Link Popularity
If you are new with Web Hosting and/or Web Design there's some
things that you need to know before you think about link
exchange or link popularity. First if you don't have a domain
name or you don't have a web hosting you need to go and take a
look to this article Things you should know
about Web Hosting. If you have your domain name and you
already choose a web hosting you need to know a little more
about Link Exchange, Inbound Link and Link Popularity.
Link Popularity - If you want people to be able to get to
your website you need to have Link Exchange and/or inbound link
in your website. The reason for this is that theres too many
pages on the internet right now that if the search engines don't
know that you exists you'll web site will never get to be shown
on the search engines. This means that if your page is not on
the search engines the only way to people go to your website is
if they know your domain name or if you advertised the site in
magazines, newspapers, or other methods of advertising.
Link Exchange or Reciprocal Links - No matter how big or
small is your website you should have links exchange to help you
get on the top positions on the search engines. You'll hear or
read a lot of articles that tells you that its better to have
only inbound links and this is good but with my own experience I
can tell you that having Link Exchange and Inbound links at the
same time had help me a lot in my websites to be on a decent
ranking on the search engines. You can find a lot of Link
Exchange programs out there some free and some that you have to
paid, if you want or needs more information about those you can
visit this page. Just have in mind that you need to choose
whatever is best for your business and for your budget.
Inbound Links - This type of links are the one that you
can get from writing articles and posting articles in different
web sites. Another way to get inbound links is trying to reach a
webmaster form a website and some how negotiate with that person
to see if they add a link to your website without you having to
add a link in your website to them. In this type of links you
pretty much can find services out there that you have to pay to
get inbound links going to your web site. If you want more
information about this type of link you can visit this page.
Have in mind that Link Popularity is only on part of the puzzle
in Search Engine Optimization because if you don't have the
right content on your page for the keywords that you are trying
to rank then you are kind of wasting your time and your money. I
hope that this article helps you to understand more about how
Link Popularity works.
