<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><iframe src="https://api.tweetmeme.com/button.js?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seopositiveltd.co.uk%2Fblog%2Flink-building-techniques-amidst-google-algorithm-change&style=normal&b=2" height="61" width="50" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>Google recently had a major algorithm update and these updates were geared towards eradicating content farms from their search engine results page rankings. This came about after a lot of internet marketers have been complaining about the increase of such content farms where websites are getting away with it by being ranked high by Google.</p>
<p>As a backgrounder, people who utilises content farms are those who are building backlinks from such contents. The new algorithm aims at de-ranking such websites utilising content farms for their <a href="../link-building">link building</a> strategies. Some <a href="/">SEO companies</a> and may have been affected by this algorithm change because of the fact that link building using such content farm sites would definitely hurt their rankings the following are some tips on how one can build links where such links would not hurt their campaign instead it would benefit such.</p>
<p>1. Link only to credible sites or sources – with the recent Google update, sites which scrape of contents and those that have duplicate contents does not provide any of those so called “link juice” as such sites are now considered to be a site of no reputation. Therefore having an online reputation is important for the search engine companies.</p>
<p>One way to gain link from reputable websites is by joining online groups such as Advocacy groups, Support Groups, Professional organisations, Trade and different Civic groups. These organisations may include you in their online roster of members which would therefore make your site gain a high quality link.</p>
<p>To increase probable linkability send a tweet announcement every time you join an organisation and ask your followers to retweet, this goes the same with tweeting on the different organisation announcements. Another way to increase links from being a member in a professional organisation is by utilising social media such as Facebook to display the organisations’ announcements among others.</p>
<p>2. Submit links to directories – this may be an old technique where <a href="../seo-consultant">SEO consultants</a> would submit their sites’ links to a long list of directory sites. However, submitting to a long list of directories would ensure your site to being given a high ranking in Google. Search engines prefer to rank those that have high quality links rather than a thousand low quality links. One way of getting a high quality link would be submitting to DMOZ and Yahoo directories. These two directories already have several categories which could accommodate a single niche.</p>
<p>With the Algorithm change of Google it is believed to be the start of a more relevant and highly reputable search engine results page rankings.</p>
