The
Link Geek’s objective: to create customized link marketing campaigns to drive traffic, support ongoing search engine optimization efforts and build awareness through creative linking.Link Building is the process of enhancing the Link Popularity of a webpage by creating links to it from other domains, in order to increase Search Engine Ranking of that webpage. Although the major benefit of Link Building is to increase the rankings of a webpage on Search Engines for different keywords, Link Popularity Building also helps increase the PR of a webpage, increase direct traffic, help in deep indexing of a website etc.
Custom Link Building Campaigns focus on securing one-way links from quality, relevant, on-topic websites within the film industry and beyond. Do not use automated programs, spam sources or send canned e-mail. Each potential link partner is carefully reviewed and catalogued for personal follow up. Campaigns are focused, long-term and uniquely created for each movie. They are a combination of classical marketing and online promotional tactics for maximum sales and search engine rankings.
Incoming links have gained unprecedented importance in high ranking of your website. More and more major search engines, including Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com, AltaVista etc. rely on off-page factors such as 'Link Popularity' to determine how important your site is in order to rank it high. Now web site optimization, no matter how nicely it is done, is not sufficient to get you good rankings. A large number of good incoming links help your website beat competition to rank high in Search Engines.
It is important to note that all links are not created equal. The search engines evaluate the incoming links on various parameters to determine the value of each site linking to you. Some important aspects which search engines evaluate are - PageRank of the linking webpage, total outgoing links on the linking webpage, industry relevance of the linking webpage, page relevance, keywords in anchor text, etc. For details about important aspects of links, please read our article - Building Link Popularity. Our linking strategies are marketing strategies, so you won't find us slapping up links on non-relevant sites or engaging in large scale link exchanges. We're thoughtful, creative and most importantly - effective!
