Building Your Business While Avoiding Keywords with Nofollow Tags

Posted by eCorners.com in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Nov 06, 2008

Link building is big business online.  There are few better ways to enhance your page rank through search engine results than by participation in a link building project. 

Free link exchanges, buying links on websites and linking through online articles are all fantastic ways to improve traffic flow to your website, as well as to increase the rank of your page through major search engine results.  However, before you begin link building, you'll need to ensure that the site does not use keywords with nofollow tags.  What are these tags?  What's at the heart of link building? Here's a little more information.

Link building is the practice of adding a hyperlink to a webpage (paid or free).  These links are created with keywords, enhancing the ability of consumers to find your website or offering, as well as enhancing the standing of your webpage in search results.  The higher the number of quality links to your site, the higher your page rank will be. In addition, the quality of the site on which the inbound links are located plays a role in your page rank (the higher the value of the linking site, the higher your rank).

By buying links in articles, adding links through classifieds, business directories and link exchanges, your traffic flow is increased and search engine spiders are encouraged to crawl your page more frequently, giving you a higher page rank for consumer search results.  However, keywords are the heart of link building.  Keywords are terms that consumers use to search through a search engine, such as Google or Yahoo.  These words and phrases must be included in your link and form the text that the consumer (and the search engine spiders) sees.

However, many websites are now using keywords with nofollow tags.  These are HTML tags that tell search engine spiders that the page to which the link leads should not be indexed.  This dramatically reduces the effectiveness of link building.  Keywords with nofollow tags can reduce the benefits of link building by more than 50%.  What does this mean for you?

It means that, in order to find effective link building, you must find a website that does not add nofollow tags to links. A surprisingly large number of mainstream websites and even blog hosts are now using these tags.  However, ECorners.com understands the importance of link building and does not use keywords with nofollow tags.  This ensures you the maximum exposure to consumer searches, the best possible page rank through search engine results and greater profitability for your business.

By providing you with the ability to buy links in articles, add links for free to your own listings and network with other businesses and entrepreneurs, eCorners.com is setting the trend for online directories.  Including your business in this link building enterprise is the best way for you to ensure future viability of your company, immediate ROI, the best possible page rank through all major search engines and the growing profit that you need for your business to succeed.
