When it comes to getting your site indexed and noticed by search engines everyone unless you’re absolutely brand new to the internet knows that in order to get noticed you need other sites linking back to yours. One method you might not be aware of is to use a link wheel. So What is a link wheel? Unlike the traditional back link or reciprocal links from other sites, a link wheel is a collection of web 2.0 sites that you create. Link wheels can range in size from a small handful to several dozen, and each site has relevant content to either your main website or blog, or to a specific page you’re trying to promote within your main site. In short your link sites are being used to give your website more authority and trust for a specific topic. This in tern gives you a better SERP or search engine ranking position. It also helps drive targeted traffic to your website.

If you’ve had a website or blog for some time you know that in order to rank well in search engines your site needs quality one way back links pointing to it. Most of us know about link exchanges, link farms, reciprocal links and so on. While some of these are good and others you should avoid (link farms for example) one you might not have heard of is 3 way linking.

I recently received an email from Infolinks a contextual affiliate advertiser. It seems they want to expand their service and get more blogs and websites using their service. Now I have no problem with this and have found their services pretty good overall. However how they want to expand is by getting you to spam comments for them.

Let say you found a video you want to share with some friends. Or perhaps you want to post it to your website. The problem is that it’s long and the stuff you want people to see is in the last half of it.

Outbound linking it seems to go against the grain to get your site noticed. You’ve probably heard over and over again about the importance of having high quality back links pointing to your site, these links help boost your search ranking, page rank, and hopefully get you some more traffic. Outbound linking you would think would be the opposite of that. It turns out though that outbound links are good for you. Having quality outbound links can have some big benefits to your website or blog...................

If you work in the search engine optimization sector, you’ve probably heard too many times that ‘link-building is dead’. Well, yes and no.
Yes, because links alone won’t get you far these days. Search engines are constantly updating their algorithm; weeding out unnatural links or penalizing sites with spammy content. In fact, Google’s recent Phantom Update affected both small and large websites as it targeted thin, overused, and duplicated content.
No, because links are still the lifeblood of SEO and ...
