Off Page SEO / Link Building
Off page optimisation is basically the development of links coming in to your website. This helps your search engine strategy in two main ways; Firstly and most importantly links to your website from others are seen as votes of confidence and are cleverly considered by the search engines as to how much they should influence your ranking positions.
Generally speaking the more relevant the link, the more it helps. For example a web designer linking to a photographer would be good for the photographer. That's not even considering what PageRank is involved, the content on the page, the anchor text used or even the other sites that link to that web designer's page which are all other important factors.
The second benefit is obviously the flow of potential clients/customers who will follow that link. If your lucky enough to get a link on a very highly frequented website for free then there is great potential for new visitors to find out about what you have to offer.
Analysing another websites competing backlinks is often the most effective way to decide just how tricky and timely the process of getting you to a level playing field will be.
Paid links in general are frowned upon by search engines which is ironic considering they each promote such a vast paid facility themselves. However, sometimes the benefits outway the possibility of being penalised and this is where we can advise and the monitor with tracking for future analysis.
