How to Increase Your Web Site Sales by Achieving Higher Search Engine Positioning Through "Link Popularity"
About Search Engine Optimization:
"Search Engine Optimization" (SEO) is the process of
achieving top search engine rankings and tapping into a
new source of qualified visitors who are actively searching
for products and services like yours on the Net.
Your SEO
campaign needs the vital “fuel” that achieves high rankings: text
links.
Why Text Links Are Vital For
Building High Rankings:
95%
of the process of achieving high search engine rankings is
acquiring quality and relevant text links on other sites that
point to your web site. Ever since Google entered the search
engine market, all the major Search Engines have started using these
“in-bound” links as the primary way they rank web sites. This
is known as your web site’s “Link Popularity” or in Google’s
case it’s called "PageRank" or "PR."
For example, the heart of Google’s algorithm is PageRank, a
system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry
Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. Here is what
Google says about their “PageRank” web site ranking algorithm at
their
web site…
"PageRank relies on the uniquely
democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an
indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google
interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by
page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume
of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that
casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves
"important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages
‘important.’
As Google explains, Links and PageRank are critical to
ranking high in the search engines. In fact, inbound links and the
text within those inbound links account for 95% of effective
search engine optimization.
Use Relevant Links To Boost
Your Web Site To The Top:
Attaining optimal link popularity is not as easy as simply obtaining
as many links as possible to your web site. The quality and
relevancy of the sites linking to your site holds more
"weight" than the quantity of sites linking to your site.
For example, since Yahoo! Directory is the most frequently
visited site on the web, a link from Yahoo to your web site carries
far more "weight" than a link from a smaller, less visited site.
Here’s what Google Developer Matt
Cutts has to say about links…
"Thematic incoming
links from authority sites
carry more weight than on-page optimization." ~ Matt
Cutts, Google Developer
Links are also an important source
of qualified visitors…
Acquiring
text links from your Industry’s largest “authority sites”
also enables you to tap into their flow of traffic. This supplies
your online “sales funnel” with a constant source of
qualified visitors and prospects. Sometimes these sites require you pay a
fee to add your text link, but they’re worth it!
For example: We have a client in the Human Resources Software business who we help with acquiring links. By using
ClickTracks
we found that just one link from
www.HR-Guide.com generated a sales lead that later resulted in
a software sale worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! The link
cost them $20 bucks.

the respective web sites by you through your account. You'll need to

- Step 5: Distribute your
content and/or news releases across the Web
Two of my favorite ways to get text links and higher rankings is by
using the Internet’s newest and most powerful communications
technologies: Blogs and electronic news releases. These tools make
it easy to maximize your search engine visibility and increase the
amount of in-bound links to your web site which provide a constant
supply of qualified visitors.
So, if you’re really serious about being a leader in your industry
on the Internet while significantly lowering your cost per sale, add
a Blog to your web site and send your news releases through
electronic distribution services such as
www.prweb.com.
