SEO - How To Get Inbound Links

Google loves quality inbound links.

Inbound links, also called backlinks, are other websites that link to your website. Google will check these sites for quality, relevance, and the text used in the link. Only get links from sites related to your industry. Links from other sites will not help, and will harm your SEO. When it comes to links it's quality not quantity.

You can get links by listing in industry directories, sending out a Press Release, and asking other sites to link to you. Do not be tempted by offers from companies to sell you links. Remember, links are like reputation, you need a good one. So you should only consider quality links from respected sites in your industry.

When you do get someone to link to you the exact text they use for the link is important. The link text should be relevant and keyword rich. Do not allow a site to link to you with text such as "click here", make sure the text they use is descriptive. For example, if you're in the business of selling Blue Widgets a good link would be something like "Leading Supplier of Blue Widgets". Google likes link text that says what you do!
