There’s no question about the value of linking for an SEO campaign. But this does not mean that one should go about building links at any cost. Extra money and time spent are the prices of errors in link building judgment. Once you decide to use link building in your marketing, it’s worthwhile to do it ethically and properly. It’s not worth the risk losing all your work just because your site was banned for using shortcuts in linking. Link building practices have undergone important changes in the last few years. Actually, building links is not any easier to do, it’s gotten a lot harder to do. It’s just that Google has gotten tougher on marketers who try to cheat their system. Of course lots of black hat marketers still use techniques such as link/comment spamming and other methods. Proper backlinking takes time, and this is can lead to marketers making mistakes that result in penalties on their sites.
Ok, first mistake on the list is using a backlink from a web property with a bad reputation in the search engines. Committing this mistake, even if you don’t know it, will hurt your site rankings in the search engines because they will give you negative SEO points. If you link to a site with bad reputation, you’re telling the search engines you think it’s a reputable site. The problem is they will not agree with you - and you’ll get slapped with penalties.
And that is exactly why you need to do a quick background check for each site you plan to get links from. In the event your site is giving a backlink: If you’re offered payment to ‘give’ a backlink to a site known to have a bad reputation, you should decline it because it will only hurt your site. You can prevent future problems by simply avoiding these sites.
Another mistake is not taking advantage of the ALT tag in image links. You can use keywords in ALT text for image linking, so it’s important to do that.
The backlinking aspect has both known and unknown considerations. Violating these rules, even innocently, will cause penalties and additional problems. It’s a great idea to stay current with information regarding SEO/linking. It’ll help you stay on foot ahead of the competition and also avoid mistakes. These practices will only make your link-building experience more positive, plus it’ll help your search engine rankings.
