Nov 18th, 2011 Chris Ellington

Relevant backlinks are a necessity to the success of any website. Just any old link back to your website doesn't cut it anymore. Link sharing websites used to be effective because they simply produced massive links back to other websites.

Owners of the most popular search engines quickly realized that effective link building had to revolve around relevant links. Link relevancy had to be the basis by which link popularity was judged. Otherwise the relevancy of their rankings would be worthless.

Your website's search engine results position (SERP) is reliant on the types of marketing you choose. Link building campaigns often make use of relevant blogs, forums and article marketing. Maximize your site's SERP by using a combination of several methods.

How Backlinks Increase SERP

Search engines rank a site's SERP by analyzing the site in a variety of ways. One of those is the number of relevant backlinks to the site. For example, a link from a relevant website will be more effective at raising your SERP than a site that contains content not relevant to yours.

Competing webmasters don't often want to link to their competition. Creating relevant links back to your website can be done in a variety of ways. The most successful is through article marketing.

Relevancy is the key to creating higher SERP through inbound links to your website. Search engines scan the text on each website to validate the relevancy of backlinks to websites. The more relevant backlinks a site has the higher page rank it will achieve.

Write your articles to be informative or educational with a primary focus on key topics on your website. Distribute your articles to several article directories and include links to your website. Over time your efforts will pay off, dramatically increasing your SERP and traffic to your site.

Inform your readers about special promotions as well as products or services you provide. Well-written articles should offer potential visitors information about what your site has to offer. More information increases chance that someone will click the link from your author resource box.

Your published articles continue to work for you long after they're distributed. Article directories often allow readers to use your content on their own websites as long as they maintain the link back to your site. Article marketing allows you to create guaranteed relevant backlinks.

Thousands of article directories allow you to publish articles for little to no cost. Free article directories are a great way to create relevant one way links back to your website. You control the frequency of which your articles are distributed and new links are created.

Article distribution services charge a minimal amount to distribute your articles to tens of thousands of article directories. Several of their publishers are not available through any other means. They help guarantee never ending distribution of your articles and backlinks.

Several pieces of software are readily available to help with the article distribution process. Few of these programs are free but a well designed program is well worth the cost and effort. The creation of relevant backlinks and increase in SERP will increase your traffic and sales.

Initial setup and account creation to several article directories is a necessary evil. Without the accounts, your software cannot submit your articles. Take some time to create accounts with several article directories.
