Top 5 Strategies for Getting Quality Back Links

Over period of time, search engines have become smarter in finding low quality web pages and links from automated link directories and other such black hat SEO oriented websites and web farms. If you use a paid link service that promises a lot of high Page Rank links for money or if you participate in a register for a fully automated linking system, chances are that the search engines may down grade your website ranking because you are trying to trick them and drive traffic to your website from these website which have low content quality.

The logic is simple common sense: if you can find an automated linking system, search engines like Google, Yahoo and other top ranked search engines can find it too. Do not try to cheat them, the search algorithms are very intelligent and have been developed by the best brains on earth.

If you want to get better rankings on search engines, the links that point to your website should be from websites, internet directories, blogs and other sources that are in focusing on the similar or same topic/s as your primary focus of your website.

1. Create a content rich website

Your website should offer high quality content that is unique and useful to the visitors. Creating a website that is only a collection of affiliate links will be penalized by the search engines in the future for certain. It is only a matter of time before the algorithms find it out and penalize your website by degrading your Page Rank. Also with lots of links, you cannot expect that other webmasters will link to your site. Create a website with good content.

People like to link to "How to" websites, website that list out top 10 lists and unique and special interest focused content. The more interesting your web page content is, the more likely it is that other websites will link to your site and thereby providing a good feedback for the search engine algorithms.

2. Focus to giving solutions

Do you specialize in a particular field? Then you will be able to put up solutions to the problems faced by people who encounter those issues. People will no only visit your website, but also link to your content rich and problem solving website.

You may contact the webmasters of sites that are related to the specific topic of your specialization and bloggers who have written about that topic. Inform people about your articles and website. There are good chances are that these websites will link back to your site.

3. Right Context of your website

What is the primary focus of your website? Over period of time, the effect of links from Internet directories has decreased but they are still a good way to put your website into the right context.

It is prudent to add and submit your website to correct directories and If many Internet directories list your website in the right category, then search engines will know that your website is related to that category and it will be much easier to get high rankings for keywords that are related to that category.

4. Get links to inner pages of your website and change your link texts

There are two strategies in getting back links. One method is to focus on your home page, which generally has the highest Page Rage (PR) and get back links to it from internet directories, blogs and other related websites.

It is good practice; that the websites that link to your website should use the keywords for which you want to get high rankings in the linked text. The texts should vary according to the various options for a any given key word / key phrase. Remember that if all web pages use exactly the same text to link to your site, this will look unnatural.

5. Clean up your website

It is important that your website should be errors free. It is very common to find websites that are not validated by World Wide Web Consortium tools and as such appear in poor light for the search engines. Use the valuators for HTML and CSS and strive to make it error free as per the document type defined in the document.

Getting the right kind of back links to your website is important, if you want to get high rankings on Google and other search engines. Create interesting and link worthy web pages, good design, fast loading, W3C validated HTML and CSS codes and then optimize the content of your website for search engines.

Once, you are sure that your web pages and home page are search engine as well as user-friendly and interesting, get the links to your website and your search engine rankings will increase, over period of time.
