Developing a proactive marketing strategy that will provide a consistent stream of good quality web traffic is not an impossible task. To get traffic you need a significant presence and to gain a presence you need firstly a good site that Google can read and understand, and secondly a network of high quality links to your website from many other authority websites.
Although this sounds quite difficult and complex, reasonably easy to achieve because of all the systems that are around that can do it for you. First though, you need to grasp the concept that not all links are equal. Google Page Rank is a good indicator of how much a link from a given site will be worth. Google ranks pages 0-10, 0 being the least valuable sites that is knows about, and 10 being the most valuable and popular sites. Below rank 0 or n/a means either that Google isn’t aware of the sites existence or that you should avoid that site because it has been blacklisted.
In a perfect world, we’d all have lots of links from the home-pages PR-10 sites, however the fact that there are only around 10 PR-10 sites that exist somewhat hinders this approach, and those 10 or so won’t usually link to many other websites because they don’t need to, have nothing to gain from it, and would never stop receiving link requests. Even slightly lower PR sites, like PR-7/8s are very picky about who they link to. These highly ranked sites are known as “authority” sites and tend not to link to lower ranked sites (not very often anyway) because they simply have nothing to gain from it.
The goal is to get lots of websites with some PR or the potential to get some PR reasonably soon to link to you. So what that means is, identifying a site as new (hasn’t been online long) and has no PR, but that is building links in order to get some PR. Identifying these type of sites is a good long-term method to adopt as you never know what sites are going to be the next PR-8s, 9s or even 10s in a few years time. The PR you will be given when Google review it (around every 6 months) will be based on the amount and the quality of the link juice you squeeze out of all the sites that link to you. The higher PR sites you get links from, the higher your PR will be.
So how does one go about getting these links together? Well, that is just the question. You can hunt down sites online that seem to link to other sites. There are quite a few sites about that provide reciprocal linking. The flaw with these is that reciprocal links aren’t really worth a great deal any more (although they are worth something as sometimes two-way links are natural eg.customer & supplier etc.they’re just not worth much). This is because the major search engines have cottoned on to the arrangement being made between sites with this type of link, they have therefore begun to downgrade their worth.
By far the most efficient way to get to the good seats in the search engine results ranking (at the top) is with one way links (getting sites to link to you without you having to link back). As people aren’t very inclined to give away links for nothing, this can be quite difficult. Some sites may just genuinely like your site’s content and give link to you as a resource for their users, but generally speaking, you will have to give them return
You may have some difficulty with this if you only have one website, or if you have two that are hosted in the same place, they’ll have the same IP address and so it will look to search engines as if they are they the same site. The are lots of solutions to this problem, but one way links are definitely the most effective.
In effect you enter your website into a triangle arrangement whereby your website links to website B which links to website C which links back to you. This benefits each site to the sum of one non-reciprocal link, and each site gives one non-reciprocal link to a different site. The major search engines cant track your linking in this instance and so you are rewarded with a hefty shove up the rankings as a result.
