So here we go. As we all know the fact that inbound links(backlinks) are the most important thing in SEO to gain ranking or indexing, and this point has become the base of SEO since Google came to the picture of Search Engines Community. Well after the panda update the concept seems to get totally changed as ranking for broad keywords is dead sure not only way to get visitors to your site especially for small business sites.
In my last article here I had suggested to track your inbound links and keep the record of the numbers and also maps their growth this would be the most effective step to plan or grip your impact over the link building campaign for your site. Well, I never suggest keeping track of the figures just to make reports but the intention is more than that we collect those figures to do something about them. In other words, we use this information to figure out the KPI’s (key performance indicators).
Well for a successful campaign of Advanced Link Building we have to design goals and measure competition. So how would we do that?
As with any other business, it is always a good idea to set your goals in mind as well as on paper and it is even more compulsory when you are your own boss. So set a reachable short-term goal that helps you to reach your bigger goals. Once you set link building goals with your target dates and target numbers you should analyze their KPIs or Key Performance Indicator. KPI’s are measurable which helps you to identify how much you are nearer to your goals.KPIs always help you to communicate your link building campaign to everyone in your organization.
For every site conversion are the most important thing and conversion can be of any kind it can be direct sales and it can also be signed up for an account or it also can be counted as any free downloads. It all depends on the business purpose your site is targeting. You just have to identify the keywords from which you got the maximum conversation. And you will get that information from Google Analytics. Once you know the keywords which give you the highest rate of conversion means you are all set to run your link building campaign targeting those keywords to attract more potential customers.
