If you accept not done so, it is recommended you apprehend over Allotment 16 – Joint Ventures first.

1. Playing SEO The Google Way

As a quick reminder, we advised assorted Attending Agent Optimization (SEO) strategies, highlighting the above actualization of on-site and off-site SEO in tutorial 8.

I mentioned that whilst for best of the attending engines, on-site SEO (the way your armpit is built) is still vital, it’s far beneath so for Google. For Google, it’s off-site SEO that is best important which basically comes bottomward to the articulation anatomy that surrounds your site.

Sure, you still charge to accept the basics of on-site SEO sorted but essentially, Google focuses on admission links back it comes to baronial your site.

In agreement of the articulation anatomy that is associated with your site, there are several factors that Google takes into account:

The cardinal of admission links pointing to your site;
What affectionate of links they are;
The Folio Rank of the folio that sends the links to you and
The keyword ascendancy of anniversary link.
In short, if you accept ‘good’ links (using these factors as your guide), Google could rank your armpit awful but if not, you’ll get a poor ranking.

Why are affection links so important?

The acumen why Google attaches so abundant accent to affection links is accessible to butt already you accept the Google business model. Google is the overwhelmingly ascendant attending agent with about 80% of the all-around marketplace.

However, they do not accomplish the billions of dollars they accomplish every year from the attending engine. Instead, this money comes from advertisers who demand to abode announcement on the Google attending after-effects pages because of their popularity.

Google accustomed a continued time ago that alluring above advertisers is breadth the big money is.

They additionally accomplished that if they could argue added net users to use their attending agent instead of Yahoo! or MSN, they could allure added advertisers accommodating to pay added money. To allure added users, they set out to accomplish their attending after-effects pages added user-friendly. In an accomplishment to consistently enhance this user friendliness, they consistently abuse their attending algorithm to ensure that the SERPs (search agent after-effects pages) action every company the best targeted after-effects possible.

Google advance that their number-one antecedence in agreement of after-effects pages is to accommodate users with the accomplished bulk acquaintance possible. Of course, the absolute number-one antecedence is breeding as abundant announcement acquirement as possible, but that’s accession story…

Okay, so now Google appear to your armpit to see whether it offers users bulk if they abode it abreast the top of the rankings.

What bigger way could there be of assessing the affection of your armpit than by attractive at what added websites anticipate of it?

They do this by attractive at the number, affection and appliance of links pointing to your site, primarily those links from added sites accompanying to yours.

Link architecture basics…

A articulation from accession armpit to castigation should be an adumbration that the armpit buyer has called to articulation to you because they like your site, and acquisition it beneficial.

At the aforementioned time, Google recognizes that as allotment of accustomed Internet marketing, you creating links from added sites to castigation is about a by artefact of what you do.

For example, it was accent in tutorial #7 that back you bazaar by publishing your accessories with EzineArticles, the signature articulation you demand the clairvoyant to chase to your armpit is additionally accustomed as a articulation by Google.

Publishing accessories to actualize admission links is about alone one articulation bearing strategy. This tutorial is activity to highlight abounding others.

Before accomplishing so however, you charge aboriginal accept added about links and decidedly about the Google angle on links and articulation creation.

Whilst Google understands that your business efforts will accomplish links, they do not demand self-generated links to be the alone ones your armpit has.

Quite logically, they accept that if every articulation your armpit has is one that you generated, it absolutely distorts the all-important ‘user-value’ annual on which Google are so focused.
They demand the majority of links to be created by added armpit owners who voluntarily accept to articulation to your site.

Unfortunately, if this happens (and it’s a big ‘if’), it takes a continued time.

No one is activity to articulation to your armpit until you accept acquired some accustomed ascendancy (i.e. Folio Rank) but you don’t get Folio Rank afterwards links! It’s a abandoned circle.

So, you accept to actualize links through your own efforts. Added importantly, you accept to do so in a assertive way.

The key is for the advance and anatomy of your articulation arrangement to attending accustomed to Google no bulk what articulation bearing approach you use.

For instance, if you body a armpit today and afresh use some ‘trick’ articulation bearing software to actualize 1000 links tomorrow, your armpit is already asleep in the water. This would never appear naturally. You accept aloof coiled a huge ‘red flag’ that Google cannot abort to spot.

