Advanced Link Building Strategies

We all understand that building links is one of the things that must be done. Since Google looks at the links which point to your content critically, it is also vitally important that each marketer focuses on learning solid techniques for building the highest quality links possible. Unfortunately, it also seems like many of us fall into a routine with our link building efforts. If this is your situation, there are a number of things that can be done to get you out of your article writing and submission rut or forum commenting wall.

Technical Link Building Ideas

If you have simply run out of ideas for your link building campaigns, consider doing some research. Taking a look at the link profiles of your competition can be very instructive. Using tools such as Majestic SEO and Open Site Explorer can be great methods of going about this.

Building tiered links can also be a great strategy. Take some of your already existing links and build links to them. This actually helps to strengthen the impact of your first tier, or primary, links and should get you a bit more search engine juice.

Focus on some deep linking. Many marketers only appear to be concerned with linking to the first page or two of their sites. Instead, try focusing on building at least a few links to pages that are deeper into your site. This can help to increase the chances of having even more of your pages and posts rank well in the search engines.

Content Marketing Ideas

Everyone dreams of having content that goes viral. But instead of just dreaming about this, why not actually take a critical look at content that actually has gone viral? Try to break it down and isolate the factors that made it go viral. Then apply these lessons and factors to your own campaigns, in an effort to help increase the number of inbound links that you earn.

Consider repurposing your content. Take something that you have published and then turn it into multiple formats. For example, consider taking your article and turning it into a pdf file and then maybe adapt it into a video or an audio interview. Not only are these great ways to increase audience engagement, but it also makes it much easier to continue developing content.

On Site Techniques

One of the first things you need to do is fixing and cleaning up your internal links. Make sure that every post or page you have has a link to at least one other page on your site. It only makes sense to take care of putting your own house in order before attempting additional linking strategies.

Look for 404 pages within your own site. Obviously, you never want a visitor to use an inbound link which points to a page that is no longer on your site. To avoid this, you need to discover links that are pointing to non-existent pages and then use some redirects to send visitors to a current (and related) page.

Curating content can also be a great way to build links. This simply involves finding other valuable content and posting it on your site, along with your thoughts or explanations. Obviously, make sure to give credit to the original source. If you do this properly, it will be an excellent way to provide excellent content for your visitors as well as garnering a lot of inbound links.

Any marketer stuck in a link building rut would be well advised to try these ideas. Even just mastering a few of them can help keep your site moving forward, developing new links and rising up through the search engine rankings while adding some great content for your visitors.

If you’re looking for a short-cut, you might want to consider the trackback collector software for automatically going out and getting backlinks for you.

Here’s How to Direct Traffic to Your Top Content

A solid backlink strategy is helpful in bringing in traffic to your website, but wouldn’t it be great if their first impression was of a page containing some of your top content? Backlink strategies focus mainly on sharing links for all the content you produce, so people may come in to see some of your older, mediocre stuff. While you strive to push out spectacular content each and every time, there’s always a select few that make it to the top. Local SEO companies can help you build pathways for online visitors to take, so that they do find your best content.

Here’s a look at what you can do with your web design to help drive more traffic to your top pieces.

Create Internal Pathways (aka Links)

You’d be surprised to see how many websites fail to utilize an internal linking structure. Most people aren’t going to spend too much time on your site digging around, so you have to point them in the right direction. You can see this being done on certain sites, where links to related content are implemented. You can also direct people to other areas of the site, such as the products page, services page or about us page.

Tips for Making Internal Links Work

If you have done absolutely no internal linking throughout your site, then it’s a good idea to consult with local SEO companies and consider having this done for you by an internet marketing agency (especially if you have hundreds of pages on your site already).

Meanwhile, the following tips can be used to help ensure your internal link building efforts are fruitful:

Use a tool like Open Site Explorer to determine the current linking structure of your website.
Create links to orphan pages, which are those that don’t have a parent page to direct to it.
Start putting contextual links in all of your blog posts, linking to other relevant posts on your website.
Use keyword-rich anchor text for all of your links to help boost your search engine optimization.
Forget about links from JavaScript and Flash, since these aren’t crawled by search engine spiders.
Use different colors for links to help users identify where links are in the text.
Never spam a page with a bunch of links – it looks bad to visitors and search engines hate this.
Make sure the links you add are relevant and add value to the visitor.
Internal link building takes time, but it’s well-worth the effort. However, if you don’t have the patience or are just too busy to do it yourself, then look for local SEO companies that can perform this task for you.

