Improve Search Engine Rankings with Keyword-Friendly Links

Getting links from other web sites has always been an important factor in increasing your search engine ranking. Here's something you can do to make your links work even harder for you. The anchor text, which are the words that link to your site, should contain targeted keywords.

Example 1: www.startsmartnow.com

Example 2: Affordable Custom Web Design and Web Hosting

The anchor text in Example 2 contains targeted keywords for my site and will help move up my web site's search engine ranking for those keywords. So, all you need to do is come up with your own keyword-friendly link. Then, contact the web sites that have links to your site and ask them to update the anchor text to your new keyword-friendly link.

If you really want to be a good netizen, send a link to this article to the site's webmaster when you ask to have the link updated, and of course, offer to do the same on your web site.
