How to Build a Website - Day 7 - Building Backlinks

Day 7 Building Links Back to your Site

A link page, also known as partner page will help

Although I'm not sure that nowadays backlinks matter when it comes to traffic generation and looking good in search engines eyes (or robots), they come in handy when it comes to reference.

And that is why you can - but you can choose not to do so - build a partner page that would be dedicated to closely related sites. 

Let's take an example. 

If you create a website that is dedicated to "electric home coffee machines", you will want to find partners in the same market - although not exactly in the same niche.

Actually these partners will complement your niche with theirs. So if you only exploit the electric home coffee machine niche, then you are going to want to link to sites that exploit "electric coffee grinders",  "coffee beans", "coffee cups" and other coffee related things.

For such a purpose, you are going to run a search on your favorite search engine and look for these sites. Open a notepad document on your computer and copy and paste each link along with the site title, a description and their contact email.

Save the document on your computer and create a new webpage to which you provide the accurate name and extension such as "partners.html" or "friends.html" or even "links.html". The page title must however be more descriptive, so you can title it "More coffee friends" or whatever you like.

Keep these files on your computer, you will use them later... 

Remember to write articles today. 2 or 3 should be enough for a start.
