SEO Tip 5: Build A Link Network

Everyone knows that with good SEO you’ll have links coming in. What most people don’t know is that great SEO has links going out as well! Getting as many links coming in is good, but you’ll also want to show that you aren’t only getting in links, and you’re giving a little link love out yourself.

Building a good linking network can be beneficial for all the sites involved. Most the time you’ll exchange link A for Link B. This is fine and dandy but if you can make it more then that and get a little linking party going on you’re going to win. Give up a link or two on your site to link A and in return Link A links to link C and then link C returns your links back to you. This is known as a 3 way link trade and it works wonders for your link building networks.

Linking to relevant niche sites will also help your SEO. For example if you run a sports site, throwing a link to ESPN or CNNSports is a good idea, and you won’t lose anything from it!
