Question: What is an Organic Link and why should I care?
Answer: An organic link is an inbound link to a website from a
webmaster who linked to you because he found your content useful
AND throught visitors to his website may likewise benefit from what
your had to say. Once you get enough inbound organic links, you
become an authority on the topic - and this ladies and gentlemen
is what the new serach engine algorithms give credit to.
To get organic inbound links:
| |
First have unique great content |
| |
Second let prospective linkers know you have the content -
posting in forums is a great way to do this |
Things to avoid:
| |
Don't subscribe to link exchange programs. Many of the new
algorithms either ignore links from link farms, or penalize
sites they link to. |
| |
Don't exchange links - either 2 way or 3 way. Google in particular
gives you great credit for what the industry calles "organic
links" that are grown from just ordinary web surfing. |
