Off-Page Search Engine Optimization Tips

If you aren’t getting links to your site then you are really going to struggle getting listed in the search engines.

When you are doing your link campaign, make sure that your linking text is keyword targeted. For example, if I wrote an article promoting this site, instead of just having a link like this www.forfreedom.ws I would use a link like this instead Affiliate Marketing for Dummies .

John Hartley of Really Useful Marketing has some great pointers about linking and off-page search engine optimization techniques from authority sites.

Thanks for the article John.

Off-Page Search Engine Optimization Tips

The best way to improve the ranking of your web pages is to get it better known among other sites – especially those that are considered ‘authority’ sites by the search engines.
There is a method of doing this, and it does take time. Even so, doing this job gradually is the best way of doing it. For example, do not use programs or services that claim to submit your site to 2,000 search engines and directories, because most of these are listings that are never seen.

What do I mean by that? Well, what it means is that your site appears on a page which shows the latest sites – for about 15 seconds. Then it disappears off the page into an archive that is not linked, so it becomes invisible.

Get links from directories and sites

The best way to go about this is to submit your site to 30-40 minor directories, which you can find in various lists on the web. Some ask for links back, but it is best to ignore these.

Then, it is important to exchange links with 30-40 good sites, which do not necessarily appear in your niche.

In addition, you will need to contact them and ask for a link, and from time to time you will need to monitor the links to see whether they are still linking to you. This can be automated. Here is an excellent tool.

Articles and authority sites

Another good way of getting links to your site – and thus getting it known – is to submit articles about your subject to article directory sites. There are plenty on the internet, and this operation can be semi-automated as well.

One of the best ways of getting a good ranking is to see how the top listed sites for your keywords do it. This can take a long time manually, and you can’t really do it all yourself.

But the best way of improving your ranking is to get links from ‘authority sites’. You can find out how to get this and all these other things done quickly by a proven tool, here. You will find it really does the job.
