I have tried various methods of advertising and have found that the best way to relax people and have them more likely click your links is to have them merged into your content. Unlike banners, where visitors eyes just tend to turn away, the ads that seem part of the content get more clicks.

Note: The placement of your ad blocks is going to make the difference between getting one click or ten clicks, so I would suggest you go to Google Adsense and read what Google has to say about placing your ads.

If you are already getting targeted visitors to your sites then the next best thing you can do for your Adsense earning is to increase the number of visitors you are getting. More target traffic means more interested clickers.

Google Adwords Campaigns

Yes, successful marketers find Adwords a great way to focus on the keywords that draw the right traffic. It takes a little bit of a budget then agree to pay a specific amount per month so that you don’t exceed your budget.

Adwords does well on certain markets and doesn’t seem to do so well on other. It’s your job to use the Adwords keywords tool to narrow down the successful keywords. Best to run a campaign for a month and see which keywords are working and which aren’t.

Write Keyworded Articles

Article writing is a hugely popular way to get more targeted traffic to your web pages. You will have a backlink to your page for each article your write, plus it will attract readers and those readers that are happy with your content will most likely follow your link through to your site.

Then if you have compelling content you will get clicks on your Adsense adblocks.

If  your article makes readers happy they may even put that article on their site, which gives you another link back to your web page.

The more backlinks you get from your articles the more likely it is that your pagerank will increase and Google will start sending you more traffic.

Link exchange

I don’t do so much link exchanging any more as article marketing has done so well for me but I still do exchange links with people as long as I get a three way link. I just make sure I am not linking to the same site they are linking to me from. It just tends to look better to the search engines like Google.

When seeking links I always like to have at least 2 web sites that are related so that it’s easy to do three-way linking.

How to get free backlinks

So you have a new website and its all set up looking lovely and ready to make sales. You post a few links here and there to your new site, get your site listed with the search engines and you sit back and wait for the money to roll in…but there are no sales! Sound familiar? You are going to need to develop a large volume of targeted visitors on a daily basis and visitors to come in their thousands, so is there a way to achieve this for free?

Yes there is and it’s known as building free backlinks.

If your a newbie to SEO (search engine optimization) you may be pondering what a backlink is and why they are critical. Free backlinks have become so critical to getting your website on the first page of a search engine that they have become some of the main building blocks to a good SEO strategy.

Free backlinks are links on the internet that point to your website, they are commonly known as inbound links. The quantity of free backlinks to your website is an suggestion of the popularity or importance of that website. Free Backlinks are outstandingly essential for search engines because some, particularly Google will give more credit to websites that have a good number of quality backlinks and thus believe those sites more relevant for a precise search query and these sites will therefore get higher rankings in the results page.

When a search engine calculates the relevance of a website in relation to a keyword or search query they consider the number of quality inbound links that is has, so it’s important to concentrate intensely on the quality of backlinks to your website. A search engine will think about the content of your site to determine the quality of a link. When inbound links to your site point from other sites that have content appropriate to your site then these backlinks will be considered more relevant and are likely to impact your webpage ranking a great deal in a positive way.

Search engines require all websites to have a level playing field and they will look for natural links constructed slowly over a period of time. It can be fairly easy to influence links on a web page to try and attain a higher ranking. It’s possible to play around with the links on a site but it’s much tougher to sway a search engine with external backlinks from other websites. This is another reason why backlinks are so highly incorporated into a search engines algorithm, to foil the ‘cheaters’

Recently however a search engines criteria for quality backlinks has been made tougher due to dodgy webmasters trying to achieve backlinks by deceiving or sneaky tactics. Such practises include hidden links or mechanically generated webpages whose one and only object is to make available inbound links to websites. Such websites are referred to as link farms and are now disregarded by search engines and may even be banned entirely by search engines.

Of course another motivation for the pursuit of quality backlinks is to get people visiting your webpages. You can’t just make a website and expect people will find it without getting the word out there about your site and what it can offer visitors. Building quality, natural free backlinks is awfully important to Search Engine Optimization and so it should be very prominent on your priority list in your SEO strategies.
