The search engines don't rank websites the same way they did several years ago, as they've updated the process. The way it used to be, all you had to do to get well ranked for your keywords was to use them in meta tags on your site. Meta tags, however, have gradually become less important because they caused results that weren't relevant to come up. The way things stand now, these tags are only of minor significance. The search engines today know exactly what they are looking for and don't tolerate much departure from this. Now the subject you really need to learn about to have your site rank well is link building. The number of backlinks your site has, as well as their quality, is now the most important consideration search engines such as Google use when ranking your site. We will now look at some link building tips that you can use to improve your site's search engine rank.
A reliable way to build one way backlinks is to use press releases to get the word out about your site. Doing a basic press release about your site's launch or anything that's newsworthy can be sent out to several influential PR websites. These websites then go ahead and distribute your press release to various news outlets on the web. As simple as it sounds, press releases are underestimated when building links. But few people know that it's a free method to build one way backlinks that take you a long way. There are hundreds of online press release sites such as PRWeb, PRLeap, and others. Article directories give you a good opportunity to create helpful one way links. The most popular article directories are considered authority sites by the search engines, and are a very good source of backlinks. All you have to do is write and submit articles that are relevant to your site to these directories and include a link at the end in the resource box. When you publish articles, of course, you will not only be getting one way links, but some direct traffic from the directories themselves. This is also content you've created, so you can use it to your best advantage.
Another somewhat underused method is to conduct contests because if you promote the contest you can get highly targeted anchor text links that are one-way back to your website or blog. The only real concern, but that's only if you get a ton of backlinks using this method, is that you could generate too many links all with the same anchor text. Overall, keep learning about backlink building, SEO, and keep backlinking to your sites. Try to avoid letting your rankings drop because it's something we think you won't want, and then you'll have to do a lot of work getting it back there.
