One way links to your website

one way vs reciprocal links

Links to your site are the most favorable way to increase both your PageRank and SERP positions.  SEO is a complex promotional system, incorporating page design, site content, and links, among other things, to increase and maintain the reputation that a website offers valuable and worthwhile information.  Of all of these methods, it is the use of links which offers the greatest variety of approaches, and the highest ratings factors for spiders that crawl the web.

Links come in three basic types, those that are bought, recirprocal links, and one way links.  Paid links are not encouraged or appreciated by search engines, and could have adverse results on your standings in the respective industry search engines.  Reciprocal links are favorable, but also display a certain amount of behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing; this is not usually unfavorable, but such links are also a large part of link farming and other schemes that misuse links to help promote sites, often out of context to the content being provided by either the site being linked back to, or the host site.  One way links, however indicate a certain confidence in your website, since another site thinks enough of it to drive traffic to you.  Conversely, one way links are also a product of many methods of paid/rented link strategies, so where the links come from is an important factor.

Basically, you want as many voluntary one way links to your website as you can get.  But “voluntary” is the key, since paying to have links to your site is tantamount to baseball players using steroids..you might get away with it for a while, but when you get busted, you’re out of the game.  Voluntary links, though, are the ones where someone has thought enough of your site to include a link to it, usually emphasizing the nature or content that you provide.  Of all possible types of links, this is the most favored variety, and requires that you have high quality, relevant content which encourages others to spread the word.

You can generate one way links yourself, as well.  Participate in message forums which allow you to provide a link in your signature line (often called a tagline), or write quality articles that talk about the contents on your site, and publish them to article directories, blogs and anywhere else that allows the posting of informational articles.  This is probably the hardest work involved in website promotion, but it is also the one which is likely to provide you with the most favorable search engines results, as they will take note of the popularity and RELEVANCE your site holds for the niche it represents.  Be careful, in your postings and article writing, not to create spam, however, as this could result not only in a reduction in your rankings, but in being removed and.or blacklisted from the sites you post to.  Always be sure that your posts and articles are informative, insightful, and written with quality in mind.  To you, the article may be a way to advertise and draw in one way links, but to the readers and spiders which see them, they are bits of possibly useful information in a vast sea of questionable content.  Stand out from the crowd, and the crowd will be attracted to what your site offers.
