Offsite Optimization
Synopsis
Offsite optimization deals with the stuff outside your website that can contribute to SEO. One of the main components of offsite optimization is getting backlinks. Backlinks is one of the main components of offsite optimization.
A backlink is basically someone else’s website linking to you. Obviously, pages with higher page rank that link back to you give more Google Juice. The key is to get as many high page rank, RELEVANT websites linking back to you.
Quality over quantity, nuff said.
So it would be a good idea to scout around your competitors websites and request a link exchange.
Another important component is social interactions. Like I said, Google’s algorithm changes from time to time, and recently they implemented a new ruling that social interactions are important for SEO. This could be things like sharing on Facebook, Twitter, comments etc.
The world is connected to everywhere now, not a stand alone component.
