Web link exchanges

[sandnsea]

Do you ignore this essential ingredient to search engine success for your web site. Do you pay for googleads, but ignore link requests. Do you give links to govt web sites, like the local chamber, but ignore the local private web business.

If so, why. What would convince you to change your policies.

1. SEO / Organic Search Engine Optimization Link Building Advice

Hi there,

I've given the subject of SEO / Organic Search Engine Optimization link building a lot of thought over most of the past decade. My SEO Company, Positronic Design, has optimized many dozens of web sites for all kinds of generic and local organic keywords.

My basic thesis is this. You want high PageRank sites to link to your site, particularly on relevant pages, especially from within the page's body copy. Linking out from your site to other sites that also contain relevant keywords (but are not direct competitors), is also valuable, but not nearly as much, and for different reasons.

For more of my opinions on this, see my SEO Company Blog, SEOCompanyMassachusetts.com.

I'm always open to new information on these subjects as they're very important and the landscape changes constantly.

2. Hi, Dave...

I just wanted to say hello, and welcome to DU. :hi:

The SEO landscape does change so rapidly, and many entrepreneurs like myself can't keep up with it (nor afford fees to pay others to do it, either). I know it's important, but time is so limited and just doesn't leave much room to stay abreast of the latest and greatest SEO tools.

I'll check out your site and hopefully you offer some guidance there.

Thanks for being here. :)

3. SEO With News, Sports, Politics and Fashion Blogs

Hi again,

One area you might want to think about is creating a news blog about current topics, like this one News, Sports, Politics and Fashion.

If you can get people interested in your content, and they wind up linking to your blog, then your blog's link to you will be worth more.

Blogs about news, sports, politics and fashion are very popular, and are a great way to encourage traffic and build quality links to your own important sites.

Hope this is helpful.