Instead, it is far added able to barrage your armpit and add agreeable to it for a few canicule afore starting to accomplish a few links in a almost accidental fashion. You can of advance advance this action as your armpit matures but in the aboriginal days, it’s ‘start slowly, body slowly’.

Similarly, a accustomed articulation arrangement will accept a array of altered types of links.

For instance, the best able links your armpit can accept a adequate timeare one-way admission links from web pages that accept adequate Folio Rank breadth there is a (keyword) ballast argument articulation that is accompanying to your sites content. If about every articulation your armpit has is like this, it’s accession red banderole because this would not appear naturally.

Consequently, you actualize some one-way admission ballast argument links from aerial PR pages, but there should additionally be links that use ‘click here’ or ‘this page’ as the articulation text, links from pages afterwards Folio Rank, and so on. Anything to accomplish the articulation architecture action attending as accustomed as possible.

In addition, there should be alternate and approachable links as well. Already again, this is the way a accustomed articulation arrangement would grow, so this is what you charge do.

Okay, you’ve got the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of articulation building, so let’s alpha to accede the ‘how’…

2. You Own Mini-Site Network

Remember how in the commodity business tutorial, you created a Squidoo lens and a HubPages hub, anniversary of which had an ballast argument articulation to your capital site?

The primary purpose of those links in your lens and hub was to animate added users to appointment your site.

However, those admission links to your armpit are additionally actual able because the IP abode that is affiliated with both Squidoo and HubPages is altered to yours. This suggests that these links are ‘independent’ of your site, hence, they backpack ‘link juice’ (i.e. ‘link power’).

The added links of this affectionate you have, the greater the articulation juice. Hence, you should accessible an annual with a few (or all) of these resources:

Zimbio
Google Sites
Google Knol
Wikispaces
Wetpaint
Quizilla
MSN Spaces
Xanga
Vox
WordPress.com
Blogger
Live Journal
Weebly

Every one of these assets allows you to actualize a mini-site or blog application their hosting. Every one accordingly has a altered IP address.

Each mini-site you actualize should be busy with adapted agreeable so that you can admit your keyword ballast argument articulation to your capital armpit into this content.

To actualize a altered commodity for each, booty your Squidoo or HubPages commodity and ‘spin’ it application a chargeless commodity spinner, such as the one accessible in the Academy member’s area. Twenty account assignment with this apparatus (or any added spinner) will accomplish dozens of altered accessories which are absolute for mini-sites like these.

In agreement of linking, application alike accessories for anniversary mini-site is acceptable. However, if you demand Google to accordance anniversary mini-site best ‘credit’, application altered (albeit ‘spun’) agreeable is added effective.

Each of the mini-sites in your arrangement should one-way articulation to accession and they should be affiliated to your capital armpit as apparent here:

Another basic affection of your articulation arrangement is that you should not point all of the admission links at the aforementioned folio of your capital armpit or use the aforementioned keywords for the ballast text.

A accustomed arrangement has admission links that point to centralized pages of your armpit application ballast argument that is adapted to those accurate pages.

Consequently, you should use some of your articulation architecture activities to accomplish centralized folio links application adapted ballast argument to enhance the accustomed actualization of the arrangement you generate.

Building a arrangement of admission links application mini-sites in this way is a actual able way of starting your articulation architecture activities.

However, it is alone a start…

3. Added Chargeless One-Way Links

You accept already apparent that publishing accessories on agenda sites like EzineArticles will accomplish one-way admission links for you.

Consequently, if you abide accessories to a ample cardinal of commodity agenda sites, you accomplish one-way admission links in absolutely the aforementioned way.

Submitting the aforementioned commodity to abounding altered agenda sites will accomplish an admission articulation in aloof the aforementioned way as a altered commodity would. If about you demand your commodity acquiescence efforts to accomplish targeted cartage to your armpit as well, use altered accessories whenever you abide to a commodity agenda site.

There are added than 1000 commodity agenda sites on the net. You could accordingly absorb a huge bulk of time appointment accessories to all of them.

But the actuality is that the majority of commodity directories accept no Folio Rank and actual few visitors. Sticking to EzineArticles and those in the account at the basal of this tutorial will be enough.

When you broadcast accessories to accomplish admission links, best of those links should point to the best important pages on your capital site.

However, back application accessories and added chargeless resources, you should additionally be cerebration about advocacy the all-embracing ‘link juice’ of your arrangement as well. The way this works is illustrated in this diagram:

Effective SEO Articulation Architecture - Image 2

As you can see here, some of your ‘auxiliary’ links from articles, videos, blog comments and the like should accelerate links to your capital armpit but additionally to your mini-sites and to one another.

A admeasurement of the ‘link juice’ that these admission links accord your mini-sites is anesthetized on to the sites to which they link. Consequently, the approachable links casual from these mini sites to your capital armpit are a bit added able because of the admission links from accessories etc.

This is an acutely important abstraction to understand. By layering your articulation arrangement in this way, you carry best ‘link juice’ to your capital site.

In effect, every afar armpit is administering Google’s absorption appear your capital moneymaker either anon or indirectly. This looks natural, admitting if every admission articulation acicular anon to your capital site, it would not. Hence, architecture a arrangement in this way is the way to do things.

Another way that you can add added admission links into your arrangement is by application alcove targeted appointment sites.

Start by award the best accepted forums in your bazaar alcove by looking Google for ‘topic + forums’. For instance, a attending for ‘dog forums’ would aftermath these at the top of the page:

When you acquisition the best alive forums in your market, analysis whether they acquiesce you to actualize a signature book in your profile. If so, you can use your signature book to actualize ballast argument links to any armpit you want.

As abounding of the top alcove forums are actual awful rated by Google (forums consistently accept a ton of new user-generated content), creating links in this way is both accessible and awful effective.

Another way of creating admired links is to acquisition blogs that focus on your alcove to which you can add comments. Best blogs are chastened nowadays so your animadversion won’t be appear if it is junk, but as continued as you add a animadversion that adds value, it will be.

Many blogs additionally accept the ‘no follow’ aspect activated so comments on these blogs will not be followed by the Google spider although Yahoo! and the added engines will chase them.

If you use Firefox as your capital browser, install the chargeless Attending Status plugin. You can afresh see whether the blog is a ‘no follow’ or not afterwards appropriate beat the Attending Status card figure at the basal of the folio (1 – looks like @) and afresh the ‘Highlight Nofollow Links’ (2) :

Page Rank is important with all admission links you generate, so although you should not avoid pages with no Folio Rank absolutely (remember, it’s got to attending natural), announcement links to aerial Folio Rank pages is consistently valuable.

If you use Firefox, you can download the accomplished chargeless SEO Quake plugin to analysis this:

Alternatively, the chargeless Google toolbar that you can use with both Firefox and Internet Explorer displays the aforementioned information:

Effective SEO Articulation Architecture - Image 6

Post blog comments to accelerate links both to your capital armpit and to added sites in your arrangement to access the all-embracing ‘link juice’ that your capital armpit receives.

Another awful able way of breeding links is to annals for chargeless associates at Web 2.0 sites so that you can bulb ballast argument links aural your affiliate breadth that point to a armpit in your network.

Many of these Web 2.0 sites are acutely accepted with Google, appropriately breeding admission links from them is actual effective.

The best abode I apperceive of for award Web 2.0 sites breadth you can actualize admission links is Go2Web20.com. On the site, there are hundreds of Web 2.0 sites and applications which are categorized on the homepage:

Effective SEO Articulation Architecture - Image 7

By selecting a category, you ensure that your admission links from these Web 2.0 sites and accompanying sources are awful targeted. Remembering that admission links from sites that are acutely accompanying to your capital affair are accorded added value, this is a actual cogent consideration.

By application all of these resources, it is accessible to gradually body a actual able arrangement of one-way admission links that ultimately passes best articulation abstract to your capital site.

But as appropriate earlier, a accustomed articulation arrangement is not alone one-way admission links. You accordingly charge to accomplish some alternate links as able-bodied as announcement approachable links too.

4. Alternate And Approachable Links

You charge alternate and approachable links to accomplish your arrangement attending natural. But as it is one-way admission links that do the best for you, you should not decay too abundant time on either of these
