Here are a few concepts behind the power of links.

PageRank in general.
What is worth receiving a link from? Any site with a PageRank – PR – of 0 or 1 is useless. Don’t spend any effort on that. PR 2 is alright but not worth celebrating too much over. Aim for PR of 3 and 4. Higher than 4 is of course even better but as a start up blog it will be highly unlikely that you will be able to persuade higher ranked sites to link to you.

PageRank of the Home Page
It’s not always true that a site has the same PR on every page especially if the site got caught selling links on a previous occasion. Watch out for sites with high PR on their home page but once you look more closely at other pages on their site you find a great selection of PR 0. This is often the case for free directories/sites.

Part of the presence building process is to create links to your site. But it’s not just any links that you are looking for. Links need to come from sites that have at least a PageRank of 3 and preferably more. Receiving a link back from other blogs with a high PR will build your blog’s reputation.

Link building is a task that internet marketers need to take on if they wish their blog or site to acquire more traffic, receive a better PageRank and become more credible. For Google, which is the search engine that awards PageRank, part of the credibility score is how many links you have to your blogs or sites. The importance of these links is also relevant.

How do links work? In a nutshell if you have a direct link to your site via a highly respected and high PageRank site such as the New York Times, Nasa, Google, Adobe or Microsoft for instance your site is a very important site.

Or that is how Google evaluates it. It’s along the same principle as some people who attach themselves to celebrities. They think by being associated with famous people, they will get famous themselves eventually. Of course, as you know, this doesn’t quite work as well as they think. But then that’s because the link isn’t that strong.

One of the most important aspects of writing effective ads for your pay-per-click adverts is to remember why you are advertising. Write your ads with this main point in mind. It’s not always a given that you want to sell a product or drive traffic. It all depends on what you are hoping to achieve with your campaign.

If you are using your PPC ads to drive traffic through to your site then write copy for that. If you are wanting to sell a product, then make sure your ad is already encouraging that mind set in the potential customer who will be clicking on the ad.
