Backlink Keywords

Before you start a backlink campaign for your website you must
decide which keywords you are chasing. Deciding on the right keywords is a complicated process but for the sake of brevity I’ll assume you know the keyword phrases you want people to use to find your site (if you don’t know what I am talking about read some of my other articles for help). This is important because each time someone links to your site it gives you a backlink vote. That vote comes with relevancy that is largely determined by what text they use to link to you. You can influence that text by carefully selecting how you title your website and article pages.

If you run a blog chances are people link to you with either your name or your blog’s title as the anchor text (the clickable link). You should very carefully select a name for your website using a phrase that you know is a popular search term for your target audience. When bloggers link to your articles they usually use the title of the article so again you must always be on your toes when deciding how to title content in your website.

Although human usability is the most important consideration when choosing titles, choosing the right keywords definitely comes a close second and should always be part of your mental thought process when naming anything on your site. If you can combine a clear title with smart use of keywords then you have a perfect match - optimizing your content both for humans and search engines.

In my article marketing campaign for my blog, Entrepreneur’s Journey (www.entrepreneurs-journey.com), I use my blog’s subheading phrase - Internet Business Blog - as an alternative link text along with my name or the blog’s title as options for linking to my site (I give these options on the page where I request link exchanges). This is good for two reasons -

  1. It varies the incoming link text to my site, which is a surefire way to avoid any over-optimization penalties from Google and…

  2. It gives my site ranking points in the search engines for the term “Internet Business Blog”.

You should always promote 2-3 keyphrases rather then focus 100% on only one term or spread to thin and optimize for 5 or 10 or more terms. Over time you can refine your phrases until you find the combination that brings in the most targeted traffic.

Traffic in the Inland Empire can be at times horrible. With one lane shutdown, drivers seemed to forget how to drive and then that’s when the trouble begins. With the influx of new housing and people moving away from LA and Orange County, the roads and highways are only going to get more congested and dangerous.

There definitely needs to be something done, because at certain times the freeways and local streets are just a parking lot with angry drivers, and disgruntled drivers in the Inland Empire are a scary bunch of people. You don’t know if you are going to get shot, or ran off the road, or followed all the way to your destination and get stabbed. The sad thing is that when they finally do approve of a project to try to ease congestion, they’re usually 10 years behind. They then have to create another project to fix the project that they are currently working on. It’s so sad over the Inland Empire.

I don’t know if something like this exist, but there needs to be a message board of some sorts that the commuters can talk online with the people who are in charge of these type things. The commuters are the ones who actually drive the roads and know where the trouble spots are. They can tell city planning or whoever is at the top, and tell them some valuable information they can use to help them plan for their next fiasco. I believe this Inland Empire web design company can develop a site like what was mentioned above.
