Link Me! Link Me! Building links in today’s Local SEO advertising world is a little like jumping up and down waving your arms in gym class hoping the jocks will pick you for their team. (Roll your eyes all you want, but you know you wanted to be picked!)

Every site looking to expand it’s foothold in the search engine optimization world wants to build some link love with other related sites. Good links are as resource that not only bring your more visitors, they can also improve your page rankings and increase your page reputation.

Links are one of those categories that seem so straightforward and simple and yet once a business starts delving into the process, they get overwhelmed and discouraged.

To give you a better understanding of Links and how they work, let’s start from the top and work out way down.

There are four main types of links out there.

1. Text Links: This is the most common type of link. It is a word or phrase that, when clicked, brings you to another page or site. Sometimes these are called Static Links.
2. Image Links: This is an image, a picture, that when clicked on brings you to another page or site.
3. URL Links: This is just a website url that is a link
4. Dynamic Links: These are Javascript links that take you to another page or website, but they have extra codes embedded to perform other functions as well.

Think about the types of links that you have on your site, what type they are, and where they lead.

We’ll talk about the type of links that you want for your Local SEO in another post.
