Home | Tip of the Week | I found over 100 on-topic, incoming links to . . .
 

I found over 100 on-topic, incoming links to one of my websites I didn't even know I had. Here's what happened and how you can do it too.

With this many incoming links you will be way ahead of the pack for most keyword phrases.

We all know that the way to increase the PageRank and the number of interested visitors to our websites is to have a lot of on-topic, incoming links. Link farms could spell trouble and getting recipical links is not easy. What should we do?

Consider this: Why do people visit websites in the first place? . . . They want information and/or they want to buy something. The easy thing to do is to provide them with what they want . . . information.

If you provide a lot of useful information on your website, visitors, high PageRank and incoming links will all come.

Consider adding one new page of content a week (or one a day) and you will get this kind of results. You will probably have to do a lot of reading and studying to be able to come up with this much information, but that will help make you an expert on your subject. How long has it been since you added a new page to your website?

The 100+ websites that linked to one of my sites did it because my website had a LOT of free information that they thought would be of interest to their visitors.

Add new pages of content to your website constantly and make it easy for other sites to link to you by adding a "Link to us" page showing them how (and making it easy) to link to you.

As an added bonus, link all of your new pages back to your home page and maybe back to all of your other pages (depending on your linking strategy). This will increase the PageRank for all of your pages.

Botton line: Spend your time adding content instead of trying to find a way to trick Google and other search engines.
