Deep Links

When getting links where should you have the links go? Many say your homepage, others say you should go for deeplinks (pages other than your home page). For best results you should probably have a mix. But how can you tell what percentage of your links are deep? Try the Deep Link Ratio tool.

Filling out Forms

If you do a work online chances are you'll encounter a lot of forms. Roboform allows you to fill in these forms automatically. The base version is free, however the pro version allows you to have multiple identities, and custom fields.

Who Not to Link To

You should always visit your linking partners website to make sure it's something that you want to be associated with. Should your link be on topic ... most of the time the answer is yes. However if you found a website that you really like even if has nothing to do with your website go ahead and link to it, just keep them to a minimum.

Unless you are in any of the sin industries (ie p0rn, gambl1ng, or p1lls) it's a dangerous thing to link to those websites. Generally those industries are highly competitive and are willing to push the edges of what search engines consider acceptable. If they go over the line and incur a ban, you may be guilty by association, so choose who you link to carefully.

Getting Links

Once you've found people who you'd like to link to you need to contact them and establish the link. Visit the site if they have an automatic form that will make things easy, just follow the instructions on the form. If not you will need to send an email to the webmaster. You can usually find the address somewhere on the website. Send an email to them asking if they would like to trade links with you. However you should not be quite so obvious. Mention something you saw on their website that you liked or found interesting. Webmasters are people just like you and it never hurts to stroke their egos. Many people believe you should put up a link to them first in good faith, others disagree. This is a matter of personal opinion and how badly you want to get the incoming link. Depending on how good you are you can get a 30-40% success ratio, but 10-20% is much more common.

Building Links, the basics

Getting inbound links to your website is one important way to help search engines find your content and establish what your website is about. The first step is to find linking partners. One way to do this is go to search engines like Goolge and Yahoo and type in "you keyword(s)" and "add url". This will give site who are related to you who are wiling to trade links. You should be looking quality websites with unique, original and interesting content/ You should also link up to sites that are relevant in some way to yours.

Once your CSS is in place check to see if it's valid with tools like the W3C CSS Validator You can also check the validity of your HTML code with the W3C HTML Validator. Having valid pages while not necessary is always better. Once your pages have been validated you can check the download times the NetMechanic HTML Toolbox
