The importance of backlinks and deeplinks for your website

Have you ever checked to see how many Backlinks your Website has?

It is one of the biggest factors in improving SEO and rankings so you need to find out. To find out how many sites are linking to yours.Go to Yahoo and type into the search engine the following:-

link:http://www.yourdomain.com

Replace yourdomain with your actual website and your ready to go.

The more backlinks pointing to your website, the better your rankings should be. They help with search engine rankings and of course attract more visitors to your website. But to confuse things a bit. The backlinks need to be from ‘good sites’ to have any effect on your rankings. I know this may sound confusing, but backlinks from a website such as Wikipedia carry a lot more clout with search engines than a link from some spammy viagra site which carry no weight at all. So backlinks are important and where they come from is also important.

Deeplinking

Another thing you want to try and avoid is making all backlinks just point to your homepage. It is important to get links to other pages in your site.

As an example, if your website is about DIY and has pages and articles showing different projects. Then if all backlinks to your site are pointing just to your home page and none pointing to the article pages, then your not reaping the full benefit of your linking activities. So check how many are just pointing to your inner pages. And if it is none then you need to incorporate this into your seo strategy.

If you think about it. A visitor goes to your website and finds some great information and wants other people to know about it. Then they link to it from their site..a backlink is created and the search engines realise that you have a valuable and important site. It then gets more authority and raises up the search engines if enough links are created.
Difficulties In Creating Deep Links

It is a little harder trying to get sites to link back to one of your website pages other than the homepage. Usually when asking someone to link to you they always link to your homepage. If using website directories, most only allow links to your homepage, and not any deeplinks.

So get some deeplinks, it is a great strategy for seo for your site
