Off-Page SEO

Off-Page SEO:

Boost Your Website’s Online Persona and Gaining Search Engine Respect! If you've spent any time at all around here (I hope you have!) your brain likely immediately goes to all things SEO and keywords and how to use your site's structure and content.

This, of course, is exactly how everyone who knows ANYTHING at all about SEO probably thinks about their sites.

The things we do inside of the boundaries of our websites is all part of what’s known as our off-page SEO. It’s how search engines view our site’s credibility based on what everyone else on the web has to say or do regarding what we have up there. It helps create the reputation your website deserves! When it comes to SEO, there is one main thing that comes to mind regarding building the online persona of your website. And it’s… Links.

• What The Frick Is Off-Page SEO About?

Now, the concept behind off-page SEO is much broader than JUST the acquisition of links. But for my own definition of off-page SEO, my primary focus is generally the actions we take that create an external reflection on the overall authority, respectability, and overall content of our websites online. So if I'm referring to the off-page SEO of your website, I'm referring to such tactics as: Backlinks (links from outside websites to yours) this is generally a number one signal that Google and most other search engines look for to see whether they can trust you and whether you're providing valuable information.

If they see that a number of other trusted sources online are sending traffic and links your way, Google can conclude that they should trust you too! Guest Blog Posts While not as crucial for backlinking as they used to be in the past, building a network with other bloggers in your industry or a related one can help you build your brand and get noticed. In addition, many guest posts provide you with a chance to include a contextual link back to your own website.

In fact, when a relevant and popular blog shares a piece of your content, there is almost certainly a reference or link pointing to your content from that blog's comments or social media, which Google can discover.

Shares & Social Mentions (even without links) Google has downplayed social signals directly for a number of years, yet it's a simple truth that what other people "say" about you can really have a great impact on how search engines rank you. Whether you’re being referenced on a blog, on another website, on social media, in the comments of a blog post or on a discussion forum, anything that generates social signals and references to your website and content is a good thing for building your overall reputation on the web. If people like, comment, and share your content that’s proof to Google that there is valuable content there that is well received by the public. Even if they aren’t actually creating a link to your content directly, it can still go in front of people that never knew that it existed, thus growing your overall reputation on the web.

• What’s Gained When Someone Shares My Content?

More influence and credibility with a particular online community or within a social network or platform. Develop the reputation and influence on the Web that search engines recognize. My Website Gets Respect!

• What Can I Do to Build a Better Off-Page Strategy?

Let's be real; the only real thing that's necessary to consider when thinking about the reputation that search engines view you as and when trying to be more effective with off-page SEO tactics is... Links! Creating good and highly shareable content ( content that people want to tell other people about!).

It is not always about the volume of the shares and comments but how good the shares are and how people are sharing them.

It’s extremely important to have a solid and growing reputation that search engines will want to see. We are all looking to create this positive image and if you will put into your work and strategy in a variety of methods of outreach such as by guest posting on relevant blogs, building relationships with relevant people on social media sites or other similar online mediums. When You Build Trust Online, The Respect Will Come In Search engines, like people, respect brands and individuals that have a good reputation and demonstrate integrity. While building on-page is always important for SEO, a reputation for a website largely grows from outside the website's boundaries.

Focus on building relationships, producing valuable, shareable content, and utilizing a number of external sources to establish trust and credibility for your website.

Don't BUY Links. Search engine algorithms are very intelligent, and if they discover you are trying to inflate your rankings with paid links, your website will be penalized. Focus on a variety of outreach tactics that can build credibility and encourage people to reference and link to your site. When this occurs on an organic and regular basis your site will gradually improve both its reputation and search rankings.
