Internet marketing is a cost effective marketing strategy of



the day for any business. One's business, however small it

may be, can be marketed and promoted via the Internet. The

prerequisite for successful conduction of such business

promotion activity lies in having a website which is search

engine friendly and which draws sizeable web traffic which

converts to business and profits. This is the purpose of search

engine optimization of a website.

It may be noted that it is the quality of the traffic that matters

more than the quantity. So, getting links from the right community

is more important. These links serve as ducts and canalize the

appropriate kind of visitors to the site thereby enhancing its

business prospects.

One of the most important features of a search engine optimization

process is link popularity. This is the "off page" optimization

factor. Getting links from high-ranking websites of relevant category

is important. In this regard the one way links i.e. inbound links

from various sites to a particular site with few/no outbound links

from it are of immense value to the website. Such one-way links

apparently give a truer endorsement of one's site.

Going for reciprocal links with similar theme based websites have

been gaining popularity in recent years with webmasters working for

it. It can be emphasized that search engine optimization implies

getting links from the proper communities. The factors using which

search engines like Google, Yahoo, HotBot, AltaVista, MSN and others

gauge the popularity of sites are:

· Number of inbound links

· Text used for link description

· Inbound link text

Some effective steps to bring in links from sites to one's site and

achieve search engine optimization are:

· Joining trade organizations for the purpose.

· Get one's site listed in directories.

· Submit content-articles, FAQs, press releases etc. to sites accepting

them.

· Creation of a topical directory one level above one's category.

· Provide articles, content on relevant issues/topics and get them

syndicated.

· Engage in two-way reciprocal link exchange with related/similar sites

of quality.
