Why hello there, long time no see!

Recently updated over at Basic-Directory.com was a list containing one hundred social bookmarking sites, containing the sites’ names, PageRank, and whether the bookmarks posted there are no-follow and do-follow. Surprisingly, there’s a few that are actually do-follow, which have high Google PageRanks at that.

Believe it or not, internal page linking plays a very important role in search engine page ranking placements, also known as SERPs, and adding links to other pages of your site in search results that your site [will] dominate(s) in.

Internal page linking is simply linking to pages within your site or domain name. In a basic principle, the more you link to a page within your site, the more “authority” it has over other pages. By the term authority that I am using, I mean a cross between your site’s feature and the page’s placement.

For example, suppose you own a site offering a service. Being that the service is something that you are selling, and most-likely what your site is about or what you excel in, you’d want to focus on linking to that service information page so that [hopefully] your service web page will attain great placement within search engines and certain keywords. Whatever you have to offer, sell, or promote, that is what your website is featuring. If you are internally linking to the page containing information about that feature, you are giving it more authority than say your website’s homepage, so that hopefully your feature will arise in search engines for certain keywords. After-all, the point of a website is to offer something (which again, is your feature), whether that be a product, service, or information, you want potential customers to find it.

External links may play an important role in promotion and search engine rankings – external links help search engines find your site and its pages – internal page linking is very important for both visitor and search engine optimization. Whatever your site is featured about, be sure to link to that feature as much as you can. The more you link to internal pages, the better placement those pages will receive. Please note, however, that when linking to internal pages, you really want to create content to make the link relavent for best placement. You can’t just throw in links to internal pages and expect your placement to get better – that’s not only spam, but search engines follow specific algorithms. For navigational menus, plain text is fine, but really, when you link to internal pages, try to create some content and throw the link to your internal page in there.

To follow up on my do-follow blog resource post, I have decided to post an alternative way to find do-follow blogs, so that you can find relevant niche blogs to gain quality backlinks from.

NOTE: Again, I must stress that if you use do-follow blogs to build links, that is fine, but DO NOT spam. Read the posts that you comment on, and post inciteful, intelligent comments regarding the content. Otherwise, your post will most-likely be deleted and/or marked as spam, and that would be a complete waste of time.

As you may already know, blogs that allow do-follow links have a plugin installed to disable the nofollow attribute. Simply search Google using the following search term to find those blogs with the plugin enabled, to find relavent blogs that allow do-follow links:

Relevant keyword “Remember my personal information” “Notify me of follow-up comments”

So, if I wanted to build links back to Linkative, I would obviously search for something relating to this blog’s content, such as SEO, link building, or internet marketing, using the following search term to find do-follow blogs that would relate to my site, so I would get a nice, strong, relevant backlink:

building links “Remember my personal information” “Notify me of follow-up comments”

Hell, I could even do a boolean search and kill two birds with one stone:

building links or internet marketing “Remember my personal information” “Notify me of follow-up comments”

Well, now you know a free and easy method to build relavent backlinks to your website. It’s NOT spam if you make relavent comments to the post’s content. Please, DO NOT spam, as stated before. This method could be a quick and easy way to increase your search engine rankings, and possibly even traffic (depending on how much traffic the posts that you comment receive and its PageRank). ;]
