Keyword links will get traffic. Adobe currently beats 1.4 billion results to get to number one for what keyword phrase? click here, probably the most common keyword link in existence. And this simply happened because most websites that have an Adobe download link make it click here. Whether they get traffic with this search is debatable, but the point is made.

So what exactly is a keyword link? A keyword link is a focussed back link, a link that points to your site. But its a super back link. A keyword link not only gives your site a back link, but also tells the search engines that your site is the authority on that keyword phrase. In short Google loves keyword links. And you want Google to love you.

So is using keyword links part of your marketing repertoire. If not you should ask yourself why, because using keyword links to your advantage is almost as easy as tweaking what you are already using. Using discussion forums? You should have a keyword link in your signature pointing back to your site. Writing articles? Make sure you have a keyword link, or two, in your resource box. Simple tweaking, great new results!

This raises the question of what keywords your keyword links should have. Most of the search engines have dedicated tools to see how many searches are done on a specific keyword or keyword phrase, so be sure to make use of that. Some basic guidelines are to choose keywords for your link is the competition should not be to stiff and it should be very relevant to your site.

Heres an example: you have a website that mentors people on how to get traffic to their sites. They best keyword link would be something like get traffic or instantly get traffic or get traffic here. So in your recourse box you would have: We teach big traffic secrets! Click here, get traffic now. In this case get traffic now would be your keyword link and not click here. Competing with Adobe on a silly phase like that really is futile.

I think its best to concentrate on one or two keyword links when you start out promoting your site. If you sow different keyword links all over the internet your efforts will take some time to start giving you some really hardcore results. You want to get traffic now, not later.
