An effective way to ensure this is by utilizing the link building process.<\/p>\n<p>Before you start the link development process you need to have one thing in mind:<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018<\/b>\u2019Find link-worthy and high quality links\/sites that will lead to my website\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Why do you need to have this in mind at all times?<\/p>\n<p>The new Penguin algorithm penalises low-quality links while it rewards those links that are of high-quality. In particular with the advent of the new Penguin algorithm, you must avoid keyword stuffing, over-optimized anchor-text and of course low quality links.<\/p>\n<p>Link building is not a one-day process, but it\u2019s a continuous effort which will be rewarding once you see the rankings that you have on search engines. That is why it is important to have high-quality links.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2973\" alt=\"link-building-process\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webseoanalytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/link-building-process-580x445.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.webseoanalytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/link-building-process-580x445.jpg 580w, http:\/\/www.webseoanalytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/link-building-process-390x300.jpg 390w, http:\/\/www.webseoanalytics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/link-building-process.jpg 651w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Actionable Link Building Steps<\/h2>\n<h2>Manual Link Building Process<\/h2>\n<p>The manual link building process is one aspect of the off-site SEO process that consists of a strenuous approach which, however, in the long run, will bring the results that you seek for: help you receive higher rankings on search engines.<\/p>\n<p>What needs to be done for the case in point is to firstly <b>find high quality sites<\/b>. Consecutively these high quality sites consist of one of the many factors that will help you increase your rankings on search engines.<\/p>\n<p>If you submit your website manually you also need to submit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Meta-title<\/li>\n<li>The Mata-description (in some cases the meta-keywords)<\/li>\n<li>The Link of your website<\/li>\n<li>Your email address<\/li>\n<li>Your name<\/li>\n<li>The category that your website belongs to (hotel, car, media industry etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you manually submit your website, then you will have to wait for the link to be accepted. This might take some time and thus you need to be patient.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted down that the directory submission websites that accept <b>all <\/b>websites are usually of low quality. On the other hand the directory submission sites that are <b>selective<\/b> (and sometimes they even reject your submission) are the ones of high quality.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the manual submission, one of the options that you have and is <b>STRONGLY advised to implement<\/b> is the <b>unpaid submission<\/b> of your website, even if this means that your submission will be rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Another option that is offered is that of <b>Reciprocal Links<\/b> which is <b>STRONGLY advised<\/b> to avoid. Why? Reciprocal links or exchange linking is the process where you exchange links with another website with the ultimate purpose to artificially enhance your rankings. However the artificial enhancement of your ranking may have negative repercussions for the rankings of your website. Thus, it is strongly advised to avoid this approach.<\/p>\n<p>Another option that is available on these sites is the <b>paid<\/b> option (express links, or featured links). This means that you have to pay a small fee for your submission. However this approach is not the best possible one and therefore it is also <b>STRONGLY advised<\/b> to avoid.
