Link building is one example of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) technique. some said that the more links a website had (an inbound link), it will make search engines like google, yahoo, and bing to index your website better. Popular techniques used for link building is making links which is a mutual link between two websites to make mutual traffic. this technique called two-way linking. This technique, however, have been widely replaced by the use of one-way linking.

Some said that this type of link would be looked more natural by the search engines. One-way linking are also called Incoming Links or Inbound Links.
Now as the internet has just getting bigger, some other techniques of linking has been used by the webmasters around the world. just like link bait.

Searching for Free Articles
Dec 9th
Some webmaster use articles from free directories to make website. This is important to they who just started working in this kind of thing and they who do not yet have any funds to recruit writers.
Even this is sometimes the only options for those who doesn’t have budget yet, it is not a way to build your website effectively. There are few reasons why I said like that.
1. Getting Visitors to Click
If you think that getting high ranks in search engines ranking is hard work, this is only the half of the big work. You must also make your visitor convinced to clicks on your advertisements. If your articles seems to be like the other site, they will least likely to click on your advertisements.
If you just copy articles from other website, you will be seems like someone who does not know what are they writing and you will never convince your readers.
2. Author Bylines
Most free articles given to you only if you put the writer’s name under the article. This makes problem because bylines must contains links. when your visitor done with your article and wanted to read more articles from the same author, they will clicks on the Author name and navigate away from your site.
3. Search Engines
Search engine will look down to your site if they found you duplicating contents from the other sites. Means that the more unique your article is, the more rank you will get from the search engines. And you can use Search Engine Optimization technique to increase your rank.
You may look your revenue coming from your site, but only in a small amount. Once you get enough amount for recruiting a writer, do it. you need original content to help your site rank up. Or you can do it by yourself. write your own articles about what you are interested at. It may be hard in the beginning, but later it will be fun!
Importance of Keywords
Dec 7th
Keyword is an important part of optimizing your articles for search engines, or Search Engine Optimization. Search engine bots or spiders scan a web page and they recognize a page by it keywords. So if you put your keyword correctly, your article will show up when someone search for that keyword in the search engines.
A keyword is a word or a phrase that is placed in your articles several times, not just once, because that would make every word as a keyword. So if search engine spiders sees that you have some words placed several time in a webpage, it will recognize that word as a keyword and will determine your web page will be useful to users that searching for that word.
But dont over do it. If you over optimizing your articles with particular words, it known as “keyword stuffing”. When you do that spider will detect that your article is a tricky article which want to be placed high in the search engine results for that keyword, and the spider will penalize your page. It event may affect your overall pages ranking, and would be blacklisted from a particular search engine if you do keyword stuffing to many times.
Most people use a percentage to determine how many time they will have the keyword in their articles. For example if you have a 400 words article and want to make it 5%, then you can write your keyword 20 times. you can choose how often you use your keyword, because each webmaster has their own style, and based on past results.as long as you dont over optimized and you make enough profit for your ranking, then you can choose how often your keyword will be.
Having the right keyword percentation will make money from your article because it will rise in the search engine results and you will get many readers from it.
Learning SEO
Dec 6th
You need to learn search engine optimization techniques when you are writing articles for your website. If you are hiring a writer to write articles for your website, keep in mind that you should hire a good writer who know about search engine optimization or you can give them list that contains your keywords and let them make articles that contains that keywords, and tell them how many times they should repeat the keyword through the article.
Making optimized article for your website will help your website’s ranks get higher when someone searches a keyword that is related to your subject. That means you will actually get more visitors because your url seen by many people. It is a fact that almost web surfers just see the first 3 pages when they are searching for a keyword. That means when your site is ranked in the fourth page, that means less traffic. (it will be traffic, but only a very small traffic). This is why it is very important to you and your writer to use search engine optimization when you write articles, and make sure your articles can be seen by anyone in the first page of the search engine.
