Loading ...Links are important to your site, but they can be absolutely worthless if they’re not just right. The way some webmasters discuss links, you would think that every one of them is gold. Not true. Some links are naturally more valuable than others, and these are the ones that are incredibly difficult to get hold of.
The best possible inbound link for your search engine optimization is one that leads from a relevant page, which uses anchor text containing your page’s keywords, and which comes from a high-ranking website. This is a lot to ask of any link, but it is possible, with some manoeuvring, to get at least some of these factors for every link in your profile.
Links are essential
You can’t get far into search engine optimization as a process without realizing how valuable links are to a site. As time goes by, the things that a site owner controls are becoming less valuable in terms of SEO. The reason for this is growing distrust on the part of the search engines. Anything that a site owner has control over is suspect, because it can be used to manipulate the search engines.
Although site owners can exert some control over the links that come into their site, that control is limited. As a consequence, the search engines are coming to place ever more importance on link profiles. Every link coming into your site is essentially an unprompted vote of confidence from the world at large. The search engines use this to judge the true value of your site to internet users.
Links that you can control are best
It’s not easy to uncover valuable links of any kind. Unfortunately, although they are fairly insubstantial, links are as scarce as any other valuable resource. Even more unfortunate is the fact that the absolute most valuable links are those that are high-quality ones that you can control.
The top-quality, controllable link is a bit of a mythical beast, and most site owners can’t hope to find them. Talk to us at SEO Consult Australia about link building. The best you can usually do is look for links you can control, and look for links that are top-quality, and do the best you can with each.
Some ways to exert control
The reason most top-quality links are impossible to control is because they come from high-ranking websites. If someone approached your site and not only asked you for a link but dictated how that link should be set up, you’d probably tell them to take a hike. You can expect the same reaction from any website you try to control the links for.
When you want to control your links, you have two options. You can either try to make the best of links you have absolute control over, such as those in directories and article hosting sites, or you can try to influence the links you have little control over. To make the best of your high-quality links, concentrate on building relationships with other site owners.
