Best Links
Monday, May 19th, 2008SEO Posts - Best links are the text links that are the most important incoming links you can have to your website. Those flashy banner ads may grab attention of the visitors and drive some traffic to your website but they are considered less valuable for search engines.
Search Engines don’t like paid links and they certainly consider banner and flash ads as form of advertising and rank those links less. But they came more about text links as they consider text links as “votes for your site”. For example if you have a Soccer store website and you sell a unique product such as Beach Soccer Socks, you can get better ranking in search SERP by linking Beach Soccer Socks including those words in the title tag of the anchor.
You can use CSS to change the look of your link so it can grab attention of your visitors. For example Sand Socks.
Or you can use your banner ad as a background color, and roll your text on it. That way you get advantage of grabbing your visitors attention and advantage of directing search engines to your site and get ranked better.
