Why You Need Backlinks

Hi

Why You Need Backlinks

When we think of Internet marketing, the word "backlink"
doesn't automatically come to mind. In fact, most
people who aren't involved with a website would not
even know what a backlink means. To put it simply,
a backlink is any URL link from another website that
will take web surfers directly to your website.


So, a backlink is like a business card
(in the form of an Internet address) that you gave to
someone who then refers other people back to you.
Using this metaphor, one can see that the more backlinks
you get the more business you get too.

However, that's not the sole reason why backlinks
are important in Internet marketing.

While a backlink is a type of referral, it also
can be a measure of your website's reputation.
This is why major search engines use backlinks in
their search algorithms. They catalogue the number
of backlinks and the strength of the people who are
backlinking to your site and use this in their algorithm
to determine how well you rank amongst other sites that
deal with your website niche.

Using backlinks you can raise the visibility of your
site by getting your site highly ranked in the search engine.
This, in turn, will lead to more people visiting your site
and thus more business.

10 Steps to Internet Marketing Success

10 Steps to Internet Marketing Success

1) ‘Find a Market’ - Find a market before you decide on a product. If you pick a product first then find out later there isn’t a market for it, you will have wasted a lot of time and money. So be sure to look for the market first. Also try to find an area that inspires or excites you. If you find your passion then it’ll be easier to stay motivated when building your business. Use Google to search different keywords. Try searching with Yahoo to see what else is selling. Check eBay for all their different categories. And use ClickBank to look for interesting markets. When you locate a market and find out what people want, all you’ll have to do is sell it to them. After your first internet project is up and running, and is profitable, then you may want to start looking for your next market. Remember it's very easy to jump from one project to the next before the first one is finished. So try to find a market or project that you really like and stay with it until its making money.
