Is Manual Link Building For You - It May Be

By Robert Smith


There are plenty of different SEO (search engine optimization) methods out there. Each one of them have their own pros and cons, and manual link building is not an exception. In it's simplest terms, this is nothing less than finding the sites you want to back-link to yours, then adding them to that site (if it's set up to take such submissions) or contacting the site owner at once and asking them to add your link.

A lot of people are sure that contracting a back link service to do all of the boring work is the most effective way of getting backlinks. Then there are people who believe doing their own manual link building is the better SEO methodology. The reality is that manual link building does have some advantages. Because you are , unarguably, doing the work yourself, it is fundamentally free unless you chance to purchase software to help find the neatest sites to make a link to, but this often isn't mandatory. The other advantage is that as you have absolute control over which sites are linking back to you, it could be a impressive strategy. It is also a nice choice for site controllers that only need backlinks from sites in their geographic area.

It's reasonable to say that it's not a smart move for small businesses to invest months and years to slowly put up a web presence through social networking and article publishing; waiting for enough of this happy to be linked enough to see a lift in the search site rankings. This applies even more so to bricks and mortar firms that do not have a strong must do business online, but still need an online presence. That doesn't mean they should not try getting links this way, but that they have to do more because time is always vital.

A good place for local businesses to start are local internet business directories. Request that your internet site be added to the directory, but beware that many of these directories will require payment to be listed with them. But if there are levels of listings, and your business hasn't got a lot of local competition, then you ought to be safe going with the most elementary listing. But also remember to go with the larger paid directories such as Business.com, Yahoo and BOTW. The reason it's very important to cover all your bases is that Google is keen on the bigger sites and it will increase the outcome of you manual link building efforts.

What about automated link submission tools? Well, they actually can be employed effectively, but they aren't perfect. They can fill in submission forms mechanically, but not all sites use the same input fields. And when there are unique fields the automated software does not recognise, it either won't submit correctly, or else you will still need to do some of it by hand. The main benefit is that when it works right, it is quicker than manual link building.
