Building Links for better page rank and search engine optimization.

So you got your website built, keywords and phrases in the in the tags and code of the site, and your content has your key phrase sprinkled in throughout the text. What now? Still not seeing your site on the first page of the search engines when you use your phrase? What can a website owner do?

Building inbound links...

This helps bring you up further in the search engines. Google has a formula they use, combined with your page rank, that uses inbound links. It places more importance on your page if there are links from other websites going into yours. The result is you go up on the search engine chain. Want to read the google article on it?

How can you get more inbound links?

Put your website in as many free directories you can find, and paid directories if you want to go that route. If you are a green business, a good one to use GreenListed, but do a search for your business type and you are bound to find a few directories.

Link exchanges...

Exchange links with similar websites. You both get a higher page rank...and it's always good to join forces.

Blogs and social networking pages are another option. You can add your link on to the pages.

These are some of the ways to build inbound links and, hey, it's been working for me. Try googling "holistic graphic design" and see what comes up...toot toot!

I decided to give myself a facelift with a new logo and website look, for the new year. Incorporating a little dragonfly symbolizes a new lightness, more light, into my work and life. Doing what you love to do does that to you!
