Linking for users
by Ranjana Jha
How often have you wondered if the link strategy that you are using is actually
working for your site?
You develop your site so that visitors come to your site and find what they are
looking for. Your aim in creating the site is to provide the visitors what they
really want so that they end up doing what you want i.e. buy our products,
subscribe to newsletters, fill a form etc.
But are you truly catering to their needs?
For instance if you are giving your visitors details about your
products/services and explaining to them the advantages of using the products
and services that you offer, it would be really a bonus if you could refer them
to a few sites that would help them get more information.
While selecting these links, be careful not to link to sites that are your
competitors. links should be of related or allied products/services. They should
work as a reference.
Here are a few pointers for selecting links -
1) Search for products/services that are related to your site. For example, if
you are a manufacturer of furnitures made out of teak wood, you could perhaps
link to sites providing information on teak wood.
2) In continuation with the above example, search for sites that offer services
like carrying or transporting furniture (you could even get area specific if you
are catering to a specific area). You could search for paint companies
specializing in paints for wooden furniture.
3) Get some of your satisfied customers to mention a few lines about your
products and services in their sites in exchange of a link from your site.
These are a few examples. If you can follow this in your link building strategy,
it would really help your visitors and help you in return.
Keep adding links and make the site so useful that the visitors have no choice
but to bookmark it!
