Link Popularity Search To Increase Your Rankings

Today has been a busy bee day. I’ve already worked through a large directory list submitting my web site to approximately 100 directories on the net. Of course, I judged each before submitting for content relation to my own web site and the sites’ Google Page Rank of importance.

This is an older and time honored technique of quickly developing a link system between your web site and others. It also helps eliminate irrelevant reciprocal link exchanges between your site and others. Finding closely related content to link and be linked from has never been easier than this technique. I wanted to quickly show you how so after reading this blog and taking notes get started!

First, go to Google and type in one of the following. It’s pretty self explanatory.

1. intitle: add+url “keyword phrase”

2. intitle: submit+url “keyword phrase”

3. intitle: add+site “keyword phrase”

4. intitle: submit+site “keyword phrase”

5. intitle: add+your+site “keyword phrase”

Simply put, when you go to Google and type in one of the preceeding examples Google will return results of relevant matches. These matches are the web sites most likely to be 1) Related to the content of your web site 2) Allow you to submit or exchange links with that site 3) Boot your search engine ranking when you get your link on their site.

So what do you do after you get these results from Google by using the methods above? Open up an Excel Worksheet and keep track of where you find the best chances for submission. Document them and then go back to those directories in a month or two and see if your listed yet. Keeping a careful eye on your submissions is necessary for your web site’s optimization.
