 | Building a External Link Profile & The Different Types of External Links External links into your website are the most important factor if you want your website to rank and appear high on Google searches that are completed by potential customers 24 hours a day. As everybody does, you want to see your website on a Google first result page, as statistics show that 99% of people will never go past the first page of search results when looking for a product or service. The higher your website is at the top of this first search results page, then the higher the probability that your website will be visited before your competitors. If you want more traffic to your website, leading to more sales and an increase in customers for your business, then you must make sure that your site has as many good external links as possible, constantly building a good, solid external link profile for your website. If you aren't appearing in searches and are wondering why, then this could be the cause. There are 4 main types of links that can appear on a web page. You should try and use all of these types of links to create a profile that will improve your websites position on Google search results. Like a spiders web, these links on other websites, blogs and social pages will also increase your chances of building traffic from other sources rather than just the search engines and the direct typing of your website address.
