The Value of Links for Search Engine Optimization

The quality of links one employs in a search engine optimization plan will play a huge role in the effectiveness of the eventual placement of the website in the major search engines. Then again, it also does not hurt to see the rankings boosted in the smaller search engines as well! In all seriousness, you will want to see the website placed high in the rankings. Quality links will place a role in this.

By quality links, it is meant that you need to place links on relevant websites that have decent page ranking. Such links provide the much needed "juice" that will boost the presence of the site in the rankings. When you are placing procuring quality links, you will get quality results.

Does this mean that lower quality links will have no value? It would really not be correct to state that a link placed on a site or blog ranked with 0 PR will have 0 value. It will just have very little value and you will need to add TONS of low rated resources to get anything out of it. You could always add such links. In fact, you are advised to add such links. But, you cannot build a complete search engine optimization plan around such weak links. You need a few quality ones as well.

Actually, you will need more than just a few quality links. You will need to amass a decent amount of them to experience decent results in the rankings. Acquiring such links should not prove all that complicated if you know where to go. Many will opt to purchase such links or work with a professional placement service. This will aid in cutting down on the time required to find and place links on the net.

It does not hurt to add a few "errant" links on the internet here and there via comments and signatures. Hat is, you could add links within any blog comments you leave or within the signature of any message board posts you make. This would all have the rather positive impact of adding a few extra "mini votes" to your search engine ranking. Certainly, that will not hurt at all.

Just be sure to look out for website directories that have a decent page rank and submit your links to them. While it may not be easy to find a website directory that delivers a PR5 ranking, you can find a decent amount of PR2 or PR3 ones. These would certainly prove to be helpful directories as far as gaining search engine juice.

Once again, the proper mix of low PR and high PR placement will eventually deliver the results you seek. The key here is to have balance so that the search engines will take notice of your links and tally their value. Keep in mind that it will take time for the search engine robots to index the links. There are no immediate results. This will be true regardless of the value of the links.

Again, a comprehensive link building strategy is what you will want to attain success. There really is no way around this fact of SEO life!
