Over the years I have learned one thing about people who create backlinks to their websites. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you can spend a large amount of time wasting your time, and even messing the reputation of your website up.
There are so many rumors on Google in regards to linking campaigns for websites as a means to getting more traffic.
Basically, out of so much information on the web, you have to use some of your god-given common sense. Take in what makes sense, and know what advice to leave behind. The thing about creating links to your site is that you have to do it in a way that makes your site look good. Because after all, that IS the point, isn’t it?
No matter what you read in the forums and in blogs, you are really never going to know 100% what Google wants. Because none of those people that write reviews are writing specifically FOR Google.
Blogs and sites that give you this information for “free” are simply sharing something that has previously worked for them. Meaning, it might not work in a few months… or it might. But you will never really know for sure!
Things that you should always really take into consideration when trying to market your site are: who are the people that you are trying to reach? And what are the methods that you will use in your plan to be successful?
It is really quite simple why people who have creating a good amount of backlinks for themselves have been successful. Search engines love sites that other people love (popular sites). If you have links that means that you are popular… therefore search engines will love you.
So when people start the long road of creating backlinks for themselves, they are simply trying to tell all the search engines: “hey looky here I exist, put me on page one!”
That is why I mentioned earlier and always advice my friends to be careful with this type of advertisement. When you begin creating backlinks for yourself, there is nothing wrong with that. However if you do it in the wrong way, very bad things could happen to your website.
Take into consideration this hypothetical situation: Say that you’re thinking about buying this really pretty cat that you saw the other day at a shelter home. Then suddenly on the same day, everyone on your phone list (all 133 contacts) call you to try and convince you to buy that dog. Wouldn’t you be a bit suspicious about the situation?
Well it’s the same with search engines. They want to see that you’re growing popular, but they want to see that you’re doing it in a natural and original way. Not doing something fishy to get up there. You must do it slowly.
It is known that sites that have grown suddenly popular over-night have been dropped from their index. They had to start over with a new site.
Making good quality backlinks to your website is just the same as trying to gain fame. The people have to like you (and in this case, search engines have to like you).
So always make sure that if you do decide to go into a backlink campaign, make it look as natural as possible!
As another added note, there are plenty of people out there who are willing to do the job for you. Some are expensive, but others are quite reasonable. Always make sure that you know exactly what will be done for your website.
