Backlinks Help Your Website
Posted by admin in Link Building on June 6, 2018
Backlinks are hyperlinks back to your website from other websites.
You want your website to be ranked highly by search engines, so your site will be found on the first few search engine pages, and then visited.
How many other websites link to your website (how many backlinks you have) is one of the ways search engines evaluate the popularity of your website.
And backlinks from related websites (topics that are pertinent or similar to your website’s topic or could be connected to your website’s topic) are better than large numbers of links from unrelated sites.
-
- Example: if your site is Bob’s Tree Service, you would want backlinks from chainsaw vendors and nurseries more than a link from a roller skating arena, but it is better to exchange links with fellow business partners in your community than not.
Anchor text (the words the reader sees in the hyperlink) are important to your readers and search engines, too. Put descriptive words for readers to click on and search engines to follow. Make sure your readers see a connection from the anchor text words they clicked on to the page they reach (or they will think they were tricked and leave).

-
- Examples: Instead of a “Click Here” link, use anchor text like “Contact Jax SEO Works“
- “A Lint Free Vent for a professionally cleaned dryer vent“
- “Dan’s Floor Store of Ponte Vedra – quality flooring and tile work“
- “Key Theory develops very impressive websites“
- “Black Creek Services maintains and repairs small engine-powered outdoor equipment“
- or “Jennifer Fond, New York & Connecticut Esthetician, for professional Skin Care“.

A competitive business advantage.
Posted by admin in Digital Marketing on February 11, 2010
What makes your business stand out from others that offer the same type of product or provide the same service?
We agree with Duct Tape Marketing; you can find the competitive advantage your business has by periodically asking your customers questions like these:
1. What made you decide to hire us/buy from us?
2. What’s one thing we do better than others with whom you do business?
3. Is there something we could do to create a better experience for you?
4. Will you refer us to others, and if so, why?
5. What words would you type into a search engine like Google to find a business like ours?
While it’s always good to hear complimentary answers like “Your company provides superior service.”, you’ll need to ask your customers for specific responses to have the information you need.
Start finding out what your customers think about your business; put questions like this onto a form and ask a few of your customers each month. You can learn a lot from your customers.
Then you can focus your advertising on your competitive business advantage, and attract even more customers for what you do best!

Social Media Can Help Promote Your Local Small Business.
Posted by admin in Getting Started, Social Media for Business on January 16, 2010
Get the New Year off to a Great start by getting your business involved in Social Media Marketing.
Like Li Evans shared in an article on local small businesses and Social Media Marketing on Search Engine Watch, “Small businesses have some huge advantages in social media over the Walmarts of the world. . . have a much easier time personally connecting with their audience because, more likely than not, they know the majority of them personally.
Those personal connections make it much easier to build your communities in social media sites . . . . People readily become your fan, recommend you to other local friends, and tag and submit their own photos that help promote your local business.”
Find out more in Li’s YouTube video:
Getting your business involved in Social Media Marketing may seem new and intimidating. But it can be easier than you think. More social connections allow you to build a broad base of trust in you, your business, and your products or services. That base of trust can mean more customers for your business.
There is one thing that you DO NOT want to do with your business social media outreach. Don’t only share information with the intent to sell your product or service. Sell, Sell, Sell gets old. Better to “mix it up”. Share positive information of general interest to the local public (if you are a small, local business) from time to time.
