Title: Many People Are Making These Link Building Mistakes
Post by: Beaker on 09-21-2012, 12:44:33

Seo link building is a the forefront of current site optimization strategies and is very effective. There is no questioning the fact that certain types of backlinks play a major role in getting your site on the first page of search engines and keeping them there for a long time. How will it payoff? The easy answer is that you will profit from the increase of traffic. Everyone that depends on the search engines for traffic place a lot of emphasis on link building to get their sites ranking higher, and because of this there is a lot of confusion and disagreement about what works or not. Sadly, most linkbuilders are going after it the wrong way. You need to watch what site you link from because many may not you help at all.

Some of the resulting links can work against your site. The most important part of building links to your site is doing it in a natural way. The search engines are designed to pickup on any "unnatural" patterns and will always penalize you when your site is breaking the rules. Don't game the system like most others and you will have a competitive advantage over those that use "flavor-of-the-week" tactics. That's why when you try to do the whole process manually; it can get quite tricky as you try to get the right links. Most people don't want to get into the details of link building and go out there and start grabbing as many links as they can from whatever source they find. This will guarantee failure everytime.

There are some link building methods that can seriously damage your business, read on to find out which ones.

Aside from creating one way backlinks to your site, one efficient way to build links quickly is to join a link exchange. However, you have to use caution before spending money on any link building efforts, as not everyone is honest. One common scam, for example, is getting you to pay for a backlink that quickly disappears or becomes "no follow," which makes it useless to you. Unfortunately, it's necessary to watch your links after you purchase them to verify that they are "do follow" and still in place a couple of weeks after you buy them. There are so many people selling backlinks and link building services today that you can't simply trust them all; it's necessary to look into their reputation and make sure they really do the work they promise to do.

Seeking quantity over quality is the biggest mistake people make when grabbing backlinks. You might assume that 10 links are better than 1. The way it works, however, is that the search engines place a higher value on certain kinds of links than others. What you want are high quality links, not simply a large number of links. For instance, having a backlink coming from an authority site is way better than getting 10 links from low-quality sites that are spammy. The fact is that getting low quality links can never equal getting backlinks from popular sites in your niche. Your website can even lose ground in the rankings if the search engines see too many low quality links and label you a spammer or black hat marketer. Don't try to find a quick fix when it comes to building links. Face the fact that building links takes some time and work, and focus on creating high caliber content on your own site while finding well regarded sites in your niche to network and exchange links with.

You need to understand that PageRank (PR) only applies to individual pages and is not measuring the strength of an entire website. For example, you may have a 5 page site: 2 pages may have be PR5 and the other 3 may be PR 3. Knowing the PR of any page will payoff for you and your site down the later on.

When it comes to link building, one mistake can have serious implications for your web site. Paying attention to these guidelines can help you avoid making costly mistakes.

Totally agree with you, these mistakes are very common these days. People tend to go for such stupid ideas and end up getting caught by Google Panda.

Older sites will likely to have a High PR. But I don't think that we should use PR as the measurement for the site. Instead we should look at the traffic on your site. And Traffic I think is the most important.

Once upon a time, before the phrase "content marketing" was ever en vogue, you could contact a few like-minded webmasters in your niche to exchange links, submit some articles to Ezinearticles or sites like that and leave comments on blogs with your link.

I often let the links created naturally since I have no resources to build links. I spend most of my time on writing new content to my site and the result is so far very good. Anyway, the tips are nice. Thanks for share!
