I want to know one thing.If i have a site and i place links to other websites,does that matter for SEO?Is that good?And if yes,how much good?
Lets be clear. If you have a web site whatever.com and someone else has another site, lets call it, somethingelse.com (These are NOT real sites as far as I know - lol) and you put a link from his site onto yours, that creates whats called "Link Popularity" for him, not you. You need other people to put up links to your site for it to be good for you.
And try to get people linking to your site without having to give them a link in return! One way links are 10x better for your site than link exchanges
which sites are you providing links? if you are giving link to a link farm or a drug site, i think your site will be red flagged but if you are providing link to a normal site, it's good for your seo
If you place links to other websites that is not related to your site and bad neighborhood it won't give any benefit to your site.
Links from other sites will help you while if you put links of other sites to your site then you will help them....hehehe....improve your link popularity and use your targeted keywords as your anchor text and it might help you rank well on SEs on such keywords...
Some external links are a good thing, as it allows google bot to move to different sites rather than just stopping at your site.
God. Sorry but have to inject. Today having some out going links to authority sites will help you a little, it's good for your visitors as well which is a benefit to your website. Yes one way link are best of all, but I have sites from old still ranked and stuck from just quality link exchange. I still do that a bit anyway, yes anchor text is most important, but mix it up a little. Jay
I agree FirespinJay, I belive click through rate could be a potential ranking factor. Plus it makes for a better user experience which Google is all in favour of.
No not adsense. CTR between pages of your website, and may be if they go click on external links after that. If you have a high click through rate then its obviously good content and people want to see more.
So how does Google know who clicks when and on what on your website? What if the website is done in flash?
If your site is done in flash then you dont know much about SEO. Unless you cloak your flash site but thats another topic. Who knows what tools and stats Google has about your site. Just my 2 cents worth.
Get those sites to link to you to. Link exchange Buying links Submitting to directories Those are the ways. Pm me if you need more help
Linking to a bad neighbourhood? There are chances it might even damage you. But linking to quality websites, which are also related to yours, that's something that might help, particularly with rankings, a less with traffic and PR.
