Link Building for Effective Search Engine Optimization
When you begin the task of acquiring quality and relevant backlinks to your website there are many factors that can increase or decrease your search engine rankings. This article outlines the difference between good and bad backlinks.
A quality backlink pointing to your site should be in the same category and relevant in content to your website. The page where your link is located should be indexed by Google and the page should also have a Google page rank. The webpage where your link is located should also contain no more than 30 other out-going links to other websites. Link pages with more than 30 out-going links are less relevant to the search engines. Having your link posted on this type of webpage can affect your search engine rankings in a negative way. Other excellent techniques of acquiring backlinks are directory submissions, posting articles, blogs and forums.
For directory submissions select the proper directory category and take a look at how many other websites are contained in the category where your link would be posted, if you can manage to get on the first or second page of the listings, this is a quality backlink. Also look at the Google page rank of the landing page for your link. If the page has a Google page rank this is also a quality backlink.
Stay within your category, relevant content is very important to the search engines. Write an article preferably relevant in content to your website and submit the article to high quality article directories. Blogs are an excellent way to get quality one-way backlinks, Blog sites also receive tons of traffic, which in turn give your site more exposure. Posting your link on forum pages is also an efficient method of aquiring backlinks instantly.
Backlinks to avoid would be a zero page ranked webpage, especially if the home page has a zero page rank. Links posted within framed webpages which will also steal your traffic. Especially avoid link farms, webpages which contain more than 100 unrelated outgoing links, This type of link page is frowned upon by many major search engines. Avoid Webpages with mirror sites containing the exact same content with a different URL, also pages that utilize redirects and URL cloaking. Never post your link on a webpage that contains a “no follow” or “no index” robots meta tag within the source code. Dynamic websites with question marks in the URL should be avoided because they are not always indexed by the search engines.
Avoid posting your link on a page that opens very slow or contains mostly ads and flash banners. Try not to aquire or purchase great numbers of backlinks in a short period of time, backlinks should be accumulated gradually. Also avoid webpages and directories that list their results in alphabetical order, as their database increases your link could be moved to a less relevant page with less pagerank. Quality backlinks are one of the most important factors involved in the process of acheiving high search engine ranking.

Internal Linking
Internal Linking
An internal link is a hyper link to another section of the same document, or simply a link to one webpage to another webpage within same domain. During any SEO process we give additional importance to backlinks or inbound links. To some extend this is also true that number of inbound links matters a lot for good ranking. But we should not forget that good internal linking structures in website will not only help in search engine ranking, but most importantly it will make website “user-friendly”, and easily accessible for the information it contains.
So let us look at some briefs on the benefits of Internal linking::
1. Proper Indexing of pages
A good internal linking structure can help in proper indexing of webpages in the website.
2. Help in promoting new offers.
Promotion of any new offer can be placed to any of the page in website, providing link which
redirect to the page have detailed information about the offer.
3. Increase the scope for using keywords
The smartly used keywords or key phrases as text to link for navigation can provide better
keyword density per page. Also viewer seeking information on websites are likely to click a
link with keyword that matches the information he is looking for.
4. Improving internal pages PageRank
Generally search engines follow some algorithm, and they give priorities based on the
importance of the links directed from the home page. The lesser number of clicks required
for navigating a page from home page, the more importance is given to that page by search engines. Hence by choosing a structured way of links you can get a better internal pagerank.
Based on various factors and the way search engines crawls a webpage, there are some popular ways of doing internal linking:
They are
A horizontal navigation bar for website on the top of the page. As search engines crawls a webpage from left to right from top to bottom, this is one of most significant place to put links.
A navigation column for a particular category in left hand side of webpage. This makes navigation easy & “user-friendly”.
Using Text link instead of images is more helpful. Make sure that you are using the targeted keywords in text links, keeping the spamming issue in view.
A group of internal links can also place at bottom of webpages, as footers. But mostly bulk f keywords their will spam the website.
Hence not only the external links but also the internal links plays a vital role in a proper optimizing of a website. Excess of anything is disadvantage, so do it safely and smartly.

How do you send half of your web traffic to a new site?
I have a new version of my site in a different directory and I want to send half the traffic there to beta test it, while keeping my old site in tact. I have searched for redirects and .htaccess solutions and can’t find one.
Send the traffic to your original site. Have some code in the home page that checks whether they should be redirected to your new site page.
What areas of interest would be a good website to link my coffee web page?
I need to know what kind of websites would be a good website to ask if they would add my link to their web page. I am creating a coffe shop web page.
Yay for coffee! I’m drinking some right now! 
I would look for local art galleries and such. Art always goes with coffee. you could also look at other Coffee shops who are friendly enough to want to help a fellow Coffee lover out. Anyplace artsy or unique. Gift shops. Not only link off of other web pages but go to local places and put out business cards! Best of luck!!
