I have had a few people ask me recently “why don’t people naturally link to my website?” Well the answer may be in the list below. I have conducted this list to show you a few comon mistakes people can make when looking for people to link to them naturally.

Your Website Is New – if your website is new people usually won’t link to you until your site is accepted by Google as being an acceptable source.

Your Website Is Slow – Why would anyone want to refer one of their visitors to your website if it is slow. The real question is could your site handle any more traffic than it currently gets if its that slow?

You Have Alot Of Outgoing Links – If your linking out to alot of other site, you could be considered as a link farm by the search engines, and therefore others do not want to be associated with your website.

You Have Duplicated Content – Duplicated content on any page on the internet is considered a bad thing by any search engine, especially Google. Your can get your site penalised for doing this, and no one will want to link to or from your website.

You Have No Contact Details – Most people who will link to you will want one back. If you have no contact details then they cant request a link back from you.

This is the first blog post for SEO Positive on the new website. What better way than to start with a blog post that will help you to build links to your site to increase search engine positions, and also increase your inbound traffic too.

Building links to your website is one of the most basic methods of building good quality, relevant, targeted traffic. If you build the right kind of links to your website you should notice an increase in your traffic, and in your positions too. The best places to have links from, are sites that have keyword rich content with lots of good quality, relevant incomming links themselves. This will help pass on some link juice through your link to your website.

There are many ways of building good quality links from high ranking websites that are relevant to yours with very little or no expense to you at all. The main two things that you need when building links is, time, and knowledge. The knowledge part I can give you, with the time part however, thats why many people employ an SEO company like us.

I will continue this blog every weekday for the next couple of months buy giving you a new link building tip each day. I will of course be writing other posts in the mean time. I will number each tip as I go in the title so you can be sure not to miss any of them. (Link Building Tip #1) for example.
