Our Services - Link Building

What is Link Building

Link building is the process of facilitating appropriate links to your website, managing reciprocal links and resultant relationships on the Web. In many ways, it is the online virtual equivalent of networking and reputation in the offline world.

Why Do You Need It

Link building is very important for two reasons. Firstly because 'link popularity' is important to the major search engines, like Google for example, and the ranking of the results listings. Link popularity has a multiplier effect upon on-page ranking factors (eg. well designed, keyword rich, web pages), so it is extremely important to analyse link popularity carefully. Google measures link popularity with its PageRank^TM score, and the number of external links, the PageRank of these links and the keywords within the linking text of these links are all important in determining the popularity/reputation of your page. It is worth noting that the number of hits your site receives, or the amount of money you spend on your site has no direct effect on your PageRank score.

Secondly, link building is important because of both the type and number of potential customers it might bring to your site. These days, site owners do not give links out just because it is asked of them. So it is important to promote and manage relationships on the Internet in a professional and ehtical way.
