On Site SEO and Link Building

On site SEO and link building is an important part of getting your website found by the search engines. I’m not going to talk about the on site part of seo. I will be talking about a link building strategy that really isn’t all that true.

There is a lot of talk online that the sites that link to you must be related to your own website. I’ve said the same thing myself on this blog. I have recently realized that this in fact is not the case.

You may be thinking if this is not true then why are so many saying it. I think the answer to that is that most do believe that this is true. Someone probably said this somewhere on a forum or wherever and because it makes sense, I think that most just took it as law.

I’m not saying that somewhere in the future that this won’t be an important part of determining how relevant a website is. I’m saying, at the moment, it is not.

How do I know this? I’ve been experimenting with this website and can tell you that the main keyword for this website which I have been trying to rank for since its inception went from being listed on Google at 356 to 31st as of today. That’s a huge leap in position on Google’s index.

Instead of trying to selectively link to sites that are related to mine, I decided to just link to as many sites as I possibly could. In the past 3 months I’ve added just an extra 300 inlinks to this site of which most are unrelated to this one. That’s the only optimization change I have made to this website in the past three months. I intend to continue to increase the number of inlinks to this website to see if I can get my keyword to place on page one of the search engines.

Let’s face it. If you are in a niche with limited sites that you can link to, what you have may not be enough to get you ranked where you want to be ranked on the search engines. Whoever said that, it’s quality not quantity is the biggest factor when it comes to link building is either a liar or doesn’t know what he/she is talking about. When it comes to on site seo and link building, the quantity of inlinks that you have is most certainly a huge factor on where you’ll list on the search engines.
