This anchor link provides the search engines with all information needed to determine the links value by highlighting the keyword(s) you want to be positioned for.

How to get these valuable links?

There are many different ways that this can be achieved such as through blogs, social media, virtual correspondence (newsletters), online articles and any other form of content that has a anchor link embedded in it and subsequently submitted to another valuable website. This will require time and dedication to creating targeted, interesting and engaging content and then to submit it. This is where a link building company becomes quite valuable.

The whole purpose of using link building services is to firstly have each page of the website optimised for the best keyword(s), secondly it's to outsource the laborious task of systemically creating the links, which can often be in the 000's for the highly competitive terms. The closer to the top of the search results you are for your keywords the better the return on investment, but that depends on the keywords of course eg. ‘Fast loan' vs ‘free cat book' which keyphrase would you prefer to be ranked number one for? The phrases ‘fast loan' would be more profitable and thus more competitive. More visitors will result in more business if the keywords are right. It is that simple. But it's not...

You need to make sure that the page converts visitors into customers. But you need to get the visitors before you can focus on conversion. So focus on getting the links and traffic first then begin to start testing to maximize the conversion rates. Easy still, outsource the traffic and link building work and focus on getting the website perfect for when your visitors arrive.

Other link building methods, important to know, not to focus on

Reciprocal link building is a share system, where one web page displays the link to another website and vice versa. There is normally an agreement between the two website owners, where each page shares the other's link. This once had a lot of value, but that changed in 2003. Yet, reciprocal links still have their place, particularly if you cannot get a one-way link for a top website, it can sometimes be a way of getting the process started by offering a reciprocal link exchange.

A one-way link is a link from one website to another without any reciprocation. One-way link building can be considered more valuable than reciprocal, because there is no known reason for the link. This leaves the search engine guessing why there is a source for another link on a different site.

There are many advantages to link building. The process and strategy of an advertising campaign through quality link building services can be compared to the domino effect. A quality link building campaign will have your indexed frequently by the search engines, which will improve the ranking of your pages for competitive keywords. The higher the rank a website has in search engines, the more visitors it will attract.

SEO companies are springing up in mass numbers, as the need for a higher ranking and the effects of it can make or break a business. It is important to research a link building company, before the decision is made to invest as little as £200, and as much as up to £2000 (or more) into SEO and/or link building services. One sure sign that the link building company is reputable is through prior work. Obtain samples that are currently on the web, for the proof is undeniable. Be wary of a link building company that does not offer a phone number or a means to instant message. The means of communication will be vital if there is a problem or if a correction needs to be made. If a company does not communicate or respond instantly prior to the work, it may reflect the response time with the work.

There are many link building services, and it is important to find the one that is most suited for the needs of the business whether those needs are local, national or international. More isn't always better when it comes to a link building system; rather, higher is most important.

An entrepreneur would never consider opening a business without advertising or using word of mouth topromote the business. Starting an SEO campaign without using link building services is very similar to the prior example. The site may offer the perfect solution to a business need, yet may not be profitable if no one visits the site.

What is link building?

Before delving into the benefits of link building services, it is important to understand what link building services actually provider to the purchaser. Link building is creating ties to a website, like a popularity contest, it's about the number of votes, links, particularly one-way links you have compared to your competition, but more importantly, these votes or links must be coming from other valuable websites related to your topic and industry. Ultimately, a consistent approach to developing quality one-way links is going to plays a critical role in your websites ranking. Google changed the rules in a big way back in 2003 and made one-way theme links, those links that are wrapped in valuable and relevant content, the most important links in determining a websites ranking for a particular keyword.
If your link (web address) is on another website that is a leading authority website in your industry, then you must be doing something right and the search engines reward you for it but granting you attributing your link towards your ranking more = higher ranking. Each link delivers more traffic to your website, more visitors + good content = visitor into customer. It's important that you use an anchor link format which looks like this:
