Looking for a link building
program? It is
getting harder to compare these services by the day. The prices and
claims for these providers vary dramatically. This article will help
you spot a very key difference in knowing what programs really work and
what to look for.
What really works for creating
quality
backlinks.
- Having your site listed on a
recognized
site, not just a submission.
- Your site listed on public sites that
can
not be removed by the hired contractor.
- A steady increase of backlinks to your
site.
Submissions do
not always equal links.
The standard ad for a building program
will
offer you a certain number of "submissions". This will often be
accompanied by a report when the work is done to let you know your site
was submitted.
These submissions have most likely been
made
as promised, although checking this is almost as time consuming as
doing the work yourself. You may not recognize many of the websites and
directories your site has been submitted to. The problem is the search
engines may not either.
The next factor to consider is the
quality
offered by the campaign provider. Many of the submissions may go to
sites that have no page rank and are seldom ever indexed by the search
engines. If the site is not indexed you will not gain anything. If it
is submitted to a link farm you could get a negative factor in the eyes
of the search engine.
The Link Hostage Program
Some services will submit your site to a
large network of sites that they themselves own. Many of these sites
have a good PR rank and are indexed often. These submissions most often
do make the transition to becoming effective for site promotion.
Now that your site has benefited from
these
submissions and you see your site rankings improving you may wish to
cancel the service. However there are companies that upon canceling
your subscription will delete your site from there private network of
websites. This is what I refer to as the hostage services.
A steady increase of backlinks to
your site
As most of you know having a site that
has
little to no backlinks jumping to thousands of in a few days is just
not natural. This strategy can help you short term. I mean very short
term, the long term effect can end up placing your site in the infamous
Google sandbox.
A methodical approach to promoting your
site
can be achieved in several manners that search engines like. Most of
these methods are labor intensive and to be truthful I have not found
an automated approach or service that truly delivers. I have found one
product that has shown to deliver what I want in a link building
service.
