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 ...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...

What Are QR codes?

What Are QR codes? They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone's t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet. The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can sca...
