Main Social Media Inbound Link Types

Main Social Media Inbound Link Types

Directional Links: These are standard links back to your site from a variety
of web sites and directories that include a combination of title, short
description, and/or a business logo.

Content Links: These are links to your site found within the body of content
authored by you. The content is usually several paragraphs of text and
infographics such as a press release, a blog post, research and white
papers, or other information-based articles.

Social Media Links: Using social media sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter
and others are a great way to see who is saying something about you, but
also a good way to tell others what you're doing. You can also offer your
services as an industry resource or expert who gives advice to those who
need it. The overall requirement is simple, but time-consuming: participate
in conversations, don't just sell.

Social Sharing Links: These are referenced from media objects (e.g. videos,
images, etc) that serve to indicate the author of the object. This strategy
can include posting of "how to" videos on your related topics as well as
creating a variety of directional links from bookmarking sites like
StumbleUpon or De.licio.us.

In the next chapter, we'll discuss Directional Links and Content Links and
where you can begin building them for inbound traffic boosts.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above

Branding Tips - Know Your Target Market

Branding Tips - Know Your Target Market Feel free to read an article I wrote about Target Market Here. It is very important that you know your ideal customer and aim to market to your prospect.
