Link Building Methods & Opportunities

Just as friends are important to your authority (influence) on Facebook, and followers are important to your authority on Twitter, Backlinks are important to your website’s authority within search engines. Backlinks are inbound links originating outside of your website to pages within your website. However, not all Backlinks are created equal; Google et al value Backlinks differently based on how they are achieved and the source of the link itself. You can purchase Backlinks. You can register your URL on thousands of Directory sites … this will create Backlinks but it will score few points with the search engines as they are not highly valued. The most highly valued Backlinks are driven by great content that is adopted or linked to by high value websites. High value websites include those websites that have high Google PageRank (PR).

When Is Google AdWords Necessary?

It's important to have an understanding of what Google AdWords is and how it works. With AdWords, advertisers pick keywords they believe will be relevant to their website and their marketing strategies. They then bid on the keywords and phrases, with the highest bidders having their ads above the top search engine results (shaded in yellow) and/or along the right side of the first Search Engine Result Page (SERP). The cost per click (CPC) is then formulated according to how the bids were priced; what makes AdWords so unique, though, is the advertiser doesn't pay for the placement itself. What's paid for is each click on the ad that brings the web surfer to the advertiser's optimized landing page.

Does Google Advertisement Work?

There is a lot of hype surrounding Google Advertisement through AdWords, but does their program live up to it all? This is a really important question to answer, as Google clearly leads all online internet advertising brands. Google's PPC (Pay per Click) program works immediately to produce results that organic SEO can take months to achieve. However, in assessing Adwords, you must first define success. Is Adwords your entire online marketing approach or is it part of a broader, more diversified set of strategies to promote your online business? Is it a short, intermediate or long term strategy? How many clicks does it take to make a sale? What is your net profit / sale? Is it worth it? Clearly you have to answer these questions, be conservative and really do the math so that you know what success really looks like.

Getting the Most Out of PPC

One of the most popular online advertising methods is Pay per Click, or PPC. Using this method, advertisers only pay when a user clicks on their ad, and is redirected to their site. Many web site owners use this method because it is an economical way to reach targeted customers right away, rather than waiting for months via an organic SEO campaign. The cost of PPC advertising campaigns can vary greatly, because advertisers choose their budget on a daily basis.
