Linking Primer

Most of the time when people make a link to a site, they either use a graphic and attach the linking information to it, or they make the web site name or business name the clickable link. While that works, it doesn't tell the search engines anything about the link. Search engines like it when the link itself tells them something relevant.

In the table above, our link tells the SEs that the link-to site is about unique online pet products. If the link-from site (you) is topically related (pet products) to the link-to site (us), then you have the best scenario, with both sites getting maximum benefit. When the sites aren't relevant to each other, the SEs don't attach much, if any, significance to the link. Viagra and vacuum cleaners are not topically related!

If the search engines don't think your site is very important to a particular subject and you're therefore burried on page 47 of a search, then few, if any, surfers will ever find your site and click on that cool graphic or non-descriptive text link.

SEs want to provide relevant information to those searching. If we don't provide them the information they need to determine this, then everybody loses. Other than your on-page factors-- relevant information, keywords and meta tags (though they're decreasing in importance), the biggest factor is the links to your site and what they say about the topic of your site. joesa1widgets.com doesn't tell the SEs anything-- it's like the adults talking in a Charley Brown cartoon, 'blah, blah, blah, blah."

So, while we appreciate any relevant link to us, a *descriptive text link* as we've provided above, is MOST appreciated! An additional graphic is cool too, but again, make the actual link (the part you click on) descriptive text!
