Anyone linking to your law firm’s website from a separate URL not associated with your site is considered off-page SEO (search engine optimization). Off-page links are integral to ranking well in the search engines. A link is essentially a vote for your website, so the more votes you have; the better your rankings.
There are many places to obtain free links on the Internet, including the following, which can be used to create links for your law firm.
- Website directories
- Blogs
- Social networking sites
- Guest posting platforms
- Article directories
- Press release sites
The best links are from highly-trusted, authoritative sites in your niche, while law-specific links are often the best type of links to receive. These links will help Google identify your site in the law-related field, which will help your law-specific articles rank better overall.
However, not all links are good for your website. In general, stay away from bad neighborhood links. It is best to avoid links that contain pornography, gambling, duplicate content, or any links that give you a malware error when loading.
Here is a short list of high-quality links. For a full search engine marketing solution contact PowerAdvocates:
