Link Referral & SEO Tips


When I started blogging, it was so difficult for me to get traffic. I’d only get a few views from promoting my site in a forum. If these visitors liked the content of my blog, they’d come back. But for some time they were the only ones who knew about my site.

And then I started browsing other people’s blogs, and stumbled upon a banner from LinkReferral. I clicked on it and was taken to the LinkReferral website, where I learned about their concept. The concept is: it’s like a big blog/website directory. You can sign up and add your site there. But it’s not just like any other blog directory because the members are encouraged to click on each other’s sites. What’s the incentive? Everytime you click on a site in the directory, your site moves up the list. If you’re very diligent with clicking, you’ll be somewhere at the top of the list, making it much more likely that other members will get to click on your site.

My traffic started increasing after I joined LinkReferral. However it also plateaus after a while, so I recommend that you also look for other ways to increase traffic. For those who are just beginning and are trying to establish their bog or website in the net, it’s a great way to start building up.

Here are some of the SEO tips

  1. Spotlight your search term on the page. If you want to be found for your keyword, make sure that term is on the page you want to rank. The term should be at the top as well as peppered throughout your copy.
  2. Fill in your "tags." The two most important tags are Title and Description b/c that's what is displayed on the search results.
  3. Get other sites to "link" back to you. This is one of the most important of the 100 factors Google considers when ranking sites
  4. Create a blog and post often. This can help you get links.
  5. Register for free tools. Cutts recommends using the tools at google.com/webmaster, as well as creating a text-based sitemap www.xml-sitemaps.com, and adding your business to Google's Local Business center (google.com/local/add)
