Social
media,
backlinks,
and website
optimization
have on generating organic Internet
traffic.
Anyone who uses the Internet knows what social
media is.
Once you have started to dabble in the Internet marketing world
chances are pretty good you quickly learn what SEO
is as well. At Leaders Marketing the biggest question that we find a
lot of people involved in the Internet marketing world asking is what
exactly are backlinks?
A
backlink is a link on another website that directs traffic back to
your website. Backlinks are also commonly referred to as inbound and
outbound links. There are some search engines that use backlinks as a
way to determine a website's popularity. This in turn can help
improve the search engine ranking of your website which is going to
bring in more organic Internet
traffic.
We were able to learn something else about
backlinks as well. We learned that when it comes to backlinks it is
not just enough to get them placed on any website. What websites the
backlinks to your website are on play a role in building the
credibility and reputation of your website. This means that you want
to make sure that backlinks to your website are going on relevant
sites. After all, it is not going to do any good to draw
Internet traffic to
your website if they are not interested in the content of it.
We also discovered that there is a huge
benefit to getting your backlinks placed on EDU websites. This is
because EDU is a domain name that is associated with educational and
informative sites. When an individual visits an EDU website they feel
comfortable in the fact that they can trust the information on the
website. Having a backlink to your website on a EDU site is the
number one way to improve the credibility and reputation of your own
site.
