You need links from other relevant sites. Get a bunch of links from unrelated sites and the search engines won&#8217;t know how to rank your site. You&#8217;ll just end up confusing them and reducing your chance for a top listing.<\/p>\n<p>In my case that&#8217;d be other sites about small business marketing and sales or about web site marketing. In Bbrian&#8217;s case it&#8217;d be sites about real estate and not just any real estate site.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do you want links from other sites that have related content, you want sites from popular sites, sites that get lots of traffic. The more popular the site the link originates from, the more it&#8217;s a positive and helps your search engine positioning.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know how to focus your web site marketing linking efforts?<\/p>\n<p>Do a search in Google for &#8220;real estate&#8221; or whatever keywords you want to to improve your search engine positioning for.<\/p>\n<p>Then check out the sites that are linking to your top competitors and get these sites to provide links to your site.
