Search engine optimization has become a critical part of any website's success when it comes to driving traffic. If you're not doing any kind of SEO on your site then you're losing a huge opportunity to get laser targeted visitors for free. Generating backlinks to your site is a time tested method to increase your ranking in the search engines. You don't want to simply collect links, for they will only help your site if they are targeted and of high quality. Sometimes website owners, especially newbies, are tempted to buy lots of poor quality backlinks at a low price and think they will succeed this way. This tactic is no longer effective. If you want the search engines to rank your site highly, you have to get targeted backlinks in an honest way. If you want to get the most value from your backlinks, apply the following strategies we'll be outlining below.

Back Link SEO

The most important thing that you need to remember when building backlinks is to ensure your link appears in an anchor text containing your primary keywords. Therefore, if your website is on the topic of weight loss, the anchor text for your link should say something like "how to lose weight," or whatever key phrase you're targeting. This is a very simple SEO strategy, but it's often overlooked. If you make the proper use of anchor text, you will have an advantage over your competitors who simply use their website address in their links.

Make sure that you use several different versions of your anchor text, targeting various keywords. In order to provide better search results, Google uses LSI (Lateral Semantic Indexing), which means it prefers sites that target a variety of similar keywords. Linking to only a single keyword all the time lowers your standing with the search engines, so you should target several. To find a variety of keywords for your anchor text, use a keyword tool or a thesaurus. When you do this, Google will see your links as good quality and will rank your site better.

You also want to ensure that your links originate from different Class-C IP addresses. If you have three hundred links coming in from the same IP address, the effects won't be noticeable which is why you need to diversify your portfolio.  An IP checking program will help you find out where all your links are coming from.

In conclusion, this article shows how important getting ethical backlinks can be. When you become knowledgeable about setting up SEO links, the search engines will not ignore them. Don't go too fast when you build backlinks because you want them to be natural. If you want your site to stand out of the crowd and actually pull in targeted search engine traffic that converts then keep the above tips in mind.

Distribution of Clicks on Google’s SERPs

What is the distribution of clicks on a search engine results page? What percentage of clicks gets each search result according to its rank? How much more users attention gets the first listing compared to the second? Or how often do users click the listing below the page fold? The way users interact with SERPs is one of the most frequently discussed topics in the SEO community and is also a very important field of study for the search engine specialists. To answer the above questions researchers employ the so-called eye tracking experiments.

Google Eye Tracking Studies

Eye-Tracking Studies

The objective of eye tracking studies is gaining insight into how users browse the presented abstracts and select links to click. The results of eye tracking research provide Internet marketers with information on clickthrough rates, thus allowing them to make correct predictions on traffic changes as their rankings are gained or lost. For SE engineers the results provide a basis for improving the interfaces of search engines and metrics to evaluate the relevancy of the presented search results.

To detect users interaction patterns the eye tracking experiment observes a number of indicators of ocular behavior using a CCD (charged couple device) camera similar to the appliance used to read bar codes. The indices of ocular behavior include eye fixations, saccades, scan paths and pupil dilation. Eye fixations are defined as a stable gaze lasting for 200-300 milliseconds representing visual attention to a specific area of a SERP. Pupil dilations or pupil diameter changes represent a measurement of interest in a particular listing. This variable is especially important as it helps interpreting an implicit user feedback to the relevancy of the presented search results.  complete story
