- Link Popularity
Improve your Search Engine ranking with amazing results.
Reciprocal linking is the art of getting other websites to link to yours. Done properly, it's a powerful promotional / marketing tool that will improve your search engine rankings and bring you web visitors /potential clients.
If you can get enough websites to link to yours it can help you greatly with what's known as "link popularity," which is one of the criteria used by most of the major search engines when ranking websites. Theoretically, the better your popularity, the higher you rank.
Your first step should be to set up a page on your site that will hold the link swaps you're going to arrange. Some people call these pages "links" or "fav links" or sometimes "related links."
The question I hear from many therapeutic practitioners is "if I link out won't I be sending my web visitors /potential clients away?" The answer of course, is yes... and no. When choosing sites to link to, choose related sites that complement the therapeutic services you offer but don't directly compete with you.
A smart tip to keep in mind when adding these sites to your webpage is to set them up so they'll open in a new window. This way, your site will remain open in the background, making it easy for your visitors to return.
Now I'm not going to kid you about this: The hardest part in swapping links is finding the sites you wish to link to, contacting the webmaster, then adding the link. Even after all of this is said and done you'll still need to monitor the sites who've agreed to swap with you to make sure they're living up to their end of the bargain. Initially it is very time consuming and can take from 1 - 10 hours per week depending on how committed you are towards achieving high search engine results.
The good news is, there are software programs that make all of this work a whole lot easier.
- LinkCrafter: This piece of Windows software will automatically find pages related to yours, creates link to them, and notify their owners that you have done so. This software was given a 5 star rating in most of the computer magazines.
- LinkTrader: This handy piece of software allows you to enter in the url's of all the sites that are suppose to be linking to you and run a live report. After LinkTrader scans the sites in your list it generates a report of the sites that do and don't have your link. An optional email can be sent to each site asking why they have removed your link if you like.
