Hi, i would like to ask which kind of link building is consider as Quality link at the moment. Please, i know how to get link building, i just want to know what kind of link is consider as great and quality. For example, don't tell me go for blog commenting, i know blog commenting can get backlink, but what i want to know is does blog commenting consider as quality backlink ?
Quality backlinking means: Less outbond links on a page, one way link, high pr and the natural way. Google distinguishes natural way backlinking.
If your site is about coffee, a quality link would be one from an a coffee manufacturer with an established website (one that's been up and running for quite some time, that's regularly updated and provides quality information) a link from a site that talks about how coffee is planted, harvested, ground etc. A link from a site that makes coffee making utensils, such as mugs, peculators etc, a link from a site that reviews the different types of coffee beans. The point is that a good link is one that comes from an authority site one that's been up for a while, provides quality information and is regularly updated that's the kind of link that's a the one of the best kind.
Thanks for the information, actually what i want to ask is if my niche is about coffee, getting what kind of link from a coffee site is good ? in-context link ? comment's link ? or sidewide link ?
A link from within a content rich page from an authorative domain in the same or similar niche as the target link. Simple
Quality link: - from old & established site - related to you niche - dofollow - in-content link (avoid footer, etc.) - from site will less outbound links etc.
In fact, there are webmasters who maintain that it will be difficult to say if it is a related link or not if it is a one way link. For example, if you have a coffe site. And you link to a charity site. It can be somehow related. Of course it is not directly related. Buy the webmaster will decide if it is related or not if it is a one way link. (I got this idea from a gentlement who works in the field of link building) My own opinion is that we do not really know how the search engine define what does the notion of related links mean. But if you have ten links from sites related to coffee. Getting a link from a site not really related to yours may not hurt. And I think home page in-content link will be a good option.
We should also mention the fact that building links from related sites is not among the Google recommendations anymore.
It's more like a myth and something from the past than a proven fact. A link from http://www.nasa.gov/ would be of a great help for your site. But not because it's .gov I think.
Then what is google recommendations for the moment ? lol and is sig link good ? Personally, i think it look like spam for me, will it harm or benefit a site ?
It's good to have links in the same niche, but those aren't the only things that count. "Natural" link building is having a subject that many bloggers and webmasters talk about and will link back to you. I have studied dozens and dozens of Big Name websites and believe me, they all have many backlinks from sites that are not in their "niche". You have secular college websites backlinking to The Bible Gateway.com, you have Catholic websites backlinking to CNN, you have colleges and governmental agencies linking to YouTube, you have BlackRebelMotorcycleClub also linking to YouTube, you have the Department of Energy and Commerce (a .Gov website) linking to Microsoft, you have www.google.com linking to Whitehouse.gov (what does a search engine have to do with the United States Government?) and you have dozens and dozens of blogs of every type linking to ALL the big name websites. Relevant links in your niche are good, but they are not the only backlinks that count. Nor will you be penalized for non niche specific backlinks. Do you really believe that when people use Linkbait that ONLY sites in their specific niche post links back to their website?
That's the "word of the day". However, you have many webmasters who will swear that their PR and their position in Google increased due to .Edu and .Gov backlinks that they obtained.
I have no idea. Backlinks from unrelated sites? Google try to make SEO looks complicated when it's something logical. Oh well... By the way no external factor (incoming links for example) should hurt your site. Ever! Because obviously you have no control over incoming links and Google know that.
At some point it all becomes minutae because as stated natural linking will ultimately lead to links from good and bad sites, related/relevant and unrelated/irrelevant links...... I just discovered a link to my site from a gambling site. I don't know how it got there but we can't control who links to us as ZEXY says, now can we? Also the more linking I am doing, I am finding that relevent is not the same as related but close. Does google not prefer relevent sites? Relevant = implies a traceable, significant, logical connection Related = connected by reason of an established or discoverable relation Once you have the relevancy, then you need the linking site to have good content, age preferrably, updated but if your linking is to be "natural" you have to get links from other non relevant sites as well. I can't imagine a successful site only getting relevant sites to link to it. NOt only would that be impossible but I think it ignores that whether google intends it or not natural linking is natural and implies that many hundreds, thousands, millions of sites would link in due to the high quality content, blah, blah, blah and that is a good thing.
A quality link is a link that is related to your sites content...and sends you some traffic. Being related is what Google cares about. The traffic is what I care about.
Yeah traffic is important, what i am concern now is how google see the link as quality , not the traffic from the link lol. Anyway, seem like there is no real definition of quality link, because as i can see different people have different view. But i would like to ask, is it a few backlink from relevant in context link will outstanding other link such as sig, comments and etc ?
