What Is SEO For Website Backlinks?

Surely it is not the first time you have read in a multitude of blogs about SEO or in interviews with specialists in the sector how crucial is the construction of a careful and constant link building strategy. In fact, it has been proven that the links are the cornerstone for a website to improve its positioning , gain relevance and increase its visibility on the Google results page. Finally, all these achievements will result in more visits to our website, which in turn means more possibilities to meet our conversion objective, either to sell, increase the number of subscribers, etc.

It does not stop here. An improvement in the positioning of our site will mean gaining the game little by little to COMPETITION , a factor too important to underestimate, right? Because it’s time to “put the batteries”, let’s start from the beginning.

WHAT ARE THE BACKLINKS AND WHY OF THEIR IMPORTANCE

The backlinks are inbound links that point to our website. For example, if on the web http://www.elnombredetuweb.comthere is a link to http://www.otraweb.com , we would say that the latter has a backlink of http://www.elnombredetuweb.com .

From the origins of SEO, the work of getting links for a web (linkbuilding) has been considered as one of the essential actions and with the greatest impact to achieve a good positioning in search engines such as Google.

However, the linkbuilding little by little has been professionalized and nothing is left of the link building strategies that were being done. Before, the important thing was to receive a lot of links to our website but there came a time when everything changed. Specifically, it was on April 24, 2012 when Google launched its first update of the Google Penguin algorithm, which would later be followed by other adjustments.

From that moment until now, the great search engine has its attentive look at the suspicious links made artificially , always pointing to the same page, with the same anchor text as well as being done in a very short time.

So, how should incoming links now be to respond to the rules of the game? :

• Of quality , taking into account the relevance and “reputation” of the websites from which they link us.
• NATURALNESS. Here is the key . The attainment of backlinks should be gradual because achieving many links overnight is no longer valid.
• Google becomes semantic and takes into account the context in which that link is located. To give relevance, the search engine analyzes the text surrounding the link to determine if there is a relationship between the two and consistency with the content it points to.
• Take care of the anchor text of that link and play with different keywords when generating your backlinks. In this way, you will be able to improve your positioning by different search terms.

Why are backlinks important for your SEO strategy?

Far from being one more piece of any search engine positioning action, the attainment of inbound links to your website will have an effect on:

• The improvement of the positions of your web or blog in the SERPs of Google.
• The visibility that your site obtains in Google, making the user reach it before the websites of your competition.
• Direct traffic to your website , which translates into more visits and chances to increase sales or marked conversion goals.
• The authority of your web . We must understand links as new friends, friends who refer to us because they trust what we offer to others. Therefore, we say that the current linkbuilding has evolved. The automatic unreason is over by an arduous and constant management based on building relationships and lasting, coherent and authentic value recommendations . Public relations thus reach the world of SEO.

Recommendations to get quality backlinks and win the game to your competition

After all this parliament, you will say: “Yes, okay, this is all very well, but how do I get a good incoming link to my website?” . Take note of these tips and the type of backlinks that your website is screaming for:

• Links of Page Rank Medium-High . Maybe this Google parameter has lost the strength it had a few years ago, but we should not remove it from our sight. For this reason, try to link to relevant websites with a high Page Rank. Also, do not forget to keep in mind parameters of relevance such as those provided by MOZRank or LIS (Link Influence Score) , currently essential to assess and analyze the quality and type of links.
• Social Network Links: Work your backlinks strategy on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and, above all, Google+, to which the off-road search engine gives more relevance. At this point, we recommend that you generate quality content that impacts your followers. Your thanks in the form of +1, I like or retweets are valued as recommendations that Google values, positively influencing your web positioning.
• Links from different IPs . Work hard so that the websites from which you are linked come from sites hosted on different servers. This diversity naturalizes your linkbuilding strategy and Google will thank you for the “detail” with a positive point.
• Links from .edu and .gov domains : The achievement of a link from educational institutions (for example, universities) or government entities is difficult but not impossible. Due to its trajectory and the interest that these pages arouse, a backlink from them will give more relevance to your website.
• Guest posting : A few months ago Matt Cutts played down this technique, but many of us still think that, as long as it is done correctly, it continues to have the desired effectiveness. This technique consists in asking a reference blogger or an authority page to publish a quality content in your blog / web in exchange for a link to your web correctly integrated and with naturalness in the content. The origin of a link from an authority page will help your website, as well as give more visibility to your project and bring traffic to your website from a blog that receives a high volume of visits per day.
• Report broken links If there is a page from which you would like to be linked but you notice that you have broken links, contact them and let them know. This help will help you to change the link broken by a link to your site with relevant content and quality for the user.
