LINK PROGRAMS
First Page SEO™ does not use offshore link building services from India, Pakistan, China etc. as we keep all of our seo services in house, due to quality control requirements.
Many search engines including Google, Yahoo and Bing have a backlink component in their algorithm that is a factor in web site placement. Basically inbound links to your site are looked upon as votes for the site provided that these links that point at your site are consistent with your own site theme. In the case of Google, one way backlinks account for 25% of the Google algorithm and this has a corresponding affect on your placement.
Why Reciprocal Programs Don't Work
Search engines are also looking at the outbound links from your site. If your inbound links match your outbound links then effectively it really isn’t a vote for your site, it is a situation where I give you one - you give me one. Reciprocal linking is one step away from link farming and neither are the best link strategies for placement purposes in the current order of search engine marketing. A few are considered cancelled votes – too many and it will hurt your site position.
What About Link Pods?
Link pods are when many sites exchange links so that inbound links are different than outbound links. This strategy works fine provided the other players in the pod have sites that are similar to your theme or have enough related content that they will match your theme. Google spiders back beyond the sites that are pointing at you, looking to see that the inbound links that are pointing at your site in fact have their own inbound links sharing the same theme. Some services suggest that anchor text with the link is enough to carry the theme. Problem is, a few themed text words is not a lot to establish a strong enough theme to change your page rank and subsequent placement. Pods will work however, if you can find a like minded cooperative group of site owners that share a common theme. By example, if you are in a resort business, all those inside the pod should be resort accommodation related sites. If you are focusing on geographic search, perhaps a well known branded district, then those in the pod should carry the theme of that geographic area, e.g. Niagara Falls based content.
Tried And True
The best way to find links that will benefit your placement is to use your own top keyword phrases to ferret out top ranking sites that match your theme and acquire a one way link pointing at your site. As anyone who has done this knows, it is a very tedious job finding the links and an even more time consuming job registering on those sites. A good manually submitted link program can take a week to execute and registration costs can really add up. However, if you have the time, this is the best and least costly way to implement an effective link strategy.
What Are The Alternatives?
The only real alternative is to register and buy good one way directory links.
Directories have a mass of categorically themed information and their own plethora of inbound themed links pointing to the directory as a resource. Effectively, there are directory sites that list other categorical directories, so you can pick directories that carry plenty of content and that match your site theme. Text based links in these directories will act as a strong vote for your site providing that you don’t reciprocate a link back into the directory. Even directories play the pod game. This can work very well with large directories, as many will carry enough content to support almost any theme. The only problem is text based links in themed directories can be very expensive, especially on those sites that already carry a strong page rank. Check out these sites and you will see what I mean. They work but they are not cheap.
