I know, that name sounds familiar. It’s that annoying little pop-up window in your browser that pops up whenever you click on an external link.
Yeah, it is that annoying little popup window. And its the first time I’ve actually seen it in action. It pops up whenever I try to visit an external link (or when I try to click on a link in a blog post or an article), and it usually has some nice little pop-up video to accompany it. I like to call it the “wicky,” because it’s so annoying (in a good way).
Yes, that pop-up window is called an “external link” in the eyes of most webmasters, but as many people know, it is not a “link”, in the eyes of Google. It’s just a link to the external website you are already on, which is a separate page from your own on your own website. And many webmasters don’t realize that they are actually looking at a link.
The pop-up window can be a great way to get a link to your site that isnt already a link, and it is not a link, in the eyes of Google. But it is a very useful tool when theres a little extra bit of fun to it.
It is also important to remember that the best link building is the link building which will not get you penalized by Google. Google is the ranking factor here, not the page that you are linking to. If you are linking to a page on your site which is already ranked well, Google will not penalize you.
Sure it can be fun to write a link that doesnt get penalized, but that isnt the best. That is the second best – that is the link that will get you to people who are willing to click on your link. The best link building is done when people are willing to click on your link. So, to optimize for this, you may need to include a call to action in your link that will get people to the page.
In a lot of ways, linking to a page on your site with a call to action in it is much like the good old days when you linked to a page on your site and had a button on your page. Nowadays you can put a call to action on a page itself, but most people tend to click the links in the page instead of the page itself.
I think this is because everyone seems to get so caught up in the process of making their page or site look good that they forget to think of it as something that might also help with SEO, as well as build the page’s authority. For example, if you have an image of yourself on your page, and somebody clicks on the image and sees your name in the top corner of the image (but not your face) they are more likely to click on the image.
That is a true statement. It’s also the reason why I put a ‘n’ after a link to your page. It indicates that I really mean it.
The concept of SEO is not just about getting links, but also about making sure that your page is well-optimized. There are some SEO tools you can use to improve your page’s SEO but if you don’t use them you are missing out on a huge opportunity to have a page rank in the first place.
