The Key to SEO: Backlinking
In the world of Internet marketing one term you will constantly here about if you are looking to market your website and get more traffic is ‘Backlinking”. Now search engines take backlinking into account when assigning search rankings. Backlinking refers to sites that link to you. While the quantity of backlinks is certainly important, the quality of those backlinks is perhaps even more important. Backlink sources that are more well-known and credible lend more weight and can give you a higher ranking.
For example, a government organization, an educational institution or a non-profit organization (with domains of .gov, .edu, or .org) often has more credibility than a commercial site. If a non-commercial entity linked to you, this would be an excellent backlink, since it indicates to search engines that a respected non-commercial site “endorses” or “refers” you.
If an unknown or unfamiliar website, with little or poor content, linked to your site, it adds less value to the backlink. Some unscrupulous site owners might actually own both sites and try to increase backlinks in this manner.
As to how to gain backlinks, it is important to identify sources with credibility in your industry, and to cultivate relationships with these sources so they will refer to your website. You can offer to contribute content (and include your web address in the content) if you are recognized as a knowledge expert in the industry. You can also participate in forum discussions and comment on posts, and include your web address in those posts, too, but do so in a natural way.
When looking to build your website traffic and search engine rank you cannot engage in professional negligence and it is best to be consistent with your backlinking efforts. The more you do it the higher you site is likely to rank.
