Using Backlinks in Your Articles to Elevate Search Engine Rank Status

Using Backlinks in Your Articles to Elevate Search Engine Rank Status

In the first few part of this e-book we were able to emphasize the great importance of utilizing search engines in order for you to generate more traffic for your website. When it comes to utilizing search engines, it should always be your top priority to get high on the rankings list all the time (or at least, as often as you can) in order to ensure greater traffic count. This seemingly overwhelming task need not put any pressure on you as an article marketer - there are ways to achieved success: through backlinks.
You might have heard of them before or the concept is unfamiliar to you until now. Backlinks are what you might call external links that can be found on the web sites of other people that point back to your own site. It is therefore of utmost importance to build backlinks because it ensures that your website ranks high for whatever search terms people use and eventually leads them to your webpage. This is the key to good search engine optimization. Backlinks are also called inbound links and can either be exchanged with other webmasters or purchased for a fee. If you want to know the value of your backlinks based on Internet website popularity, check it out on Google PageRank, AlexaRank or other such tools.
What must be taken into consideration is the quality of the link. It is always wise to place a link in a page that has relevant content as a way of offering the viewer an extension of the topic that he or she wishes to read up on. Steer clear of websites that are irrelevant or infrequently visited. Storing your link there is practically a guarantee of an absence of visitors.
While you might want to work as fast as you can and create lots of backlinks, you are also advised to create as many quality links as you can. Link creation should not be done in a haphazard way because Google can penalize your website for holding a good number of "junk" or "irrelevant" links. When this happens, your website drops several rung down in the search engine ranks. Additional penalties can be incurred if you get caught purchasing a number of links. This results in the removal of your website from Google's listings page.
And so we reiterate that backlinks must be of top quality and placed strategically for it to yield great results for your site. The safest method that you can employ is to create quality content for your website in order to gain organic or natural backlinks. These organic or natural backlinks represent pages that have met the high standards of web visitors and clients and will definitely elevate your position in the search engine rankings.
