What is link building?
“Link building can increase the number of high-quality links pointing to a website, in turn increasing the likelihood of the website ranking highly in search engine results. Link building is also a proven marketing tactic for increasing brand awareness.” – Wikipedia
In addition to this description by Wikipedia, I recommend reading this article which explains why link building / backlinks are important (including research and quotes from Google).
To summarize why link building is so important for any website, link building helps to:
- Improve search engine rankings
- Build relationships
- Receive referral traffic
- Build a brand
How to use the Link building tool?
The functionality offered by this tool is pretty straight forward, but here are a couple of quick tips to get you going.
1. Enter your Link building target keyword
When entering your keyword it’s important to keep a broad perspective. To do this it’s best to start off with general keywords. From this starting point you can get more and more specific with the keywords you select.
Example workflow:
> Broad keyword = Online marketing > More specific keyword = SEO > Keyword phrase = SEO freelancer.
2. Select your category
As explained above this tool is most effective when starting with a broad focus. And to help you with this I preselected a list of categories you can choose from. This category selection will automatically be used to generate additional link building idea’s (selecting a category is optional).
Additional features
- This tool will automatically set the number of search results from 10 to 100 to save you time when scanning trough the results.
- The query will be depersonalized by adding the “pws=0” query parameter.
Nofollow vs dofollow
Links with the attribute nofollow (rel=”nofollow”) don’t pass SEO value according to Google. This means you’re focusing on normal links (dofollow) links when possible. That being said, nofollow links can be extremely valuable like a link from Wikipedia.
