Link Building in On Page Optimization

Link Building term is used to place links on your page. These links can be of within website or can take the visitor to other sites. We will discuss about the inbound links or within site links. This is called On Page Optimization.

Internal link building helps search engines to classify your web pages. 
If you want to bring attention of crawler towards the main page or any specific page of your website you can use that page's keyword in other pages and mark that keyword as a link towards your desired page. This way crawler will get impact of importance of that specific page. Or in other way of understanding you chose a keyword relevant to your page that searchers use on search engines, make sure that most of the pages in your site must contain that specific keyword.

Furthermore your site should be linked with other similar websites to draw attention and better ranking in search engines through crawler. This is called inbound link building. For example if site X is similar to site Y and site X link is placed on site Y, crawler will give importance to site X due to its popularity. But keep in mind that Not all Links are equal because if a health assistance site is getting links from a machinery products site, search engine will possible not count it but if that site is getting links from medical, hospital or doctors sites this will put it in better ranking.

Putting link on your site is as simple as
<a href="www.google.com">Popular Search Engine</a>
The URL is link address and text is anchor text 

Also make note that targeted keyword in anchor text should not be included in all your page, please vary a little.

Now how to get inbound links. Inbound links are essential to search engine optimization. Without inbound links you have no chances on Google, which dominates search engine world with ~65% market share.
Ways to get inbound links:
  • Submit your website to online directories.
  • Submit to paid directories like Yahoo Directory and Business.com
  • Join local business chamber and get a link from it. Google trusts .gov links
  • If you know professors, try to get a link from university domains. Google trusts .edu links
  • Get in touch with your business partners and request a link from their website
  • Buy links from other websites. Google considers this "black hat" and may ban your website. Careful link buying still works.
  • Create quality content and email it to websites in your industry. If they like it, they will link to you voluntarily.
  • Exchange links with webmasters. Not as useful as it used to be.
  • Rent links from links brokers. Do a search if you're interested.
Links should never be broken or should not be ambigous like

Avoid using such links. The link must be relevant to the content, title and direction of your page.
