Continuous research and innovation has evolved the importance of Link Building in the world of SEO. Experts have established a relation between the ranking of a website with the number of inward and outward links to the site or page.
Let us understand the concept in a nut shell. SEO crawlers find a number of sites from where your site is linked to or other websites from where traffic can be diverted to your website. In the world of SEO these are called potential links. Just take an example, when an educational site links to your education portal or even a coaching center then there is a chance that the visitors might be interested in your website while visiting the parent educational site. This means traffic is diverted to your website from that website where you have placed a link. It is not only important for the visitors but also an important factor for populating your site at the search engines. These are basically called the inbound link as they are carrying traffic to your website. Now, experts also have evaluated that the number of relevant links present in your site also become a major factor for the search engine algorithm. These links of your site, which are diverting their traffic to your site is called an outbound link. We have not tested the authenticity of this statement but at least these links make your site more dynamic.
Now let us see, how link building takes place? There are several terms like one way links, reciprocal links and pay per click (PPC) links. One way links are those that you build up in other websites having a parallel theme or business overview like yours. If you want to buy such links you need to contact the webmaster or the owner of the site and negotiate the rate and furnish your links over there. You can even get free entry to new sites or at sites of repute to enhance your own ranking. If you look at the reciprocal link, the method is that both the sites will publish the other’s link in their respective sites. As this method involves the exchange of links, Reciprocal Links are also termed as Link Exchange or Traffic Exchange. The fun is that every site looks for a site higher in the rung for link exchange to increase its traffic. Now this exchange method has become most popular as it is a profound technique and the financial involvement becomes significantly less.
As history repeats itself so in the case of traffic exchange being lured by overwhelming results, people start exchanging links with sites, which in no way are complementary to their nature of business/ objectives. The situation has worsened with the usage of automated software as robotic software cannot have feelings and intelligence like humans. So a random link exchange starts and at times even without informing the site owner irrelevant sites are linked to. As soon the search engine experts noticed this unwanted result of technology they had changed their algorithm by adding a monosyllabic word, “relevant”. The result is that now the search engine crawlers have become smart enough to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant links. So, be careful.
