Loading ...Today, link building is seen as the most important manners of search engine optimisation that is done off-page. Back links that point to your website are not only weighted by number. Back links are also weighed by the search engines according to relevance. The search engines have adjusted their algorithms so that people can no longer link to totally unrelated websites.
Thus, at the moment the larger number of links your website can have from authoritative sites and pages, the better. It is a known fact that the best ranking potential for your website comes from websites that are high profile and have an excellent online reputation.
A different view of link building
Everyone learns about the best way to build good back links, but how often do people ask themselves how fast or how slow they should build links. In reality many newer websites would not even have thought about this at all. Most of them only want to build links as fast as possible and give no thought that there might be consequences. So let’s look at why website owners should have a steady rate of link building and what is considered too fast or too slow.
Search engines look at links from a freshness point of view and how old the links are. Search engines also look at the behaviour of links. They look at whether they suddenly appear and disappear over a time period. Search engines sniff out trends.
Build realistically and with caution
Therefore, logically a steady as well as gradual link building is advisable. This does not mean that if your website sprouts a large number of links overnight, that it will trigger alarms. Whether red flags start waving will depend on the standing of your own website and most importantly, exactly where those links come from. Search engines are not stupid, if a large number of links some from many different sources that are not related.
Fast, slow or steady
New websites too often still fall into the link farming trap as they want to build as fast as possible. Link farms are deeply frowned upon by the search engines. So instead of getting your website noticed in a bad by the search engines, focus on relevance and quality. So is there a right speed to build links at and when is too fast? Most optimisation consultants agree that a steady link building of between 5 and 10 per week is acceptable.
Yet these links must be qualified and not be coming from link farms or directories that are pushing traffic to you. The fact is that link building is hugely important, that is fact. However, trying to grab links instead of using other effective search engine optimisation tactics as well is simply not wise.
The more people try to bypass ethical ways to optimise and get quality links, the more the SEs will evolve. Already websites are prevented from linking to totally inappropriate websites. The relevance factor has been added for links and ranking. Fewer quality links are far better for a website’s online reputation. Avoid linking with dodgy websites that take you down with them.
