Google Best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Practices Part 4
The four part of this article will concentrate on the link areas of the off-page optimization for Google. I will review 5 essential link areas.
Reciprocal linking does not have the effect it used to.
If you are asking for links right now, stop sending automated link requests. Instead, focus on getting natural links from related sites by using link bait, in other words, content that is worth linking to because of its value. When offered a link from partners, make sure their page doesnt have more than 100 links already in it, look for 20 links max when possible, and also that their site is related to the theme of yours. At last, check that you are getting traffic from the link, or drop it.
Article swap and article partitioning.
Engage in article swap with link partners, and break articles in parts to create a series of them for your visitors to follow (partitioning). Include comments when applicable in all articles (in a different color to distinguish, hint: blue) since it gives visitors great commented content and overcomes duplicate content penalties.
Your internal linking...
