"In the time spent roaming the Internet jumping from website to
website, it strikes me that links is the only real method of travel.



With a rather large number of directories and link schemes that
seam to have hit the net; paid and free link exchange directories seem
to be the norm these days.




Some of which are rising to great heights in search results and some are not.



Spending some time looking into these directories, i have come to
realise that each directory has its own agenda; be it money or Google
greatness.




Never-the-less very few directories have one thing in common; quality.



Link building is one of the hardest things to do when creating a
successful website, on little or no budget. As your newly uploaded
website needs inbound links for it to be seen; let alone get to the top
of search results.



There are varying methods of achieving inbound links but require a
lot of work and patience. Finding reciprocal link partners with high
ranking sites is almost impossiable and i read it somewhere to write
articles on a topic related to your site. Good luck finding a topic not
already covered.




So whats a new webmaster to do to achieve inbound links and Google greatness.




Well your guess is as good as mine.



But one things for sure; if the big sites continue to ignore
smaller and new websites link requests, "yours and my dreams will
remain just that."

Although webmasters have very different views on what is and what isnt when
it comes to seo, in my humble opinon only the search engines themselves no what
is. We have a full picture of what it takes to get to the top, but our information
into whats most important is mixed up from webmaster to webmaster.

The truth of it is if every webmaster knew what it took to get there, we'd all
be #1.....

So its always going to be trial and error, good individual guess work and seeing
what works best for other related sites.

Search engines

Search engines are the bread and butter of all websites, so optimising your
site is a must if you want online success, higher rankings brings more clicks.
With that said being listed in search engines alone is not enough to ensure
your business gets the attention it deserves.

Domain name

Its very important for you to get your own domain name with the keywords
you plan on using, as free domains are useless if you are serious about your
online business. Getting free domains listed in directories is near impossible
and cuts out a huge chunk from your online presence.

Keywords

Keywords is an important factor of seo as search engines use these to judge a sites relevance through textual content.

Images

If your website is image led, the best thing to do is add some text into your
images, using ALT in your meta tag; for search engines to read.

Title and description

The most important meta tag to get right is the title and description
because search engines use these to judge a sites relevance to a search query from
a possible vistor. So your choice of keywords in your title and description is
what should make you stand out from the crowd of hundreds of thousands of related
websites. Although the description is as important as the title; the title is
key to online success.

Link building

Inbound links to your website is crucial to your success online. As a beginner
myself with 2 years in the field i thought it about time we outlined some basic
information for the beginner in getting links pointing to your website.

Make sure all your pages links are not broken. Google and others see these links
as a vote in your link popularity. Find a Google listed site to exchange links
with so (youll get listed too; dont worry to much about page rank at this point.
Exchange links with this listed site ( http://www.linkfeads.com/ ). Here are a few more to get
you started, Linkexchange.com, Linkcritic.com, Freshlinks.com.

Ok so your pages links work and you have exchanged links with some
listed sites. Now you need some one way links as they weight much more
than the exchanged ones. This is because one way links look more
natural. There are different ways of achieving this.
Somebody likes your site so links to it; at this point highly unlikely.
You can hunt for links using Google with keywords such as, Free links, add a
link, link submission, link directory.

Submit your site to all the directories you can find, (free and paid)
because you want to be listed in pr0 and pr7,8,9 and 10 if you find
one:-) The higher ranking directories are most certenly paid for only,
but well worth it if you pick the right one. Bookmarks is another one
way link option, register for free with sites such as del.icio.us.

Have you got articles written by you that you think would of interest
to others?. Another way of getting one way links is to write articles
and submit them to article submission sites with rewrite rights so they
can be used by other webmasters. Try joining active forums related to
your site, make sure you use the signature option with your posts; you
can put your URL here. This might not get you lots of readers but it
will double your chances of getting listed with search engines, Just
make sure you offer these forums more than just a link to your own
site, and stick to forum rules.

These are just a few things that can be done to increase
your inbound links and get you listed with search engines and the best thing
is; you didn''t submit to them either. The reason for this is, all it takes
is a link on someones listed and popular site and you get listed too. Because
active sites get spidered all the time, searching for new content. This is just
the start of a long road to number 1 though; of which you may never achieve.
