Webmasters, internet marketers, and bloggers can't miss search engine traffic. Here is some information on how to rank high in the search engines by focusing on off page SEO.



Building quality backlinks to your website is one of the most important considerations when it comes to off page SEO. If you want the search engines to rank your site for your primary keyword, backlinks are essential. Whatever niche you may be in, look up the number of backlinks your competitors have, and you'll find that those who rank the highest tend to have the most links. You should make link building a part of your long term strategy, and obtain some every day, rather than trying to get hundreds all at the same time. You should consider the acquisition of targeted backlinks a priority when it comes to off page SEO factors.



One way the search engines find your site is by reading your site map, so you should always have targeted keywords in anchor text on your site. In order for your site to rank well, the search engines have to be able to read all of your site's pages easily, so having a site map properly set up is crucial. With a site map, the search engines can readily view all of the content on your site and rank it. This should be one of your first tasks when it comes to optimizing your site. If you're wondering how large your site should be for SEO purposes, this is something on which even SEO experts disagree. Some people will tell you that a larger site will tend to rank better, but on the other hand some webmasters manage to rank well with smaller sites as well.



You may have to test different options, keeping in mind that the search engines always prefer original content. You may find that a smaller site can't reach the place you're aiming for, especially in a competitive niche, so you may have to expand it. The only way you can really find out what works is to test.



The page you're linking to -does it have a similar theme as yours? The more related in theme the sites you're linking to are to your own, the better for SEO purposes. The search engines prefer that sites link to other sites that are relevant.



Getting links from unrelated sites won't be as helpful when it comes to your site's ranking. As you work on building links to optimize your site, it's therefore best to choose sites in the same or a similar niche.



The off page SEO techniques we've explored in this article can make a big difference in how the search engines view your site, so pay careful attention to them. There are no magical solutions when it comes to SEO, as success comes to those who regularly apply the fundamentals.
