One thing that many internet marketers (or any business that goes online to build business) tend to forget in their campaigns is Anchor Text backlinks.  First of all, building backlinks to your website is extremely important, but if you are not doing it correctly, you can really hurt yourself in the long run.  Second, when you are building backlinks, you need to make sure that you are using anchor text (text that is relevant to the content on your site).  Doing this correctly will not only show the top search engines that your site is important, but it will also show them just what your site is all about and what keywords they should rank your site for (does that make sense???).

So many people will write amazing content to submit to all of the article directories and web 2.0 sites.  They will do their keyword research.  They will have the proper keyword density in their content.  They will write relevant articles that will make people really want to go to their site to continue reading.  Bad news is that 75% of these people will then put something in their author bio like this:

“For More Information on how to correctly choose the best wedding planner for your upcoming wedding, click here!

WRONG!  Now, when Google is out crawling all of these article directories, it will see the words “click here” and think that that word or phrase is relevant to your website!  Really, what the hell does “click here” have to do with your website?  Absolutely NOTHING!  You are hurting yourself.  If someone goes into google to look for a wedding planner, do you really think they are going to type “click here” and hope to find the best wedding planner?  What the most common bride to be is going to type into google is:  best wedding planner in Dallas, or cheapest wedding planners in the Dallas area or something like that.  How about you create a bio box like this:

If you would like to speak to the best wedding planner in Dallas, please contact Kaye at Dallas Platinum Weddings.  She can show you what she can do to make your wedding ideas become a dream come true!

Not only does this sound more appealing, but the more articles that you have out there with this type of anchor text, the higher google will rank you for this keyword or phrase.  This is how you are going to start building business!

In the next post, I will share with you the ways that I go about getting one way anchor text backlinks.  I will show you where to go, how to do it, and how some can and will be more important than others!
