When getting links to your site you need to mix it up a bit. Most people get all their backlinks to point to their main page using a single anchor text link or keyphrase such as: internet marketing tips

So, all the backlinks you get that are pointing back to your site would use the anchor text “internet marketing tips”.

This is a BIG no no…

This is a common mistake most people make as they think that is what it takes to get their site to the top 10. There are a couple of things you MUST do if you want to get even better results and dominate the top 10 search results.

>> Tip #1: Don’t point all the backlinks you get to your homepage *only*. You need to *deep* link to your secondary pages as well.

For example, if your website contains the following
pages…

index.html
internet-marketing-tips.html
internet-marketing-videos.html
sales-conversions.html

… you must get backlinks to all of those pages.

>> Tip #2: You should not use the same keyphrase on all four of the pages above using only *one* keyphrase such as “internet marketing tips” mentioned above is another big mistake people make.

Let me give you a couple examples of how you should do this:

index.html
==> anchor text link: internet marketing, internet marketing strategies, internet marketing courses

internet-marketing-videos.html
==> anchor text link: internet marketing videoes, internet marketing video tips

… anyway, you get the idea. Don’t be afraid to mix it up, add different keyphrases to different pages of your site.

Deep linking is a method not to many people use and can make the difference between your website being in the top 10 within Google or top 100.

Just make sure that you *deep* link to as many pages on your website as possible useing a variety of keyphrases when
you get links.

Social media bookmarking and networking go hand in hand. Social bookmarking enables users to search, share and organize web pages of interest including yours! It’s a tool that enables you to inspire backlinks and devoted followers.

The first step is to register with the social bookmarking website of your choice. This permits you to store your bookmarks, create tags and decide what is made public or private. Some sites will even conduct periodic tests to make sure the links bookmarked are still active.

Once you’ve started using social bookmarking it’s important to alert everyone, or “ping” your site or blog. This permits search engines to be notified of updates, which is an important step in the success of any website or weblog. Traffic is the key.

Sending a “ping” or notification to any of the major directories finds its major use in the area of blogs. When it comes to web sites or social bookmarking pages, pinging means “getting attention”, or “bringing attention to” something. This gives the search engines a break, as they don’t have to search so hard for updates. The ping programs will make sure everything is in check, each and every time there is an update.

There are many programs you can use for social bookmarking. Listed below are a few of those more frequently used, though you will find many more out there by doing a simple web search.

* Digg.com is presently the most popular social news site. Getting something on the front page of Digg.com can potentially drive 20,000 to 100,000 visitors over a few of days, plus 100’s of unique links to your post.

* Del.icio.us.com is not only a social bookmarking website, but gives you access to links other people have tagged as favorites, providing insight to the content people are searching for, and how your site is positioned for this. Tagging allows greater flexibility – giving a post multiple tags increases your chances of being viewed.

* StumbleUpon.com is a unique social community using a toolbar to view pages that are voted into categories you subscribe to. Unlike the other sites, there is no need for popularity here. StumbleUpon.com uses a recommendation system based on your category preferences. Traffic from StumbleUpon.com depends on the category, and can range from 3,000 to 20,000 visitors a week.

With many other options available, a simple search should enable you to find the perfect match of social bookmarking site for your own experience, as well as categorical emphasis you require.
