SEO #4: Off-page Optimization
Yesterday you should have read the third course out of 6
courses that will help you get a TOP rank in the search
engines and get EXPLOSIVE LASER TARGETED TRAFFIC for Free.
Today we move on to course #4 and study off-page
Optimization. Please read today's course very carefully and
take some time to test what I'm about to tell you on your
own webpage. Alright let’s start!
Off-page Optimization
Unfortunately optimizing your WebPages is not enough; the
search engines have developed a "system" where the ranking
of a website is determined by its "Link Popularity". This
system was first developed by Google and now many other
search engines like yahoo search and msn are doing the same.
So to get a top page ranking you must get as many websites
linking to you as possible. Before I tell you how to
increase your link popularity I have to tell you about the
other major factors in off-page optimization.
1) Anchor Text: This is the text that is hyperlinked to send
people to your website. Anchor text MUST contain a few of
your main keywords because google uses it to determine your
websites relevance to a particular topic.
2) The website that links to you: If the website that links
to you is related to your site then that’s a huge bonus to
you. So look for websites that are related to your website's
topic.
You now know that it's vital that you use an anchor text
that includes your main keywords. For example if you
remember from day2, the title that I chose was "Yo Mama Joke
| Blonde Joke Online". Now a good anchor text that can
include my main keywords would be that title! You also
should know that in order to get a good ranking you must
seek out websites that are closely related to your own
website and get them to link to you.
To get your website on "its feet" you can start by
submitting your website to popular directories. These
directories are free but you can always pay for a guaranteed
placement ($$). Now I have here some links that should be
more than enough to get you started.

This website has links to hundreds of Search engine friendly
free directories that you can add you link to. Beside each
directory you can see the PR, this is very useful.
http://www.dmoz.org/ (PR 9!) YOU MUST submit your site
to the Open Directory Project.
http://www.zeal.com (PR 8!) YOU MUST submit your site to
Zeal, by being in their directory you will be indexed by
LookSmart.
Now the next step is to look for link partners. I can't
stress this enough, you have to find partners with websites
related to your own website. What I have here are four
link-exchange directories that you can sign up to and start
exchanging links with people. These are great and will get
you hundreds of sites that may link to you. I suggest you
install a link directory script on your website and add all
the websites that you want to exchange links with. After
adding their link just send them an email and approach them
professionally. You can use an email like this:
