Helpful Link Building Tips

Anyone who is interested in climbing on SERP’s (search engine results page) needs to understand that while link building may be very time consuming and frustrating, it is essential to getting those desired rankings. Google’s latest algorithm update, aka “Panda”, focuses on recognizing unnatural links and penalizing websites that have them or have not made an effort to remove them. Panda cracked down on some of the following techniques: paid links or link exchanges i.e. through link farms -(Pay us only $50 a month and we will get you 50 links with a PageRank of 3-5), links that consistently have unnatural anchor text, excessive link acquisition, and misusing numerous “feeder” sites or other domains you own for link building.

First you should focus on getting your website listed in all the major search engines if it isn’t there already. Next plan on getting listed in some directories that are relevant to your business or the content on your site. Do not submit your website endlessly just because it is a directory. If your website has content that is related to the state of Florida, search for Florida directories. An important directory to submit your website to is www.dmoz.org (Open Directory Project) because it’s a human edited directory and is well respected. Continue to focus on getting quality links with effective social media techniques such as social bookmarking. Another idea is to consult with webmasters or companies that have similar content on their website and see if you can build a relationship. Link building is a long process but it will pay off in the end.

I commonly use the website www.seomoz.org for tips and latest trends in SEO. I came across an article by Paddy Moogan which gives 8 link building tips, some of which I did not even know about. Hey, learn something new every day!

Enjoy. Here is a snippet from Moogan’s article:

“For today’s Whiteboard Friday, I’ll be covering eight tips to help you build more links. This follows on from my talk at MozCon which covered 35 ways to get links in around 35 minutes.

At MozCon, I explained how link building is hard, it takes time and can be very tough for most of us. Unfortunately for most of us, it isn’t as simple as just producing content which automatically gets links. Our content needs a push to make it get links, and over time, it does become easier if you build the right relationships.

These techniques can help you build those relationships with the right people in your niche and get the links you deserve. Not only now, but in the future. Let’s get to it and I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments.”

Thank you Profit Gate for helping us get our ecommerce site up and running. We had tried twice before to do it on our own without success. We needed a lot of help and Julie and Sandra really came through for us. We have always been a small, regional distributor, now we have the same exposure as the big guys and are selling our products all over the country.

After many months of trying to decide if I was ready to take the plunge into opening an online store I finally felt it was time to take my business the next level. Dan, Julie and Sandra at Profit Gate were all very instrumental in helping me make this decision. I had an existing website that was very lackluster, Julie redesigned my website and added a shopping cart feature that is just exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to everyone at Profit Gate!

- Robert Quick

With a web site like ours, that is not the more common type of information, Profit Gate did a great job and was very patient when dealing with our technical aspects and wants. Whenever I need changes from simple to more complex, they are ready to get it done and make great suggestions along the way. High marks for them indeed!

- Art Galietti

Your knowledgeable and courteous personnel suggested ways to draw customers to the new web site. Profit Gate provides a professional design, web support as needed, and we have found they are “tweaking” the content continuously. We appreciate the time you have spent putting the Web Site together. We have had a crazy summer and I would not have had the time to work on any design and, even if I had, it would not look professional. Thank you,

- Becky Ware

Although my website looked decent before, Profit Gate has definitely made our company look much better! Their professional staff captured exactly what I wanted and brought it to life. Best of all, the fee for doing this was considerably less that I’d expect for such high quality work.

- Bob Circosta

We just want to tell you that we got our first lead from the new website yesterday! They have inquired about a new pool with outdoor kitchen and fireplace. Thank you again! This new website is exactly what we needed!

- Sharon Michel

I really felt confident that Profit Gate could design the website I needed to help drive new business. As I saw the website progressing, I was blown away at how nice it was. Since the completion, we have received very positive customer feedback as well as an influx of new customers. I am very happy with the website and the job done by Profit Gate technical personnel.

I have been a loyal customer to Profit Gate since 2006. The personal attention and support they have given us is great! They have helped us with a very affordable search optimization program. Profit Gate created a pay per click program as well as natural rankings that have given us first page rankings on Google. For our industry specific products like fasteners for the metal roofing and building industry, this has been very productive. In addition to many US clients we have developed we are now shipping these products to most of the islands in the Caribbean and Canada. This is all due to the search optimization Profit Gate has done for us. I would highly recommend them to any business that is looking to grow and gain visibility for their products!

- Greg Hoffstetter

From start to finish Profit Gate made it easy to increase our business with a very upscale website. Everyone asks “who did your web site?” We tell them “only the best, Profit Gate!
