Build A Huge Number Of Incoming Backlinks And Get Free Targeted Web Site Traffic!

Friday, May 11th, 2007

The great thing is, that the free targeted traffic is not just a dream but a reality also. Search engines see the number of incoming backlinks like votes, which related web sites give to your site by setting your link on their page.

The search engines evaluate your site according to the number of incoming backlinks. The more your site has them, the more useful it is and the more higher search engines will place your site on the search result pages. And the more targeted web site traffic you will receive.

Sounds too easy to be true. But suprise, suprise, it is easy. The process is called web site optimization., which means using ways to get higher search engine position. So the key is to know, how search engines put all sites in certain order.

The first thing to get targeted web site traffic is to make a so called on page optimization.The keywords play a leading role in that process. As you know people search information in the internet by typing keywords or - phrases on the search bar and will get a list of pages as a result, which all include the keyword searched.

Now you understand that to be able to get the first place on the result page, you have to win all other pages. You can do this, it is not complicated, when you know according which factors search engines set the pages in certain order. The only target is to get the first place, because that will bring the maximum amount of targeted web site traffic to your site.

The keywords must be big enough but not too big, nor too small. You have to analyze the PR and the number of incoming backlinks at least from Google, MSN aand Yahoo. It has my experience that keywords make it possible to get on a certain result page and the number of incoming backlinks make it possible to increase the position and finally to reach the number one position.

This and only this, is the order of issues in the optimization process. It means that by using only huge number of incoming backlinks, you cannot reach your target. The direction is missing. Keywords will direct your site to the right search result pages.

Because free targeted web site traffic is so important, you may wonder how you can build the amount of incoming backlinks, which is needed. How to make other websites to set your backlink on their page. Maybe the best way is to write keyword articles and distribute them using some software, which will broadcast them into hundreds of directories and websites with the click of the mouse

These articles will do two things. They will form the required number of incoming backlinks and they will pre sell the idea of your page and then bring these warm visitors into your website. Could you hope anything better to your internet home business?

If you’re a website owner and you’re trying to get organic search engine traffic then you’ve probably heard the term “Google Pagerank”. But what is Pagerank and how does a websites pagerank effect search engine rankings? In this article I’ll address those questions and try to give you some insight into this often confusing topic.

What is Google pagerank? Google developed the “pagerank” system several years ago for the purpose of gauging how “important” a web page is. The higher the pagerank, the more “important” Google thinks the webpage is. Google uses this gauge as a part of its ranking algorithm.

How do I check a sites pagerank? Google offers a free toolbar that you can download and install on your machine. One of the things this toolbar does is to display the Pagerank of whatever webpage you’re looking at.

Where does pagerank come from? Pagerank is all about webpages linking to other webpages. You see, every page that Google indexes has a pagerank value associated with it. Every time one page links to another page, a portion of that pagerank value “passes” to the page it links to. Higher ranking pages, pass more pagerank to the pages they link to.

What happens is, when one page links to another page, it’s kind of like the page that does the linking is voting for the other page. So to get pagerank to your webpage, all you have to do is get other pages to link to it.

Pagerank is really just a mathematical calculation that determines how “important” a webpage is based on how “important” the pages that link to it are.

A crucial point here that is often misunderstood is that pagerank is passed on a page by page basis. Many webmasters assume that a sites pagerank is determined by its home page. While it’s true that the homepage is often the highest ranking page within a website, it doesn’t have to be. Any page on a given website could rank higher then the homepage.

The myth that the homepage will have the highest pagerank comes from the fact that many webmasters (especially old school webmasters) participated in reciprocal linking programs where they would exchange links to each others homepages. So, by default, the homepage wound up with the highest pagerank simply because it had the most links pointing to it.

So how will my pagerank affect my search engine rankings? Pagerank is simply not as powerful as it once was. There was a time when all you had to do to rank well was to get enough websites to link to you and you could dominate virtually any listing you wanted. Today, the ranking algorithm is much more complex. Many other factors are taken into account. However, pagerank does still play a reasonably important roll so getting backlinks is still a major task in the search engine optimization world. It’s just that the way we go about getting those links has changed.

One final note, my recommendation is to never worry too much about Pagerank. Build your website to the best of your ability; create well written, compelling web pages and you’ll get backlinks naturally. Further, take some of your better articles and submit them to a few article directories - include a resource box which links back to your site and you’ll get some excellent backlinks pretty quickly. Just stay away from reciprocal linking campaigns, whatever benefit they once had is long gone.
