Buy Links

Paid links is one of the most popular ways today for webmasters to improve their sites ranking and Google PageRank.

Actually, Due to the importance of links to search engine ranking and in particular text links that gives an extra benefit of the anchor text, an entire new industry had emerged: Text Links Trade – many sites now offering their clients space for sell for the sole purpose of text links.

Prices are set according to the following criterias:

1. Google PageRank.
2. Page location – homepage, sitewide, subpage – the deeper it goes in the site the lower the rate.
3. Link Location – location of the link on the page: Header (very rare), Left Side Bar, Right Side Bar, Middle of text or Footer – where the closer the link is to the begining of the Body Tag – the higher the rate.
4. Alexa ranking.
5. Traffic.
6. Number of links sold.
7. Number of OBL on that page.
8. IBL – The amount of IBL could point on future changes to its Google PageRank.
9. Term of link – if you sign for a long term link you would usually get a better price.

The following are the 2 major text links brokers:

There’s also many other places you can search for links:

All of those websites mentioned above offers you the option to buy links, but also to sell links from your website.

 

Does buying links assures me that I would improve ranking and Google pagerank?

No! According to Matt Cutts, links that are purchased and discovered by google as purchased will be devalued and won’t transfer nothing but traffic. – read more

 How can Google discover that the links are purchased?

In most cases purchased links will be under the title “Sponsored Links, Featured Links, Advertisers, etc..” – you can understand how easily it is to be recognized by google bots.

Search Status Keyword Density

Search Status 1.18 – my favorite tool is this FireFox addon – after a quick installation you can right click the small icon of the side in any page and check for keyword density and you’ll recieve a small window with just the important details according to a keyword of you choice. You can also leave the keyword field empty and get a full keywords analysis.

WebConfs Keyword Density Checker

WebConfs Keyword Density Checker – Enter a url and get a Keyword Density cloud followed by a list of the keywords sorted by percentage and details about the number of appearances and percentage in page. Very simple, very nice.

Ranks.NL Keyword Density Tool

Ranks.NL Keyword Density Tool – Maximum options to customize your search: you can choose specific words to ignore, you can choose specific html elements to ignore (comments is a default),  specific keywords to focus on – although you will get a full report anyway. What I don’t like about this tool that the page results makes you want to run away – so many details – so much is written that you don’t know where to start.
If you stayed on the page you would find everything you looked for, but this tool is for those who are really into extra reading.

SEO Chat Keyword Density Tool

#2 on Google for keyword density is the tool by SEO Chat. This tool gives you a little more customizing options, as you can pick how many maximum words should be in the keyphrase, if they should count a year (e.g 2004) as a keyword, how many keywords you want returned and should they count Alt, Metas & Title. Nice Tool, does exactly what it says it does.

Keyword Density.com

KeywordDensity.com – Compares between 2 pages for a specific keyword or keyphrase.

Although it is really easy to use, the results are not so accurate, as in some parameters you will get 200% when there should be just %100 – Listed at the 1st position in Google for keyword density gives them the traffic, but as for quality there are much better tools.

Keyword Density

Keyword density is an important SEO tool that allows you to check the percentage / number of a specific keyword in a web page.

With that you can compare between similiar pages why does one page out rank the other for that specific keyword. Assuming all other SEO specifics are identical – you could adjust your site according to your compatitors and even out rank them.

If you tried any of the keyword density tools mentioned in the following posts – please rank them.

Digital Point Forums (DP)

Digital Point is a software company that I guess until 2004, when they’ve launched their forums on February 2004, had their main source of income from developing servers, file handling & ISP Billing software.

In 2004 they’ve launched their (what a surprise!!) phpbb based forums on http://forums.digitalpoint.com with a few rooms only dedicated to their software support and discussions only.

Digital Point forums are by far the most populated, rewarding SEO Forums today.

With as many as 31 main rooms and 53 sub-rooms DP can be the place to discuss any topic you have in mind.

What is nice about DP is that you have the opportunity to make money just by posting in their forums. After entering you Google adsense code in your profile, you will make a certain percentage of the revenue each page makes through clicks.

Also if you’re looking for SEO Benefits from participating in forums, Digital Point has a few as well – In your profile you can fill in your blog name & rss address and a link with your last post title will appear at all of your posts under your handle.

Also each can promote his sites in the signature links and even have affiliate links in the signature if he wants to – something most SEO Forums forbit.
