Here it is, thanks to the Link Building Ninja Team : Link Building For Beginners Guide

This is a question that I see so many times in forums that it seems that there must be somebody somewhere trying to scare people by this.  In reality this is more of an old wives tale.  The speed at which you build inbound links to a website can help or hurt your rankings only in the matter of how well you are rewarded.  There are no negative effects of building links to fast, you simply will not receive the positive benefit of building links slowly or consistently.

The rate that new links are added to a website are not near as important as the consistency. If Google sees one link a day being added every day and then all of a sudden there are 500 new links in one day, they are not going to yank your site from their search results, but they will not count these links as valid back links to your site either. Google is looking for natural and organic links to your site, so if you keep this in mind when you build links you will see how Google takes note and your site will be rewarded accurately.

So the answer to the question is no you will not be banned from Google if you add a gazillion links in one day, but it can be much more beneficial to go slow and sure instead. Hopefully this puts the rumor about building links to fast to rest once and for all. Another reason that Google simply cannot give a negative effect for quick link building is that any competitor of yours could use this as a tactic to bring your site down.  Google does try to make it hard for others who are trying to hurt your site, to be able to do anything that can really effect your rankings through time and this is just one of their default failsafe features in place.

Are you sharing the link love?  Many seo guys out there think that having no external links to competitor sites is the way to go….and no you are wrong, very wrong. You have to have outgoing links on your site or Google will know that something is not quite right about your website.  Linking to other sites that have similar content and that are in the same market or niche that you are in is a basic yet still very integral part of building your web sites popularity and authority in the search engines.

You don’t have to link to competition but many times, you competitors are the best places to link out to. You can simply put links to these sites in an “out of the way” location on your site or get setup as an affiliate with them and if you lose a customer the the link, you still get paid.  The point is, not matter what you website needs outbound links and these links must point to other relevant sites.  So pick and choose carefully. You can find the most beneficial sites to link to by doing a simple search on your set of keywords.  What sites show up?  These sites are the authority sites on your topic, so link them up.

Choosing the right sites to link out to is as important as choosing quality sites for inbound linking. So if you are one of those guys who is being stingy with your links, it may be time to show a little link love.  Google will of course reward your with some love of its own if you do this correctly and don’t go overboard with outbound links.  A handful of outbound links is plenty, there is no reason to list hundreds of links, any page with many links looses “weight” or value on a per link basis.  It is all about balance in the end.

Have fun getting your page to the top of the search engines results page and have fun sharing your link love!

So many webmasters today want to snap their fingers and have links magically start falling from the sky. Well, let me tell you, that is not how it works! Yes, you can use some lame software to throw links out all over the internet and you may notice some temporary rise in your search rankings or maybe even a little bit of real traffic. However, this is not what you want to be doing if you are trying to build a strong and lasting web presence for yourself.

Link Building Basics and How To Earn It!

Link building is a process and a passion for some, but don’t be fooled link building can, does and should require some hard work.  Doing research to find sites that will truly be beneficial is some of the most tedious, but important parts of a search engines optimization experts job.  Then working out link deals or even trying to find sites that allow you to put your own content on and in most cases writing concise search engine friendly copy is the next step.  Setting timelines for gradual link growth and pacing ones work is also of the utmost importance.  These are just the basics to really dig into what it takes to create a link building campaign that will prove to be successful.

The orchestration and implementation of all the skills needed to keep up with the constant changes in the SEO world can be very time consuming and is not an easy duty.  Anybody that has tried to build a site from the ground up and the get a massive amount of traffic to it, has definitely put in the hours and most likely some blood, sweat and tears too.  There are some alternatives to following this process that can be more efficient but may require you to brush up on your writing skills a little bit.

Creating Content That Earns You Links

This is what most site owners should be striving for.  You need to make content so damn good, that any other webmaster in the world would be proud to link to it. I am not talking about something that makes you say “oh, cool maybe I’ll share that on my site or twitter”   but something that makes you say “wholly #$@&*, where can I get a link to this up, so everybody will think I am cool for showing it to them!”  This is what you want, something that really hits home with its reader, something that strikes an emotion, something that is shocking!

The hardest link you will ever get is one that you earned.  So how do you really earn a link? Well what is the last piece of content you linked to that was not your own?  What make you want to link to it?  Did it help you? Most likely it was either something useful or something shocking, these are the two biggest link bait ideas out there and they do work.  To get these totally free juicy inbound links you may have to work for it.  You may have to study other successful articles, read more on how to write better and most of all learn how to keep your readers attention.  This is the behind the scenes work of real seo experts and can lead to more backlinks to your site than you know what to do with.

Natural External Links

Now that you, much like everyone else have made the realization that truly “content” is king, are you ready to take on the seo challenge and write one new article or post every single day of the week for your internet project?  If you are up to it and you start creating plenty of great content, the search engines will take notice and more importantly people will too.  You cannot get links  on many sites that would be glad to just give away a inbound link to you, that is if you write interesting and helpful articles.

In closing we ask, please, please,  what ever you do, Don’t Link To Us!  :-)

Google social search has received a lot hype in the media and many people thought that this was going to really alter the organic search results on Google.  This could not  be further from the truth. The new social search features on the Google search engine are going to pull data from Google profiles.  Whithin your Google profile you can specify which websites are your own and where you have profiles on other social sites.  From this information google will build a huge database of who knows who and this will be what is used for the basis of there social search while you are logged into your google account.

It is not quite as scary as many of us thought and for the most part will have little to do with SEO, nor will it change the way that web site optimization is performed.  Now, unless things change that is, we only have the facts provided in the video below for right now.  Many think that the way Google is gathering information is part of a bigger conspiracy, but we are going to take it for face value until we hear otherwise.

The video we found is created by Google so you know that the information is straight from the horses mouth on this one.

Leave any comments and questions you have about the google social search feature below and leave a link to your Google profile too if you want others to find you!

Looking forward to all the other new cool stuff from Google,
