Backlinks Myths and Reality

backlinks There's a reason why link building (Link Building) is often touted as one of the main strategies for more online exposure and because it works. Unlike many other internet marketing strategies, the Link Building is a consistent and safe way to bring qualified traffic to a website.

Therefore it is better that we educate in this area to take full advantage of our online marketing strategy, (being true to my maxim of not leaving anything to chance and get the most out of the work already done).
However, there are a lot of myths about "the construction of links" or Link Building and today I want to talk to you about some of them.

Myth # 1: You always go wrong standing with the reciprocal link
Many times a fear of being penalized by Google, we lose tremendous opportunities to build links. It is natural that we be careful with the major search engines, after all, they have the power to promote or sanction our site. However, although the reciprocal link can be dangerous, not always. When the two sites are related to each other in some way no problem.

In short, random request reciprocal links to blogs and other web sites tends to be frowned upon and may affect more than benefit, but reciprocal links "spontaneous" are frowned upon.
Let's say you find another blog that has a link to yours. After returning the visit, you realize that is a valuable site that has much to offer people visiting your own site. In this case, it is perfectly valid to establish a reciprocal link.

Myth # 2: outbound links will hurt your ranking
Some are convinced that adding too many outbound links on their sites reduces their rankings in search engines.
If the detection algorithms are search engines that your site is flooded with outgoing links to irrelevant sites, you will be penalized. But what if outbound links are really useful?

Goal number one of the major search engines is to return relevant results, useful for its users. Therefore, they tend to give priority to websites and blogs that users find useful. If the outgoing links on your site tend to be beneficial for people who visit, this is going to help improve your ranking.

Myth # 3: The links are there to stay
If someone promises you that the links are being added will be "permanent" question immediately. Resting on their laurels during a link building campaign is a sure way to make it fail. Link building is something that should never end. Links can be broken, site owners can remove at will and complete web sites may cease to exist. So we must continually work to build new ties.

Myth # 4: The links on high PR sites are the only ones that matter
This is not entirely true, of course an incoming link from a high PR page is worth hundreds of links from a page with PR = 0.

But a strategy of backlinking have links where only high-ranking page "does not look very natural." So make sure you also have links to sites of medium and low ranking would be the natural way of working.
Consider these principles to define a strategy for SEO and your site is displayed, the "eyes" of search engines not only more natural but also more effective.

    Hi Raisa!

    Indeed, the link building is one of the major tasks of SEO, and therefore internet marketing.

    There are those who attach importance to a link, but this simple link can become a source of constant and considerable traffic. Obviously, if we talk about various links, this becomes much more relevant!

    And of course, if we consider its effect on search engine rankings, well ... too late to start today with this strategy!

    Hi Raisa, very comprehensive post.

    Having links on other sites to our blog or website is very good, but also depends heavily on sites we link.

    There are people who spend exchanging links with every site regardless of the rotation thereof.

    I do not think it would be very useful for my sites have links to download it online programs or games you have to be selective at times.

    Content is the king my point of view.

    Greetings.

    Hello Hernan
    above all, and welcome to my site!.
    And I fully agree with you, in any SEO strategy content is king.
    But backlins work as a vote that tells search engines how popular (relevant) is your site, and it is clear (Mito-1) not all are good.

    Hi Raisa,

    this theme of learning links and deployed it took some time and even I have not hesitated to pay someone to do the job (because truth itself is a boring little job but very effective and that is why I chose to delegate).

    The results are even better then exit at the first page of Google thanks to a good job of positioning and building links means exposing your business to thousands of eyes looking for exactly what you offer.

    It's like putting your business on Fifth Avenue in New York and also supereconómico. What entrepreneur would not want that?

    The information provided in this post is excellent!

  11. Tony Gomez Says:

    Hi Raisa, because I do not know anything about BackLink, when I published my blog, as the days passed I slowly inserted my blog web sites, warning the owners of such links course, and so sharing my site while those who visited me or visit me, you can select and visit any of the links I have.
    I did it based on the concept of sharing and cooperation with all the sites devoted to network marketing. One person that I knew nothing, asked me to exchange links. In fact it was the first time someone asked me the proposal.
    I think that's important for everyone, especially reciprocity because as a Facebook friend "tells me tell you."
    Thank you for sharing such an excellent and important post!

    Regards

  13. Andres Martin Says:

    Hi Raisa, as always good information.

    The task of the backlink is very heavy, and if you pay for it as for Maricarmen says that we are starting in this business, they went up a lot of the budget and we can only learn SEO and do it ourselves.

    It's a good idea proposed by Tony Gomez, but which we do not have blogs and websites, the reciprocal link is presented more complicated.

    I'm thinking of adding a section on my page with a list of Blogs "friends" whom I leave my comments and for which I am making a real Master, as well as yours I have in my favorites a good list that I use daily to go to "class".

    You think these links Raisa hurt me or benefit me in the face of Google and help me position my website.

    Greetings and many thanks again.

    raisagarrido Reply:

    Hello Andres,

    From the standpoint of search engine operation provided that the links into or out of your site are relevant to the content of it, not going to hurt. Hence the importance of exchanging links.

    I personally prefer a balanced exchange, or a balanced amount of links in and out and all relevant to the content of my site. What I do not think healthy is a long list of outbound links without them having a linkback to my blog.

    Now, according to the latest standards of Google this exchange does not have much weight in your position as the linkbacks recividos senior sites.

    A final observation about SEO: according to your niche, you offer products or priority you give to your position (exposure in search engines), and your chances of conversion, I advise assessing professional SEO services. There are basic packages can be negotiated and save you hours of learning and implementation that will ultimately mean more spending.

    I hope my answer helps. If you still have questions contact me on here or via mail.

    Regards
