Mind-Reading - For Salespeople
Would you find it easier to get a sale if you could read your customer's mind?Assuming you said yes, here's how to do it. Ask the right questions and listen carefully to the answers, your customer will tell you everything you want to know. Easy, eh?Well it sounds easy, but it takes self-discipline to do it right. Let's start with the questions to ask.The first type is what are known as 'open't to your Web site, the better the ranking. Over the past 7 years or so, search engines have improved their ability to evaluate links in response to wide spread abuse of free-for-all links pages and similar sites that helped unethical Webmasters manipulate the rankings.

A lot of incoming link will not cut the mustard any more. The quality of the Web sites that point to your Web site is more important than the number of inbound links. A Web site that has content which is related to your Web site is better than a link from an unrelated Web site or a site with a ton of links (link lists).

The benefits of having quality inbound links:

1. All the major search engines that link popularity into account when they rank web sites. To improve your link popularity (and to improve your search engine ranking), you must have good inbound links.

2. This idea is often overlooked, but, your linking partners will send you new visitors through the inbound links. As an example, if you have 600 inbound links pointing to your site each site send you an average of two visitors per day, by the end of the each day you will have 1,200 visitors. We can show you how to get many more link partners so that you'll get even more targeted traffic to your site.

3. Building reciprocal links will build a great link directory. This will improve the experience that your Web site visitors will have. Your visitors will bookmark your site and visit your site again and again because you can offer them a valuable resource: a well organized link directory.

Important points to remember about inbound links:

· Inbound links should be from related web pages

· Link Tags should include the keyword you want to achieve a ranking for.

· Link HTML Tags should not repeat exactly the same link text over and over on different sites because that looks unnatural to search engines.

· Inbound links s

When you start a link building campaign, go for link quality, not quantity of links.

Do not participate in linking schemes or link farms that offer you hundreds of inbound links within a short period of time. The search engines do not rank sites that participate in these systems very well at all, additionally the quality of the sites in these link building schemes is generally low. You should focus getting higher quality links even if you only get a few a week.

Automated linking schemes and link farms can get you banned from search engines. If you target high quality inbound links, that method will lead to lasting results. It certainly does take longer to get high quality inbound links but the results will pay off in higher ranking for your Web site.
