Hi
This is a really silly question, some may think what the hell is she doing in im, but my main experience has been in adwords, which I have had enough of.
I am optimizing my website and am trying to look for links. I sell IPL hair removal equipment and all my competitors (there arent many) have no links, and obviously I wouldnt be able to link to them. would it be good enough if I linked to sites about how it worked or to clinic doing ipl treatments.
also the silly question is. to create links do I just have a link page in my site and create hyperlinks where people can go to these sites.
or is there another way your supposed to do it.
I dont want to create these links if its not going to benefit me.
thankyou

    Helen,

    The best technique with SEO is to have other sites linking to you, as opposed to you linking to other sites.

    Have a read of a few of the posts in this forum, as there is plenty of information here already available to you. If there's a more specific question you have, I'd be happy to answer it.

      hi steve
      thankyou for your quick reply, so providing links isnt going to benefit me? only if they link from my site, but why would anyone want to linkt me if Im selling machines? is there a better way to get round this?

        Providing links to related sites can benefit the site but what is more important is your site getting links for different quality sites.

          thankyou, my site contains lots of different equipment so I will most probably have about 10 different keywords not related to each other, obviously I cant include all of theses keywords in my home page, how do you rank top in google for lots of keywords?

    Not a problem Helen.

    The field you're enquiring about is known as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and it's quite large and not one I can explain all about here.

    In answer to your question as to how you would get other sites to link to you, I've written a tutorial aimed specially at newbies to SEO, which you may check out here - Backlinks For Beginners | How To Make Money Online - that will get you started on some of the very, very basics.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    - Steven

        Nice newb guide Steve H ...

        Helen, another way to get a good "start" in backlinking - which is a conerstone to your success in getting your pages seen in googles searches, is to look at Angela Edwards backlinking WSO.

        It will set you back a measly $5, and get you a quick "learn by doing / example" easy to follow guide on how to start building backlinks.

        From there you can get into some more advanced - easier and even automated tactics that will save you time.

        Depending on your level of computer adeptness - Fran Murray has some cool processes going that put automation scripts to work in both Robo Form and iMacros - that make the whole process of doing a wide range of backlinking task soooo much easier.

        Angela's WSO is a great start point - that actually will take you thru "doing"- not just a bunch of words on text.

        From there if you want to speed up the process cuts steps out andsave time and money etc ... Look for Fran's WSO.

        PM me if you need any further assistance

        All the best,

        Steve

          thankyou all, I am having trouble getting my head round this backlinking business.
          I sell ipl machines online and pay far too much for adwords, so I need to get my ad up high, but having gone through the process of looking for backlinks have come up with nothing. my competition who is top for my keyword has no backlinks but lots of content. I think I am going to need someone to help me here. Is there anyone that can help me get to the top in google for a fee. but no black hat. as have already been slapped by google for an ad. ( not this site )

    Helen, whilst on site content is important, if your competition doesn't have any backlinks then you mightn't need much on site content at all, and could outrank them easily with a few decent links.

    As 4morereferrals suggested, check out Angela's backlink package for only $5, and see if that alone boosts your ranking.

      Do you not have to have a backlink from a site very similar to your own?

    Relevance is very important for more competitive niches, but if you're quite certain that your competition doesn't have any incoming backlinks at all (I could double check this for you if you want to send me your site via PM) then even just a few non relevant, but high PR backlinks will set your site ranking higher.
