SEO – Inbound Links Are So Important

|Google Logo

It’s been a while since we posted here but I am keen to once again say that our customer’s just don’t get the importance of attaining in-bound links to their web sites !!

Google Encourages It!

Ok, it;s hard work sourcing quality links/sites (useless you come by them naturally (but most don’t). The EFFORT IS WORTH IT if you want more traffic and better search positions. Google et al, encourage inbound links and outwardly say that this helps your ranking. SO DO IT !!!

What is an ‘inboundlink’?
“Inbound links are links from pages on external sites linking back to your site. Inbound links can bring new users to your site, and when the links are merit-based and freely-volunteered as an editorial choice, they’re also one of the positive signals to Google about your site’s importance… As many of you know, relevant, quality inbound links can affect your PageRank (one of many factors in the Google ranking algorithm). And quality links often come naturally to sites with compelling content or offering a unique service.”
c/o Google Webmaster

You gotta earn Google’s respect

As long as the link to your site is not on a ‘spam’ or ‘link farm’ then you (and Google) think of an inbound link as a vote of confidence, your site is respected and liked. The more respectful links to your site the better chance of being on Google’s good ranking books.
