These days all website owners know that if they want to get traffic
to their site they have to build links to it. What is not clear to many
site owners is just why they have to do this or how they should be doing
it. Once you understand how the search engines rank sites it will
become pretty obvious why you need to build links.
The reason that
links are important to your website is that they are how the search
engines assess the quality of your website. The search engines want to
be able to provide their users with the most relevant and best quality
sites for any service. The problem is in actually being able to do this.
In order to determine which sites should be ranked where they have to
rely on a computer algorithm, unfortunately the computer cannot
determine the quality of a site.
Since the computer has no way of
ranking sites based on quality another solution had to be found, that
solution was to look at the links that a site had. The logic is that the
sites that have a lot of links pointing at them are probably the best
sites since people are more likely to link to good sites than to bad
ones. Unfortunately it didn't take long for webmasters to realize that
they could rig the results by building links to their own sites. This is
why building links is so important if you want to get traffic to your
site.
Because of the fact that everybody was building links to
their own sites the search engines have changed the algorithm that they
use. Nowadays the total number of links is far less important than where
the links come from. The search engines are well aware that people will
build links and although it creates a problem for them it is now an
accepted part of online marketing. As a result they have come up with a
compromise, basically the links that are harder to get are more
valuable.
Links that can be easily obtained like the ones that you
get from blog comments or forums are now pretty much worthless. The
links that you need to get are the ones that are in the text of a
relevant website. This has made link building a lot more difficult than
it it used to be and has greatly reduced the manipulation of the search
results. That being said it is still important that you build links to
your site, you just have to make sure that you are building the right
ones. This is why a back link building service is a good idea, they will
be able to get the quality links that you need. That's all for now, "Enjoy Your Coffee"
