Google: External SEO optimization ??3 proven methods!

It's simple! Link mass

Link mass is all active links to your resource located on the Internet, with the exception of those contained on your website (links, etc.).

Buying link mass is a popular way to promote a website in search engines. It works on the principle: the more sites that have links to your resource, the higher its ranking in search results. However, there are nuances. Let's look at them in the next section.

What is off-page optimization, and under what conditions will it work?

In a world where marketing is based on data, and tools allow you to track even small user actions, the issue of choosing an effective marketing strategy remains relevant. Even though SEO is an important tool for promoting an online business, it still remains a mystery to many marketers. Search engine algorithms are updated, and methods that were effective a few years ago may be outdated today.

If you notice that your model is not delivering results (for example, experiencing a drop in traffic, an increase in bounce rate, and a decrease in time spent on page), you should look at off-page SEO optimization. However, before doing this, it is important to make sure that on-page SEO optimization is done correctly. How can I check this?

  • Check the uniqueness and interestingness of the content on the site.
  • Make sure the home page and navigation are user-friendly.
  • Check your keyword usage.
  • Evaluate the performance of linking on the site.

If internal SEO optimization is done well, you can move on to external SEO.

Number of external links

Having external links signals to Google that your site is trusted by users, which in turn increases its ranking. The number of inbound links shows search engines how valuable other sites consider your site. However, it is important to maintain a balance - there should be enough, but not too much. New sites that start buying links in large volumes at once risk being sanctioned.

For new sites, it is optimal to start with 3-5 links in the first month. In the future, increase the number of links by 5-10 links per month during the first 6 months of promotion.

Google expects sites to be linked to relevant and informative resources. Often these links appear due to various activities, including:

  • Expanding coverage.
  • Registering a site in databases.
  • Posting links on forums.
  • Mutual advertising.
  • Sponsorship of events.
  • Blog comments.
  • Press releases.
  • Frequency of mentions on social networks.

However, the frequency of mentions of your site is not the only factor in off-page optimization. The other two are quality and type of links.

Quality of external links

To measure the effect of external links, the DA (Domain Authority) indicator is used. This indicator reflects the authority of the site to which the link is placed. The higher the DA, the more important the link will be to the search engine. Links from sites with a higher DA than yours carry more weight than links from less authoritative sites.

Types of links

The type of link also affects its effectiveness. Links placed in the text context of the page are valued higher than those in the sidebar.

The text of the hyperlink also matters. Search engines prefer natural and simple wording, as opposed to complex and artificially created phrases.

Additionally, it is important where the link leads. A link to the home page is more important than a link to an internal page.

What other formats of external website optimization exist?

  • Crowd marketing (or hidden advertising). It is a source of links and a way to optimize targeted traffic. Links cost approximately 60-70 rubles apiece and can provide several clicks per month. However, crowd links will not yield results if the site content and its technical component leave much to be desired.
  • Cross-links. This type of link is not suitable for all sites, and their use has its own characteristics.
  • Relevant links. When purchasing such links, you must carefully select the pages to place your links on, paying attention to the pages included in the top 10.

Conclusion

External links, like keywords, play an important role in any SEO strategy. Off-page optimization is evolving, and links serve as an indicator of your site's trust and reputation. Therefore, it is important to regularly study this topic and effectively use external links to improve your site's ranking in search engines.
