SEO Linking (to yourself)

Sounds strange, but linking to yourself has it’s benefits. ESPECIALLY when done right.

You might ask: “How do you link to yourself?”

And I might answer: “There are numerous ways, for example, when leaving comments on other people’s blogs”

Ok, ok, it’s not just about linking to yourself, as good as that might seem. It’s about creating relevant links whenever you do link.

But, what is this “RIGHT” way of linking? I’ve read many an article on how MSN, Yahoo, and the other minor Search Engines like Google use the actual text in a link to determine link relevance.

For example, saying something like:

Click here to read more info on SEO

just doesn’t have the same effect as:

Read an article on how Mesothelioma is good for making money

So, next time you link to an article on this blog, give the Search Engines a bit of relevance. 😉
