A great way to build your page ranking for your website is through effective backlink strategies. One of the most popular if not the most popular search engine is Google. You can either pay Google to list your website on its sponsored listing, which you see on the right hand side of the search engine results page, on a pay per click basis or you can work the system and get ranked for free on the organic listings.
On the left hand side of the search engine page is the organic listings. These listings are free. The objective is to get listed on the first page. But as you can guess there is a lot of competition to get on the first page. One way Google determines which websites get the coveted first page ranking is based on the number of back links a website has. That is links from other websites linking to your website. Google also looks at the content on your website and the keyword distribution related to the content on your website. But let us concentrate on back links for now.
You want, as a website owner, to have as many back links to your website as possible. One way is to find websites that are related to your website and ask that website owner to place a link from his site to your site. Of course you tell him that you will place a link from your site to his site.
If you are selling daily planners and accessories you can have information on how to save money on your tax return. You can then place a link on your website to a website about tax preparation. Then contact the owner of that tax website and let him or her know you have placed a backlink on your website and if he or she would place a backlink on her site to your website.
You might even offer to write an article on daily planners and how they can help with keeping tax records. You can then send that to the tax website owner with your backlink to make it easy for him to set up a backlink for you. You can also join forums and submit helpful answers and then include a link to your website in the source box. Yahoo answers has numerous categories to choose from.
Another way to build back links is to answer questions on forums. Most forums allow you to place a website link in the source box of your answer. There is nothing wrong with you listing your link to your website so people can go there to read more related information. Watch out though that you do not make your answer a commercial for your website. You might get banned from the forum for trying to sell instead of trying to help people.
And of course submitting articles to an online article directory is a good way to build backlinks. Remember to include your website link on your article. When people place your article on there websites you will have backlinks.
Google you have to know penalizes websites that get too many back links too fast. So the best backlink strategies should take four to eight months in order to not be hurt by Google. But be creative and you will be rewarded with higher listings on the organic search side of the search engines.
