Call me mad (I am not) but I am offering people who are struggling with their web sites and getting visitor traffic free help and guidance, here is my justification.

Although inspired at the time I have bad memories of developing and setting up my first web site back in 2000. Everyone who takes on the challenge of designing a web site should get a helping hand. Implementing your first web site can be quite scary if you are unsure about what to do.

Subjects like understanding the significance of back links and keywords, how they affect Google page rankings and page authority, and the relationships between these and visitor volumes are difficult to grasp and often poorly taught by significant numbers of self proclaimed guru’s on the web. I constantly meeting people who want to create a business or set up a site on the net so I have set out to do something about it.

I am lucky enough to have spent a significant amount of time finding, rounding up, assessing, getting to know and mastering the immense quantities of different strategies and tactics for establishing a presence on the web, attracting people to my web sites and continuosly refining my approach. I have decided to start teaching.

I have been getting ready this for about a year now and whenever I have had some free time I have been building my educational content. Everybody I have met who is starting out or already creating a presence on the web wants fast results, I’m no different and therefore whenever I have found high quality material and tools that work I am going to point my students at these rather than try and reinvent the wheel.

Everything I have tried and tested that has produced good or excellent results will be included in my training material and where there are gaps I have filled them in. Obviously along the way I have created some techniques, tools and methods of my own that I constantly use which I will be including in the education.

The key objective of any web site should be to attract visitors and before you build your web site you should have an understanding of how you are going to attract visitors. Whether your website is commercial or not then sooner or later you are going to want to attract visitors. You need a significant proportion of your traffic to come from the search engines. The best type of visitor traffic comes from search engines as it’s free and it’s targeted.

Search engines make their living from delivering relevant and useful results to their users. The delivery of relevant and accurate results to searchers is the key objective for search engines and is a major factor is maintaining and increasing user loyalty. The more frequently users return to the search engine the more opportunity and income the search engines create. The objectives for you and your web pages is precisely the same as the search engines.Persuade users to come back to your web pages over and over again.

So how do you go about doing this?. There are two methods that you can use. You can submit high quality content to the web or you can use advertising often called Pay Per Click (PPC) or in the case of Google ‘adwords’.

Search engines have a simple philosophy that nothing exists on the web without a keyword or a key phrase . The user typing a keyword or phrase into the search engine starts the search process. The search engine goes and looks in its vast index of web pages and selects the most relevant web pages and then returns them in a list that is ordered in terms of relevance and authority. Search engines decide what web pages are returned by using two prime factors – authority and relevance.

Authority is a function of the back links to a web page and relevance is largely down to on page factors such as the number of times a keyword appears on the web page. The profile in terms of authority and the volume of back links are used by the search engines in deciding the position or ranking of a web page in the list of search results.

Back links are the sledge hammers of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

Back links have two major functions – routing traffic to your web pages and helping the search engines determine the ranking of your web pages in the results returned by a user search. Users will follow links they find in content if the back link is labelled with relevant text. This text in the back link is known as ‘anchor text’ and this too is taken into consideration by the search engines. Some back links have more value than others.

The authority on the page from which a back links originates can influence the potency of the link to your web page.Web pages with more authority pass more authority onto your pages .

Also called “incoming links”, “backlinks” are links on another blog that go right back to your own blog or blog posts.  For instance, if a blogger decides to put up a link to your blog on his blog or website, that link that directs people to your site is what a backlink is.  These little bits of HTML code are actually a driving force in the success of many blogs, and if you’ve decided to make money blogging, you’ll have to try getting as many backlinks as you can.

Of course, backlinks aren’t just some little detail that bloggers can forget about.  In fact, they’re responsible for your success as a blogger, and have a direct effect on your blog’s ranking on major search engines.  The more backlinks your blog has, the higher its rank will be on Google and other search engines.  If you have more backlinks for a keyword that other blogs are already targeting, your ranking on search engines will be much higher, therefore making you more accessible to the online community.

Backlinks must contain the keyword your blog post is targeting to have any impact on your rankings for that keyword. This is called “anchor text” and the rest of this article will talk about getting backlinks containing your anchor text back to your specific blog post.

1.  Comment on other blogs:
The best way to introduce yourself to other bloggers is by posting comments on their entries.  Of course, you shouldn’t just post any comment for the sake of putting up one.  Instead, leave a thoughtful comment that’s relevant to the post in question, and don’t forget to include your URL at the bottom of your comment.  If you want to take things a step further, use your targeted keyword as your username, which will also be linked back to your own blog.

2.  Hop onto forum boards:
Another way to collect more backlinks is by joining a forum board where you can socialize with other like-minded people about subjects that your blog is already dealing with.  Be active in these forum boards, and make informative and helpful contributions on various topics that might arise in these boards.  Be as polite and friendly as you can, leave your URL at your signature, and you’ll have people clicking over to your blog before you know it.

3.  Link baiting:
Take advantage of hot news about your niche and put up an entire blog post dedicated to that issue.  Link baiting essentially means that you’re dangling out a blog post that’s bound to reel in a lot of backlinks, mostly because your post talks about something that people are very interested in.  Although backlinks aren’t guaranteed, you jack up your chances at getting linked at if your post is unique or offers a new perspective on the issue.  Remember to put up your keywords as the post’s title!  That way, webmasters can easily copy that and put it up as an anchor text when they link to your post.

Backlinks comprise a major part in a blogger’s success, and once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll find that it isn’t very hard to boost your backlink count.  Remember, however, that the quality of your blog posts is still your winning ticket to blogging success.  Work on your blog and its reputation, and you’ll later realize that you won’t have to go and look for backlinks – people will just happily link to you without your knowing it.
