Links

We all want links and links help us rank better and build our site up in the search engines. How do we get links? Well, we write content and then get people to link to that content. Once again, we WRITE content. Then after that, we WRITE to others reaching out for links. Granted we should be interacting with them on twitter, Facebook, blog comments, or something before we send an email, but, all of this is writing. Polish the skill and continue writing in all these mediums to find success in building links.

Social Signals

Tweets, Facebook shares, +1’s on Google, etc. are all social signals that weigh into the algorithm of where you rank and your website’s credibility. If you WRITE and interact with others on these mediums and share others content, you’re more likely to get your own tweets, likes, shares, +1’s etc.
