OK, so let’s build some links (backlinks)! One of the easiest methods of building links for your seo off page optimization is the old school method of visiting one of the major search engines (preferably Google) and searching for your targeted keywords you would like your site to rank high for. Now visit some of these sites that rank well for your keywords and attempt to contact them either via email, contact forms or phone and ask them if they will consider exchanging links with your site.

Be prepared as many of these site owners will not want to link back to you unless your site is relevant and has something of value to offer such as high quality pages with great content. You may need to explain that your current ranking is low but your website team is actively working on several projects to improve website traffic and relevant backlinks over the next few months and we fully intend to improve our rankings in all the major search engines.

Ok I admit it, this is just a test. We just wanted to see if we used Jessica Alba’s name what kind of traffic volume we might get on our site. Does it have anything to do with SEO? probably not.

Ok, I know this is posted all over the place on other blogs but it is too good not to post here. Even if it means my blog goes into the supplemental index again. :)

If all seo and website traffic techniques were explained in plain simple English like this. We would all be experts in no time at all. I’m a big believer in the “keep it simple” theory. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.

Please let me know if you enjoyed this as much as I did.

I went searching for the answer to this question and the only thing I found was a comment on Matt Cutt’s blog in 2006 by a user stating he read somewhere inside Google sitemaps that the standard only allows 2000 characters. I don’t believe this to be the case now, as most of my files have been found and disallowed by Google and because of my recent site restructure, I currently have 4394 characters in my robots.txt file. Does anyone out there have the exact answer on this? I will try to post the question again to Matt Cutts.
