I’m busy with some serious link building strategies. My research took me to some interesting sites. And I learned some techniques that I really did not even know exist.

Link building is a great way to optimize your site, but usually the information you get is in general. For example Google is looking more favorable on inbound links than outbound links. What is inbound and what is outbound? Then there are still pings, forums, link exchanges, link baiting, and link swapping and linking to pages within your site. To mention a few!

Well, I’m not going into that here. I rather reveal some other interesting tidbits I picked up.

1 By exchanging links, with similar sites and sites that offer products and services that are complimentary to yours, you are building traffic. This is why you are linking – to build traffic that must be your ultimate goal.

2 Something else you have to bear in mind is that link popularity is based on individual pages, not on the site as a whole.

3 If a person arrives through a search engine and he didn’t come back (to the search engine) it means he found what he was looking for. Your site is then given a boost in rankings.

4 Think of quality links as a vehicle to get humans to your site and not spiders. A stronger “human” related link will result that the search engines find your links stronger than your competitors’

5 Hub or Authority? What are you? Don’t mix your types with Google.

What is a hub? Hubs have many links and are ranked by backwards clicks. You score points when humans hitting the back button!

What is an authority? These sites have relatively few links. They are rated according to forward clicks.

I know this sound all like real hard WORK. Where is the FUN then?

You may consider link building on a daily basis each time targeting another method. So that is hard work but….I just discover a new method that makes it more FUN…. See my widget? You can make your own widget and exchange it with other sites in your niche. For me, it looks so much better than a banner… don’t you think?

And you get to say more about your site or blog or article. This is really a cool site….Widgetbox. If you know about other sites where one can make widgets please let us know!

Are you in the same niche than me? Well, let’s exchange widgets and build our links!
