One of the primary methods of increasing your website both on the internet and in the search engines is through making your links popular. The search engine algorithms are changing constantly and with them, the onsite optimization factors also keep changing. However, in spite of the changed algorithms, the importance of link popularity remains the same and always gives a boost to your website ranking. Moreover, you can keep building links and increasing your link popularity for free. However, while building new links you must aim to remain as natural as possible. You must not make it evident to the search engines that you are building links.

Here are some quick tips on how to build a natural links profile.

• One of the basic aspects you need to take care of is the speed with which you are building links. Too much speed can alarm the search engines. Your website should not acquire thousands of links all of a sudden. However, if you are into viral marketing or big advertising campaigns, you may get links quickly and this will not make the search engines doubt you.

• Be careful about the placements of the links in your website. Links can be placed within the content, in the side bar or at the page bottom. Footer links are not considered to be very much appreciated. The placement of links is key and can significantly affect your link building process.

• Pay attention to the amount of traffic accessing the links. If your links are capable enough to provide good referrals, it will work wonders for you. The better visibility your website gets through these referrals, the more your search engine rankings get improved.

• Select your link exchange partners very carefully. Try and find websites which are reciprocal and has relevant content. Also, the site with which you are exchanging links should have link-backs.

• Build a healthy and long-lasting relationship with all your audience, customers, and other online partners. A good rapport will help you win their votes and as a return of your valuable service they will be glad to provide links to your website. This way, you can have links to your website in the most natural way!

• Participate in social networking and encourage people to exchange links. Use visible permalinks with call-to-action feature to bring people to the links.

• It is not always necessary to buy links for enhancing your link popularity. There are several other ways that can help in building natural links such as affiliations, donations, sponsorships, press, contributions, translations, etc.

• Think beyond the traditional ‘directories and link exchanges’ and use images and video with links in their embedded codes. Participate in blogs and discussion forums and post links for the user to find answers to their search queries.