Find Out How Successful People Think So You May Be Successful Too

Do you think successful people are just plain lucky?

Successful people did not become successful because they were lucky.

They did not achieve success by accident. Being at the right place at the right time, meeting relevant people, reading the appropriate book, did not come about accidentally or by luck.

Luck is brought about by Labour Under Correct Knowledge.

Successful people prepared themselves. Instead of giving up on anything they started and wanted to achieve they got stronger by learning more.

Success is a methodical, orderly and deliberate process of deciding what you want to do with your life, what are the steps that you need to undertake to get you there, and lastly what you will do once you get there.

One of the most important aspects, if not the most important aspect to success, is the ability to visualise your successful outcome and stay focused on it until you achieve it.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge, knowledge is limited.” – Albert Einstein

Successful people understood the potential power behind knowledge, yet they also understood that, for them to close the gap between where they are and where they wanted to be, they would have to piece together the enigma that is most often referred to as “life”.

They had to build a picture, a vision, of success in their mind, and then go about taking action on creating that envisioned life.

In much the same way, you have to be serious about your present and future, you need to have the knowledge that is required so you, too, may close the gap: you need to be and remain determined to devote yourself to taking massive action to build your business of succeeding in life.

You, too, will need to see the end, your dream and destiny that you desire in your mind’s eye. It is up to you to take the necessary and relevant action to make it all happen. It’s just like going to the doctor with a particular health problem.

The doctor may prescribe a medication for you to take four times a day, yet he cannot be there with you to ensure that you are taking the medication.

It comes back to deciding to be responsible for your life.

Have you noticed how it all stems from that one attitude? Being responsible for your own life.

Your success, your being responsible 100% for you to live your dream life starts here.

When you accept 100% responsibility for yourself and your current life situation, you will have the power to move towards those things you truly desire in life: which is success in all areas of your life.

This life-changing article is about possibilities and opportunities, knowledge and tools. It will help expose your unique course in life.

It will inspire, support and motivate you to excel, to do what successful people do, to have all that successful people have, and to become a shining example of a successful person.

Here, you’re not being told what you couldn’t do, instead you are being told to shoot for the stars. And above all, you are being shown how to shoot for those stars.

“A person is what he thinks about all day long.” – Emerson

Interesting thought, wouldn’t you think? So much so, it’s worth repeating: “A person is what he thinks about all day long.”

Success and happiness cannot happen if you possess the same old thoughts and beliefs.

If you do not change your mind, if you do not get rid of the unsupportive thoughts and beliefs, you will inevitably remain stuck in your old ways. Not much, if anything, will change.

Let’s give you a quick overview on how change comes about:

Your BEHAVIOUR, how you act (or perhaps do not act), controls your success or failure. Your ability to attain high levels of success is dependent upon your actions and behaviours. Your results are the outcome of your behaviour. Now let’s consider where your behaviours come from and what controls them?

Your FEELINGS command your behaviour. Every action that you take is first filtered through your feelings that reside in your subconscious mind. How you feel about something determines what you do and how well you do it. So where do your feelings come from?

Your ATTITUDES create and influence your feelings. Your attitude is your perspective from which you view life. Whatever attitude you have about anything will affect how you feel, which, in turn, affects how you act. Where do your attitudes come from?

Your BELIEFS create, control and influence your attitudes. What you believe about anything will determine your attitude about it, which will create your feelings, and then which will direct your behaviour and action. Belief patterns are so powerful that two people who are in the same situation could perceive things completely differently. It only requires us to believe what we see and how we see it. We all have thousands of beliefs – big and small. And where do your beliefs come from?

Your THOUGHTS create, control and influence your beliefs. Your thoughts are real and are immensely powerful. Everything you accept from the outside world and everything you feed yourself from within is a product of your thoughts. Everything starts as a thought.

So, it goes without saying you need to learn to control your thoughts. And when you do, you will automatically control your beliefs, your attitudes, your feelings and, consequently, your behaviour and actions.

The big secret to success:

Learn to control your thoughts and you will influence your behaviours and actions. It’s all a mind-set. That’s what we’ve been saying all along.

Success is predictable and is not achieved by accident.

Have the mind-set of the successful people and you will achieve success. Believe and it is yours!

“There is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.” – Joel Osteen

Science of success experts have concluded that the brain is a goal-setting organism.

That is fantastic news for us: for whatever goal we give to our subconscious mind, it will work for us day and night, 24/7, to achieve it for us; to make it a reality.

