DO Self SEO - Search for SEO Link Partners
Written by Mark Hamilton
If you wish to generate links then the best way is to search for link partners. To do so, there are many ways, out of them few of them are as below:
- You may ask your suppliers to link to your site and in return you can link to theirs.
- You can also buy software which states high ranking sites and also emails them automatically asking the site owners to link to you and in return you link to them.
- Search for relevant sites and you may ask those site owners to link to you and in return you link to them.
Now, the fact cannot be ignored that this search for link partners is not effective and few of the reasons are:
- It is quite common that most of the link partner requests are through low PR sites to the ones which have high PR. Hence, it doesn’t helps the high PR sites if they accept the request from low PR site though it means a lot to low PR sites. Going further in detail on the same point in detail, even though you offer a reciprocal link back to your site, this might be an extra task for the webmaster. Furthermore, they don’t want to make their site look like a directory to the visitors.
- The approach for link partner request is usually done by sending out an email to the webmaster. Now, the webmaster receives this kind of requests and automated emails which goes in hundreds for everyday. Thus, these kind of emails are generally ignored or deleted and aren’t responded or even read.
This is something very important: It is ideal to search for link partner manually and to know how much the site is important is to check out the PR of that particular site. PR is the actual thing from which you can figure out whether the site is worth as a link partner or not. Google gives marks to every site out of 10 and any site scoring more than 4 is worth going ahead with. To know any site’s PR, you can download Google toolbar from: http://toolbar.google(dot)com.
How long does it take?
It is nearly impossible to say how much time you need to spend for generating links. The more the better. However, it will definitely take a while unrelated to whichever way you intend to use to generate links. You have to be on it until you see that your site has achieved high rankings. Thereafter as well, it is an ongoing process where you need to keep on spending some ongoing time for this task. If you fail to do so, it is natural that your rankings may go down.
Can links be generated on a faster pace?
Yes. It’s possible. However, if the above said methods are used, it may be unlikely possible.
If you have generated links on faster pace, the search engines won’t like it. For example: You may have 150 links today and tomorrow you may have 1500 links, the search might think there is something fishy and might sandbox your links. This way the search engines will delay until they check out that these are genuine and valid. Penalty is also a possibility here.
Hence, it is not advisable to create many likewise websites independently which has many links and those links back to your main site. You may be successful in getting many backlinks but a high possibility of getting your main site blacklisted.
