Quality Links Can Take Time to Find

by Colm on August 29, 2008

Trying to find quality links can be very tedious and extremely time consuming, I’m two months into a small project and just seem to be hitting a brick wall until this week.

One issue could be the time of year July/August just seems to be so slow.

Is everybody on holidays?

I like quality links – I’m sure we all do

I do lots of article marketing, and before you ask it’s not all article directories. I write quality articles or I hire a quality writer to write maybe a 1000 word article on the subject I’ll sometimes get 10-20 articles done.

I’ll then contact website owners and ask if they are interested in publishing an article on their website, letting them know of course that this article will NOT appear on any other website and is an exclusive article for them.

Now how good is that for a website owner!

Free article
Free content
Quality article
Quality written

This of course is slow and takes time, I finally got one reply yesterday after 2 months waiting to let me know the article was published. Lucky I waited and didn’t use the article on another website.

Was it worth the wait? Hell yeah it’s a quality website

So I guess the lesson is you really need to have self belief that what you are doing is working and maybe as we move into winter more people will be online and might find time to publish your articles.

Sculpting your Site’s PageRank

What’s Sculpting PageRank you may ask, maybe your wondering what I’m talking about? Let me try explain in a moment.

As I’m sure you are aware PageRank is a Google trademarked term, it’s their measure of the importance of a page. But, if you look into it, it’s acttually more than that it is the foundation of Google’s ranking algorithm (Google PageRank). As we work with SEO it makes total sense that we make use as best we can to point PageRank in the right direction.

Most inbound links to a website will point directly to the home page, this page typically accumulates the most PageRank.  What you need to think about is how do you use this PageRank to flow deeper into your site.

One of the key things you need is site wide navigation using keyword rich text links rather than graphical buttons. You want to try shape how PageRank is distributed across your webpages using “rel=nofollow.” allowing you to send PageRank to link you want and not to others. [click to continue...]