The principal breakthrough that scientists made was that we do not need to waste our precious time and effort trying to change old thoughts and behaviours: we just simply create new ones.

And the other discovery they made was that we can continue to create new thoughts, new memories, new behaviours, new skills, and learn new things for as long as we are alive on this earth.

Now, with the new discoveries in recent years, it has been scientifically proven that our capacity to achieve and succeed literally has no limits.

Our brain has the capacity to continually learn during our entire lifetime.

Our brain can form new thoughts, can have new memories, and can learn new things by the millions, no matter what your age is. By the millions.

That’s how many new things we can learn, that’s how many new skills we can learn, that’s how many new thoughts we can have, that’s how many new behaviours we can adopt.

This is encouraging because there is no limit on your capacity to achieve new things.

No limits whatsoever for the human brain to learn, memorise, develop, achieve and perform at higher levels than ever imagined. It makes no difference what your age is: you are capable of learning anything new that you want to learn.

That adds to what we spoke of earlier: no more excuses.

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X

Your brain has the capacity to achieve way beyond what was ever thought possible. So now is the time to break out of your limited thinking and start dreaming big and imagining unlimited possibilities.

Becoming successful is not impossible.

It is a choice you make through a decision. Every day, step-by-step, you may climb the mountain of success if you’ve decided to do so, if you’re committed to accomplish what the others think impossible.

Design your future now.

Prepare to receive what you desire.

Thanks to the phenomenal advances made in cognitive science and the development of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), personal change, personal transformation, has come a very long way.

In fact, personal growth is no longer a mystery.

NLP has brought to light that change, transformation and growth can be fast, reliable, and even fun. It has shown us that we do not need to spend thousands of hours slaving away to increase our creative-thinking abilities.

By practicing a few simple exercises and applications, you can start your creative juices flowing, and you may even amaze yourself at the quality and quantity of good ideas that you can come up with to expedite your success.

It can allow you to achieve something you seek within days and months as opposed to years and decades. That’s the power of the progress science has made on how the brain works, and also how you can have your mind to be your best ally in achieving anything you want.

Learn to live as you like by no longer living as you dislike.

Are you ready to get on the road to success and fulfilment?

Bear in mind, much like everything else in life, success requires practice and massive, consistent action.

Live Your Life To Please God

Open your Bible to 1 Thessalonians 4:1 it says… Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. Go ahead and highlight that scripture.

Will you trust God to teach you in the way you should go? You need wisdom to live for His righteousness, His love and devotion to Christ Jesus. You see, you have to develop the habit of listening to God. He may give you direction you have never had before. Like what? God wants you under the influence of His Word. God wants you to live by godly principles in His Word.

God wants you to give Jesus first place! This is vital for your Christian walk! Jesus is your connection to the throne of God. You see, in this world, it is very easy to become distracted from God. Many people follow some other path apart from God’s will. But the foundation of all spiritual truth is obedience to God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible tells you to praise the Lord! He is truly worthy of worship. Love no one not even yourself – more than you love God. Every morning you should be asking God to fill you with His presence. You want to be filled by the Spirit so that you’re led by Him. You love the Word, study the Word and learn the Word. Why? To live your life to please God. His Word is true wisdom for you to walk in His instructions.

If you want to live your life to please God give His Word a place of first priority! Scriptures will come alive on the inside of you. You’re knowing God for yourself and the importance of being led by the Spirit of God. Many people won’t like the new you, but you’re not living to please people, you’re living to please God.

You don’t need people approval when you have God’s approval! You want the praise of God more than the praise of people. Quit worrying about what everyone thinks and do what God has put in your heart.

God will put a new testimony in your mouth! You may think there is a lot wrong with you, but there is also a lot right with you. God is continually shaping and molding into the person He wants you to be. Stop focusing on what you can’t do, and start focusing on what God can do.

Serve God and worship Him and continue to seek His will. How? You have to establish a passionate relationship with God’s Word. Believe His Word, trust His Word, study His Word, thank Him for His Word. But always remember the devil will do everything he possibly can to lure you away from God. The devil does not want you to grow in the knowledge of King Jesus.

Many people never seriously read the Bible! But you need to be a student of God’s Word and doer of God’s ways. Be a Christian that reads scripture and prays. The Holy Spirit won’t adjust to you, you must adjust to Him! Use your voice to worship Him and lift up the name of Jesus! Now, raise your hands and say, “I live to please God, more and more!”
