118449 sheer amount of time it takes if you were to do it manually.

If you decide to do this manually, you can easily expect to spend hundreds of hours on this activity alone.

Here's what you need to do:

i) You need to userepparttar 118450 search engines to find sites related to yours that are not direct competitors by typing in some keywords that are related to your site.

ii) You also need to find sites that link to your competitors.

iii) You need to visit these sites and see if they actually exchange links.

iv) If you decide that you want to exchange links with a particular site, you need to find out exactly how it wants you to link to it from your site.

v) You then need to manually add a link to this site in your site.

vi) Then, you need to find outrepparttar 118451 email address ofrepparttar 118452 owner ofrepparttar 118453 website and sendrepparttar 118454 owner a personalized email requesting that he/she adds a link to your site in return.

vii) In many cases, you will not be able to locaterepparttar 118455 email address ofrepparttar 118456 owner simply becauserepparttar 118457 owner has not published any email address onrepparttar 118458 site. In that case, allrepparttar 118459 effort that you had put into evaluating whether or notrepparttar 118460 site is suitable for exchanging links will have been a waste of time.

viii) If you do manage to locaterepparttar 118461 email address, you need to send a personalized and customized email torepparttar 118462 website owner.

ix) You then need to wait and see whether this site is willing to exchange links with you.

x) Ifrepparttar 118463 site is not willing to link to you, you need to removerepparttar 118464 link torepparttar 118465 site from your site. Once again, allrepparttar 118466 effort that you had put into evaluatingrepparttar 118467 site, linking to it and sending an email torepparttar 118468 owner will have been a waste of time.

You have to repeatrepparttar 118469 same process all over again forrepparttar 118470 next site that you want to exchange links with.

Obviously, there has to be a better way. And there is!

Luckily for you, I have developed a ground-breaking new software called LinkExplore that completely automatesrepparttar 118471 entire process of exchanging links with other website owners, thus saving you hundreds of hours of your time.

I had originally developedrepparttar 118472 software for my own needs but later decided to make it available to other website owners as well. Go torepparttar 118473 following URL to learn more aboutrepparttar 118474 software: http://www.LinkExplore.com/t.php?4901
