<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%2Ffree-links-from-twitter&style=normal&b=2" height="61" width="50" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>Do not exist; Twitter marks all of their links that are outbound as no follow. Even the links in Twitter user’s bio, but that does not mean Twitter cannot be used to bring in links.</p>
<p>The Twitter feed known as Twylah, pulls all tweets from your Twitter stream and post them on your profile page. The only problem with this is that Twitter users will most likely be using URL shorteners which such as bit.ly, this means that the URL will not have an anchor text, which would be very helpful, however having that link which points to your site is better than nothing.</p>
<p>If your Twitter profile is on topic the majority of the time, then the links that are sent out will be seen as more important. Not only that, but if you do some link building to your Twylah page to increase its’ PR and SEO value, then the links that Twylah send out will become even more important!</p>
<p>If you want to make the most out of Twylahs links, stop using URL shorteners as this will help with branding. However if your posts are too long, then you will either have to live with bit.ly’s or shorten the rest of your content.</p>
<p>You must not get too carried away with this using Twitter as a <a href="../../link-building">link building service</a>, if you would like to do this then I would suggest creating a dummy profile just for <a href="/">SEO </a>links. Because if your following on Twitter joined before you started using Twitter as a link builder, you will no doubt lose your following.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Twylah is a great way to pull in free links, but it is essential to not get carried away with it, make sure your original use for Twitter is still there, otherwise you will find your profile is losing follows gradually until you have none left.</p>

<p><a href="#"></a>Everyone loves a free link, and if it doesn’t take a lot of effort to do, you’re mad for not doing it. Google Plus has released business pages so you can now create a profile for your business, but not only that, you can use this profile to help improve your <a href="/">SEO </a>efforts.</p>
<p>There are 3 areas on each Google Plus page or profile that you can use to send links your way: introduction, website and recommended links. The last two are fairly obvious to send links your way but you need to make sure you are using them properly. The first is introduction; this is the designated area to describe yourself or your business. Make sure your keywords are in this section as it will not only help you rank on Google + but you can use this to help your site rank. Simply highlight a keyword or phrase, select link and add in your website.</p>
<p>The website area is self-explanatory but there is no opportunity for an anchor link like the introduction area. The recommended links section allows you to show your friends your favourite pages. The title of the page is basically the anchor text, so in this case, you can take the usability route or the SEO route. The usability method would be to name the page, for example <a href="https://www.twylah.com/seopositiveltd">SEO Positive</a> sends you to our home page. However this opportunity could be used for SEO purposes and you could enter one of your keywords. This choice will vary depending on how you want to use your Google Profile, if you are using it simply for the SEO factor then no doubt you will be making the most of the anchor text, but you could also use this for <a href="../../reputation-management">reputation management</a>. However this is another story.</p>
<p>Social Networks like Google Plus offer you the links for free, which will help your <a href="https://plus.google.com/103584357129967335126/posts">SEO </a>efforts and help you rise through Google’s SERP’s. Opportunities like this need to be made the most of because they could make all of the difference in the rankings, and from a high ranking site like Google, it is an essential link grab that if anything is encouraged.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft" title="Yahoo" src="../../url-source-imglanding-ct-img-q-/wp-content/uploads/yahoo_logo1.jpg" alt="Yahoo" width="170" height="151"/>SEOs world wide would have been redirected to the dreaded page of the “site explorer update” In a nutshell, this service is no more and we are going to have to find another place to locate a reliable source of backlinks.</p>
<p>We were all told that Yahoo site explorer was going to be closed down at some point, but it has come to a shock to all SEO’s of the world. Such a massively used and reliable tool is now no more.</p>
<p>Yahoo have said that Yahoo search has been merged with Bings’ Webmaster tools. For many toolbars such as <a href="/">SEO</a> Book, this has caused a massive problem. Beforehand, we had the ease of viewing the amount of backlinks a page had, without even having to open up another browser.</p>
<h2>What Is Next?</h2>
<p>It is fair to say that Yahoo! Are finished and this site explorer integration to Bing was the last step. SEO’s will have to find a new source of information to base their research on, this will prove to be a difficult task, especially because Yahoo was free and provided excellent results. This could lead to many <a href="../../seo-company">SEO companies</a> having to go down the route of purchasing software which was once not needed but could now be an essential factor of any SEO business.</p>
<p>The integration into Bings’ Webmaster tools could prove to be a good thing, however this may not completely take off because it may be unable to include into a toolbar like it was for Yahoo site explorer. Fingers cross that there is something that can be done on the situation, because SEO’s will be feeling the burn of an essential tool being snatched away.</p>

<p><a href="#"></a>If you were to try and use Twitter to help link build for your site, you would be called insane because Twitter make all of their links no follow. What if there was a way that you could use you Twitters’ content, to create a website and link out from that website to your own site which is in need of inbound links.</p>
<p>Twylah is an ingenious idea that has been long awaited. The site pulls all of your content from Twitter and organises it into topics which is based on keywords in the mini blogs. Twylah also shows what topics are trending with each user. According to Twylah, my trending topics are: <a href="/">SEO</a>, Google, Facebook, Brand, Social Media and Google +. That sounds fairly accurate to me.</p>
<p>Besides Twylahs’ clever trending feature, it has much higher potential. I myself guest blog quite frequently, and have made a constant effort to link build to my Twylah page to help increase the worth of that site in Googles’ eyes. My Twylah page has a PR of 1, however I have also been link building to <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/103584357129967335126/103584357129967335126/posts">SEO Positive</a>’s Twylah page and they have a PR of 3! This must be due to where the links are coming from because the <a href="https://www.twylah.com/seopositiveltd">SEO Positive</a> page has a few links going to the page where as my <a href="https://www.twylah.com/laustinseo">laustinseo </a>Twylah page currently has none. This must be due to SEO Positives PR of 5.</p>
<p>So if your Twylah page does have a relatively high PR, then you can begin to use it. The first and most obvious would be to link to pages that need more attention in terms of <a href="../../search-engine-optimisation">search engine optimisation</a>, this is what would naturally happen, but also you could begin to sell a link going from your Twylah page, to someone elses and it can become an outgoing link service, all from your Twitter feed. There are a lot of possibilities with Twylah, and as your page progresses, its’ worth will increase.</p>

