Best Off-Page SEO Techniques
Here’s a crash course in SEO. Search engine optimization distills into two activities: on-page and off-page SEO.
What is on-page search engine optimization? It’s the keyword end of SEO. Keyword efforts require choosing your keywords and strategically placing them throughout a site.
As the web grows, keyword research is critically important. You want to use keywords that are actually searched, but don’t have so much competition that you’ll never have those keywords work for you. It’s a balancing act.
What is off-page search engine optimization? In a nutshell it’s getting backlinks to your sites. Backlinks help your sites rank well in the search engines.
For example, a link from Fox News website is far more valuable than a link from your local hair salon owned by a friend. You also want links from websites and blogs that are related in content to your site.
Also get links from sites whose content is similar to yours. For instance, if your site is a law firm, get links from other lawyers. Don’t waste time getting links from a hair salon website.
So, it’s easy to talk about getting links and musing about getting awesome links from CNN, but just how do you get those links? 3 approaches are commonly used; they are:
1. Create such great content that other websites, without any prompting from you, link to your site. Content can be articles, videos, podcasts, and/or photos.
2. Be a deal-maker by link exchanging with related websites. E-mail a site owner or webmaster and ask for a link exchange.
3. Create inbound links by writing and publishing content on sites outside your website.
I focus on option three. I like the control and I like the links to my site being one-way. I’ve done link exchanging but it’s an ongoing headache.
The disadvantage to my approach, which works well, is it takes a lot of my time. Think about writing fresh content and then putting it on article directories. That takes time. Also, writing blog comments and posts takes a fair amount of time as well.
These services can work wonders and really take your SEO to the next level.
