Off-Page SEO - Link Building and Popularity

off page seo
Off-page SEO is the efforts of search engine optimization of external websites.

Optimizing of the website, or on-page SEO alone is often not enough to get a high ranking in the search results. Especially for new websites that do not have an audience, unless competition is the key word quite low.

Why backlink so important ?

To understand the importance of off-page SEO, I will explain a little about the relationship between search engines and links.

Search engines like Google have a duty to conduct bot crawling the Internet. Google's name is Googlebot crawler, Googlebot move from website to website via the links listed on every page of the website. From the data gathered by Googlebot, composed index and rank order website.

Because Googlebot uses links as navigation, the website that has a link from the outside will get a high priority. The more and the higher the quality of the link, the better the ranking of the website.

This is why links from other websites (backlinks) plays an important role in SEO.

Link building strategy is wrong

Off-page SEO has a dark side in them.

There are those who want to raise the ranking of the website but are too lazy to create quality content and marketing, instead they rely on link building.

Link building is supporting the website's content, without having good content, you should not do link building. Because besides useless, the result could be a penalty from Google.

Good link building process is always associated with content marketing. Not through spamming and use of bots or software automation.

There are several forms of backlinks that are not preferred by search engines because it is often misused. Here are some of them:
  1. Exchanging links. Way that is very popular in the mid to late 2000s, exchanging links directly does not provide positive benefits again.
  2. Buying link and use the services of backlinks. Buying links is indeed the possibility to raise the ranking quickly but usually will not last long because you will be exposed to penalties from Google.
  3. Comments on blogs and forums. The links that you get from the comments on the blog do not provide great benefits, as well as forums. But they often become land spam.
  4. Auto-approve link. All forms the link that is not through the moderation of the website owner. That is the direct link appears when inserting your website address.
  5. Using bot software. There are several software / tool which can be used to get links automatically, but the link you get low quality and can actually damage the website.
  6. Private Blog Network. That is a collection of blogs that are owned by one person only functioned as a field backlink to their main website. Google actively penalize blog network like this.
  7. Spam. In any form, spamming technique will not give a positive benefit to you.
Links are obtained by the above methods is usually low quality. The maximum result you can get is ranked high in the short term, then penalized by Google.

Therefore it is better to avoid this kind of technique.
As with on-page SEO, quality is very influential. Even off-page SEO is more sensitive to quality.

That is like this.
Although you have a website and content is good, if you do off-page optimization techniques that violated as above then you will not escape punishment.

Because of the importance of link building, then further guidance to get quality links will be discussed in the next chapter.

The relationship between content and backlink

Content = onpage, backlink = off-page. Is there a relationship between the content and backlink?. Very there. Here is an excerpt from Bing.

This is because Google to read what was in the text surrounding the link and decided in the context of what the link is installed. As a result, your website will get points for these keywords.

Logically, if we get backlinks naturally the type of backlink will vary. This is why search engines use diversity as a factor.

5. Social Reputation

Google can understand the sentiment within each comment. This means that every time your website appeared later appeared negative comments from others, it will be bad.

Similarly, contrary to the positive sentiment which had a positive impact.