<p>One of the best and most popular ways of marketing your website or online business over the Internet is using SEO. However, since <a href="https://www.homeloansdebt.info/seo/tips-seo.html">search engine optimization</a> (SEO) is such a common tool today, you need to incorporate something special in order to make SEO work for you. An essential part of <a href="/">SEO </a>is link building and it is widely used. This process involves generation of links through blogs, forum posting and directory submission but not limited to this. If you establish several inbound links leading to your main website then your page will be ranked higher in search engines depending on the keywords that you are optimizing for. The links that are one way are much more helpful in boosting the rank of your page as compared to reciprocal or multi-way links.</p>
<p>The targeted traffic of a website is a main consideration before the starting of link building activities. This determines where you would want to place the links that are leading to your website so that you can ensure that the users who are directed to your profile are interested in your products and services. The chance of your profits rising increases with the amount of relevant traffic that you drive in. the most effective method to build links is by establishing one way links that directs to your website according to SEO experts. This would be an inbound link that would point to only one direction. This kind of a link is given the highest recognition by search engine bots while defining the relevancy of your pages. You can build one-way links by sending articles to article directories and content sites that are related to your website. Usually such sites have a resource box where you can type the link that points to the resource website.</p>
<p>A second method of link building is multi-way link building. This involves the creation of several non-reciprocal links among websites that have at least three partners. These links go only one way. You can also use other ways of link building such as posting videos, images, RSS feeds on the websites of your partners. You can start a link campaign with the help of professional <a href="https://plus.google.com/108919010703043112939/posts">SEO services</a>. Such services will offer to do your link building campaign in exchange of specific rates. The professional link-building services manage to increase the relevancy of your page by planting permanent and inbound links that point to your website.</p>
<p>You should be aware of not doing overlinking. This means you should not have too many hyperlinks. The search engine bots that are for the main search engines like Google and Yahoo have the capacity of recognizing whether certain links are relevant or not. Excessive links on a page makes these bots disregard them in determining the rank of your page.</p>

<p>We’ve all noted in recent years how SEO has become increasingly important, and nothing seems to be changing on that front. Businesses online, individual sites, blogs and a host of other media strive to get their sites on a good Search Engine Results Page (SERP), but how do they do this? Well, they tackle <a href="/">SEO</a>.</p>
<p>We all know that nowadays one of the most effective ways to get PageRank and those page good rankings is to delve into link building. Black hat, white hat and all those in between have been tried and tested and, of that, link bait has emerged as a powerful tool - and many have now started thinking up and creating link baiting strategies to get those valuable links. However, what we must remember is that there are those link building strategies that have changed the world; but how did they do it you might wonder.</p>
<p>If you look at the examples below they are forms of “natural link bait”, if you will What they did was create something so valuable that what they got in return was far greater than they could have hoped for. What this has done now is opened the door for others, you and me included, to create something that will have a major impact on the success of any online media campaign.</p>
<p>To access these tools that have been created, we will be using Opensiteexplorer, which is a form of link bait and a tool that many online marketers use with more than 60 000 inbound links. This is very advantageous, as they are seen as a huge authority figure in the online marketing world.</p>
<h3>Adobe reader</h3>
<p>Firstly let’s look at Adobe reader. They have created a reader for us to read PDF’s on your PC, and you can get it for FREE. Of course, they have other programs that you pay for, but at the start of it all Adobe set out to create something free for the people, and look what they got.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A PageRank of Ten (recognized as equally powerful to <a href="../../blog/category/facebook">Facebook</a> and <a href="../../blog/category/google">Google</a>) and almost six and half million inbound links, now, that is just amazing. If you suddenly say yes but it is Adobe they are a large corporation, well my answer is that they never started there. They created something for free that everyone decided to use and if you have the means you can do it too.</p>
<h3>VideoLan organization (VLC)</h3>
<p>If you are a movie, series or video nut like me, you would have heard of VLC. On their website it states, “A project and a non-profit organization, composed of volunteers developing and promoting free, open-source multimedia solutions.”</p>
<p>This again is showing that these guys set out to create an open sourced tool that everyone can use for free, turns out it is the most popular tool in its field (they make some money through donations to keep the dream alive).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Again, we can see the authority of the site and with over 200 000 inbound links, they have become one of the most respected video cross-platform multimedia player authorities. Yet another example of how creating something like this and offering it for free can create an almost viral link bait.</p>
<h3>PR Checker</h3>
<p>Finally, looking at a site such as PR Checker (a site that offers a free tool to check the PageRank of a site) all you have to do is insert your sites URL and it will pull the information.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Something that, out of the three examples, is the most unknown and probably the easiest to make has inbound links amounting to 3.7 million. This would be almost unbelievable if the stats were not in front of you. This also means that it gives them the authority now that, if they take on other projects, they will already have the trust and perceived expertise that can give them a head start.</p>
<p>Thus, one can see all the benefits that ‘natural link bait’ can bring. Simply by these sites creating a tool that was intended as a ‘stick it to the man’ kind of gesture, in creating something everyone could access free, pioneers like these have created link building that changed the online world. Anyone, if they have the drive to do it, then, who knows? Your site could offer the next free tool that is on everyone’s sites and minds.</p>
