Link Building

[petec33]

Hi All,

Need to get higher up the search engines and just wondered if it is worth paying one of these link building companies or should i stay well away from these?

Thanks

I used to pay on my old site and found it to be a waste of money. If money is the way to get to the top, there will always be someone with more of it. I'd continue with keywords etc.

Hi,

With links it is as much about quality as quantity. One way links from related topic sites with a high page rank are best. But it is really difficult to get these. You can entice one way links by having lots of good, interesting and original text on your site. If you have your key words in that text then that will please the search engines as well, and will help with the ranking. Purchasing links, link farms etc is frowned on by Google but really the purchasing area is a bit difficult to police fairly, as you are technically purchasing a link when you advertise anywhere on line.... Google try to overcome this by expecting sites carrying advertising (including affiliates) to use the no follow code.

A recommended way to get one way links is to write articles. You can generally have a link to your site from the article signature and some article sites will also allow links within the text but usually not until the bottom half of the article.

Blogging is another good way to get one way links.... but some blogs also use the no follow code.

Don't forget to put your URL in your signature whatever you are doing and deep linking is important as well. Don't concentrate all the links on the home page.

Hope that helps

Doing online press releases is another good way to pick up quality links but you need to pay for each release. Any free releases generally don't allow you to embed hyperlinks.

Just from a quick look, here are 5 things you could do NOW to instantly improve your serps.

1) Link your keywords on the homepage to actual products or category pages.
2) Add keyword rich alt tags to the images (there's nothing at the moment)
3) Add "electronic cigarette" to the product titles - at the moment it's just "Black 510 kit"
4) Same as 3 but for the eliquids.
5) Add some keyword rich content to the category pages.

Lastly, you need to change the background colour of your template...it's coral pink at the moment and needs to be white! ;)

That was really good...and I think you have the point there... Article submission can really do good to a website..aside from having links on the Author Bio, one could have it's traffic increase even in a small amount, and yet it helps.. and on blogs, make sure that the content is worth reading for readers to come back for it.. I guess what matters is that, you properly managed it well without spending too much cost..

Do you have any contact for people in India to do this?

Do you have any contact for people in India to do this?

For us it would be once bitten twice shy. We used a company in India for e-commerce software and we had problems trying to contact them, problems trying to get any work done and even bigger problems when they did a runner!

Only good thing to come out of it was we found Bluepark :)

I know there is good and bad companies where ever you look in the world but I would either do it myself or outsource to a small uk company such as Giles at ***********. Giles has done a number of site makeovers for Blueparkers and he also does seo
