Do you think you can succeed in your Legitimate Home Internet Business without ever learning SEO specifically link building?

You probably know by now that one of the most effective ways to improve your site’s ranking is by building and increasing quality backlinks into your work at home business site. Many people still struggle with this process, especially if you are a new internet marketer. Even for the more experienced marketer new to SEO, it can be quite a daunting task learning the complexities of what sites you should be targeting and grappling with things like if too many outbound links can hurt you and your legitimate home internet business. They may also have not fully understood that both authority and relevance go hand in hand in good search engine optimization too.

Many SEO consultants firmly believed that backlinks account for about 80% of a page’s placement in the search engines, with the other 20% coming from your website format and other onsite optimization work. So clearly, if you want a particular page to get higher traffic when people type any of your internet home business keywords into Google and other search engines, you really need backlinks, lots of them.

Today we are faced with so many link opportunities it can be quite daunting, and it always raises the question: “Where do I begin?”. But what links matter, and what links don’t?. How does one find a “good” link from such a massive number of potential link sources to search from?. I figured it will be too much to discuss every aspect of these link sources in one post, so I will focus only on Authority Sites in this post.

What’s An Authority Site

Essentially, an authority site is one that has a large number of inbound links from other well-linked sites. These sites have been in business for some time and usually have high page ranks accorded to them. The quality of its inbound link structure determines its authority and upon linking to other sites, passes on its votes and popularity as well to them. Simply put, obtaining links from authority sites is vitally important to you if you wish to improve your search engine ranking. Linking to an authority site also helps you maintain and improve your general online creditability.

Technorati

When looking for authority sites, Technorati comes up a top favorite for me. Due to its massive traffic and established reputation it has, Technorati offers you the most updated and most relevant results in its search functions. You can use its advanced option, type in your work at home business keywords in the ‘Blog Directory Search’ box and just put ‘high authority’ as sort option. This gives you quite an awesome list of blogs with very high authority and other information like the number of inbound links to each of the related tags. You can then select the relevant sites which have the most inbound links to include in your link building work.

Wikipedia

Since 2001 when it first existed, Wikipedia has been getting lots of attention and because of its high rankings, it may benefit your link building journey to search here for authority links. Check out the External Links list found at the bottom of most pages for the list of sites they recommend.

.edu and .gov Websites

With only a little effort required I’ve found an easy way to search these sites by using Google search which shows you the blogs you are looking for:

Search for .edu domains with a blog relative to your website’s keywords:

site:.edu inurl:blog “your keyword(s)”

Search for .gov domains with a blog relative to your website keywords:

site:.gov inurl:blog “your keyword(s)”

Enter your relative keywords where the phrase keyword “your keyword(s)” appears and you will get numerous blogs listed with those .edu extensions. Similarly, if you substitute .gov for the .edu and you will find the sites with .gov extensions.

Still Not Convinced About .edu and .gov Are Quality Links?

The pyramid on this page shows one simple method you can visualize and think about link building as steps from easiest and lowest cost, to the most difficult and highest cost.

Start focusing on the authority sites first remembering the premise that getting 100 high quality links is far better than getting 1000 weaker links. As the pyramid shows, the bulk of links the average marketer gets come from link sources which are of less value but easier to obtain.
