Here’s Why This Directory Should Be Important To You
What Are Backlinks and Inbound Links?
Backlinks, or inbound links, are a form of off-page SEO (Search Engine Optimization) where you earn links from other websites that direct readers to your own site. The person receiving the link is one the who refers to a link as a backlink. For example, here’s a backlink from this page to our charter site What A Hawg Charters In Fort Myers. Backlinks (i.e., inbound links) are different from outbound links (links from your website to another website) and internal links (links from one website to another page on that same website).
The right backlinks can do two great things for your website:
(Backlinks is what this site creates for you.)
They can drive traffic to your website. If someone posts a backlink to your website on their website or blog, their readers might click on it — and you’ll benefit from that referral traffic. They can help you rank higher in search. Backlinks tell search engines that your website is an authority on a certain subject — so the more backlinks you earn from high-quality, high-authority sites, the better your website will rank in search engine results pages (SERPs).
A good inbound link comes from an authoritative website, and uses natural anchor text. Anchor text is simply the text copy that’s hyperlinked, like this (the anchor text there is “like this”). Natural anchor text means you’re not just hyperlinking keywords left and right. Google understands the context of a link, so more generic “learn more” and “click here” anchor text can be just as valuable as keyword-optimized anchor text.
So in a nutshell that’s why you need to use these directories. The more back links you have from DIFFERENT domains the better you will all rank in the search results.
