Quick Success with Article Marketing
Two key factors have the greatest effect on your search engine rankings.
1. How relevant and focused is your content to the searcher’s query
2. The quality and quantity of incoming links (that come from other web sites to your site)
Most popular search engines give a "vote of confidence" by looking at all the incoming links to your site. For example, if there are 2 web pages both providing similar content on the same topic, say "English Language Schools", which will be shown first in search results?
If the first page has hundreds of incoming links with the keyword "English Language Schools" appearing all over the web, and the other site hardly has any incoming links pointing to it, search engines like Google and Yahoo will give more "weight" to the one that is well linked, and show it first in search engines results.
This has lead web site owners scrambling to get incoming links from other sites. They try to setup reciprocal links - you link to me, I link to you, or they pay for links in directories, and forums for a short time period.
Many times, in the haste to get more incoming links, webmasters start getting links from "link farms", which exist solely to create links to each other, and even trade, or sell links. Unfortunately, Google and Yahoo snub on such practices, and may even ban your site for getting links from such link farms.
