Link Popularity – Step by Step Guide to Attracting Inbound Links by Becoming an Authority

There is no better way to develop link popularity then by using step-by-step methods or guidance to attract inbound links than by becoming an authority within your niche. If you are using article writing as your primary means to attract links and subscribers this is easy to do. I personally submit 15 to 20 articles per day on several niche categories which in my market. Several of those categories I hold the number one authority position because I have submitted the most articles on that niche topic.

Once you have achieved this your readers and the market will see you as an expert in your niche or feel. If you are able to provide them with article content that solves a problem they are experiencing more than likely they will link to it from their blog or website, listed in a social bookmarking site or better yet send out a re-tweet through twitter. Each of these methods will attract a large amount of inbound links.

So how exactly do I do this? What are my methods to becoming an authority in each of my target niches?

Follow these steps:

1. Keyword research. Find out what words and phrases your niche audiences using when conducting searches on the top search engines like Google. By using the Google keyword tool you can easily find this information out. Strive to develop a list of 10 to 20 keywords and phrases in each of the categories you are targeting.

2. Article writing. By submitting keyword optimized articles to the top article directories online you can attract a large amount of inbound links and eventually link popularity. By looking at how many articles have been submitted by the top author within the categories you want to submit articles for you will know what topics to write on. Now the obvious takes over; writing more articles on that category than the top person. The easiest thing to do is find those categories within your niche with the lowest number of articles submitted. Focus your articles than around that topic and make sure that you are using the key words and phrases you developed in number one above when writing your titles and article content. Also make sure that you are writing about methods to solve a problem that your target market is experiencing. This is the information more than likely your readers will find it interesting and link to from their websites and blogs which will give you inbound links. Once you submitted enough of articles to claim the top spot in a category make sure you take advantage of that and list yourself as the number one author index category on whatever article directory it is. This will give you added the influence over your audience.

Link Popularity – Step by Step Guide to Attracting Inbound Links Through Google Site Maps, Part 1

Internet marketing today offers many methods to develop link popularity by using step-by-step guidance to attracting inbound links through using websites and tools such as Google Site Maps.

Having Google sitemaps set up for your websites can be very beneficial in getting more traffic from Google, because Google sitemaps help Google know about all your web pages and can, therefore, help all your web pages from all your sites get fully indexed in Google, which of course increases your chances of getting more Google traffic. It’s also a very useful tool for understanding better exactly what’s happening with your site regarding Google.

So, how exactly do you set up Google site maps for your website? I’m going to talk you through a detailed example here.

Follow these steps:

1. First of all, go to the Google Sietmaps website. And you need a Google account, a free Google account to use the sitemaps functionality. If you don’t have an existing account, you can easily set one up.

2. Log into Google Sitemaps with your own Google account.

3. So let’s start with adding sites. All you have to do is click on the add a site icon in the middle of the page to add your website address.

4. Next, you need to verify ownership of the site to make sure that this site genuinely belongs to you. So what you need to do is after the website address appears on the page is click on “try our new meta tag verification method.”

5. Okay, as you will more than likely see, the current verification status is NOT VERIFIED. So scroll down…and there are two ways you can verify your site: using the meta tag method, or upload a specific HTML file.

6. Using the meta tag method in this instance. If you have any problems with this there are full instructions on the page. Essentially, take the line of HTML code and add it in the head section of your website’s index page.

7. Selected it, right click and copy, and though to your ftp software. And on the right side will be listed your website, that is the site you are adding to Google Sitemaps. And what you want to look for is the index page. In most cases it will be listed as index.html. Download that, and open this, the index page, in Notepad so you can make the change.

8. Open up Notepad and there’s the index page on the desktop, so drag the HTML code and paste it into the head section, as Google instructed. So edit…paste. And there it is.

9. Scroll back and there’s the meta tag specifically for verifying this page.

Google will give higher link popularity to websites that have site maps. The more popular your website is on Google, which is the top search engine most people use, you will stand a better chance of having your site come up higher on search results that your target market is conducted. The higher your site becomes on the results you also stand a better chance of having people link to your site which will attract more inbound links for you.
