Posted in: site promotion, By: admin, At: November 7th, 2008
Let’s be honest, the first (and maintaining) a good Google Page Rank is not an easy task and requires constant attention. Not only with mutual connections, but the refinement of meta-tags, and to keep the content fresh. But we are only part of PageRank dilemma. In fact, this article will focus more on the other side, and in some cases, more important, the benefits of a good list of links.
The structure of the catalog
Create a catalog of good sense that the more categories that are better organized your directory. More categories means your visitors will find mostly links, much faster.
Minimize the depth of your categories-You should not make your directory more than three levels deep, for example, if you have a site visit and category for Jamaica, then the structure will do, Travel>> Caribbean>> Jamaica. Easy navigation for visitors to your site is the main reason for this.
The reason, the two minimizing the depth of your directory search engines will spider each page of your site, determine the PageRank of individual pages on their content, and the distance from his apartment. Use this as a rule, each level of your web page will cost that page “A” PageRank points. In the example above, this is what is meant here, Travel>> Caribbean>> Jamaica: Travel “parties have the highest PageRank closer to your family, say that Google has the rank of 4, the next level” Caribbean ” in all likelihood, will have a series of 3, and so on.
No more than 20 connections at a link partner in the world wants it to your site links to pages, links, as the number of 100th I would prefer to link number 3 on the last three the number of bond number 100 on page one. This disorder, and useless for all parties, you, your link partner and especially visitors to your site. Keep this in mind, and if your site search engine spiders will also notice more pages on your site so that the resolve to offer more content. His partners also link appreciate.
Related links
Do your visitors really, if you visit the site and links to the recipe? Of course not. While searching for a good quality of communication partners for your site will have more time, he also stands in the long run. If you have a travel site, look for cars, vacation spots, travel accessories, and so on. Your visitors are here because (this time) is interested in the fact that your site can offer, do not change the visitor train of thought into something other than what you want, I think, in this case, travel and things in connection with trip.
Earn money from your left?
Of course! Reciprocal links is a good way to make your site search engine placement, but immediately in cash from your links are set until level.
Join affiliate programs like Commission Junction and add some affiliate links to your catalog. For our travel site example, you can offer accessories such as travel, car rental and the like.
A good set of links to other sites and affiliate links-You do not want a complete catalog of affiliate links, this is great diversion for their visitors. In fact, you must be at least 10 to 1 for regular communication VS affiliate links.
Advertising in the directory
Currently, well-organized directory with an excellent structure, limited to 20 connections per page, and a lot of pages with good advertising space, that it was time to make a few banners.
You can advertise some good Web sites that are associated with a banner or two on each side.
Keep it clean, you should have quality space on the left or right of your directory add a Skyscraper banner on both sides (only one per page, though), is widely known that the higher the banner more clicks on the banner you should receive. Skyline typically 120 x 600 KB. Add a banner at the top center of each page and convert it into various joint-stock company, to offer something different from its skyscrapers. This is the most valuable banner location on any page, use the flags.
Sales of banners Now, when you are in the category of the directory, you can sell advertising space to vendors whose products or services to appeal to a special category. You can even set up primarily to a particular page for sale or trade for the same type of link to your site in the directory.
Exceptions to this rule
There are some sites that do not fit into any category of the site as a giant Google Page Rank and needed link to your site. Here is you manage these sites and is happy to receive the top rating. In addition to the regular links directory, create a short list of mutual relations. This may be only 1-3 pages in size. This directory must have a direct link from its home page (mostly top-ranking require that sites), a name something like “special relationship partners” or “links”. Add side only say, strings 6-7 or higher for this special directory. This ensures that your most important link partners who do not go to bury their relations in your directory.
