Get More Traffic By Utilising Keyword Links

by Gill Taylor

Keyword links will get traffic. Adobe currently beats 1.4 billion results to get to number one for what keyword phrase? click here, probably the most common keyword link in existence. And this simply happened because most websites that have an Adobe download link make it click here. Whether they get traffic with this search is debatable, but the point is made.

So what exactly is a keyword link? A keyword link is a focussed back link, a link that points to your site. But its a super back link. A keyword link not only gives your site a back link, but also tells the search engines that your site is the authority on that keyword phrase. In short Google loves keyword links. And you want Google to love you.

So are you using keyword links to get traffic to your site? You should, because its actually quite easy to use keyword links to your great advantage. Your forum signatures should have keyword back licks. And your article resource boxes should definitely have keyword links in them. Youre not doing any extra work, but youre getting much higher quality back links.

And its so easy to get the right keywords for your keyword links. The major search engines, including Google, have a keyword research tool that will show you how many searches were done on a whole family of a particular keyword or keyword phrase. Have a look at a specific keyword and its family and choose a brother or sister keyword that is typical of your site, but not to widely used.

Heres an example: you have a website that mentors people on how to get traffic to their sites. They best keyword link would be something like get traffic or instantly get traffic or get traffic here. So in your recourse box you would have: We teach big traffic secrets! Click here, get traffic now. In this case get traffic now would be your keyword link and not click here. Competing with Adobe on a silly phase like that really is futile.

When you start promoting a new website its best to stick to only a couple of keyword links. Work with then until you get traffic and authority status. If you spread out your efforts to thinly across the web it will only take longer to get traffic and search engine results. And its always better to get traffic now, rather then later.
