How Important Are Backlinks?

If you have researched search engine optimisation the chances are you would have come across the term “backlink”. A backlink is essentially a hyperlink that is found on an external website (external to yours) that points back to your website. These are really important for SEO – search engines put a lot of weight behind them. As example, go into Google and search for the term “click here”. I bet the number one result is Acrobat Reader, right? How can Google put this at number 1??

If you log onto this website you won’t even be able to find the term “click here” on it once. So why does it get such a high result for this term? Well, the reason is simple. It’s because millions of sites all across the internet link back to this website with the anchor text “click here”. The anchor text is the text that appears over the top of the link. Search engines come to the conclusion that because so many other sites are linking to this site with the term “click here” it has to be the most important and relevant page on the net.

What makes a good backlink?

Hopefully you now appreciate that Google and other search engines put a lot of weight on the backlinks to a website, however, the quality of the backlink is also checked. Backlinks from websites that have low page ranking (i.e. Google doesn’t think much of them) will not be as important as a backlink from a webpage with a high page rank. So if you can get a backlink from Wikipedia for example, this is an excellent quality backlink – Google will put a lot of weight behind it!

The quantity of backlinks are also important, although probably not as important as quality. The fact is nobody apart from those working in Google knows how the algorithm works.

Another thing to note is that search engines look at the relevance between websites. If there is a link from a website about SEO and this links to a website about cars, there is little relevance here and Google will probably consider the backlinks low quality.

How do I get backlinks?

Backlinks can be generated by blogging and writing articles where you put in the resource box at the end a couple of backlinks. Additionally you can buy backlinks or ask other website owners to post a couple on their website. By ignoring backlinks you will be at a significant disadvantage and will probably not rank well in Google. But by getting a lot of backlinks you can do very well and even end up on Googles first page of results.

These days, more and more companies are feeling the need to devise and utilize a search engine marketing strategy for their brands or lines of businesses. With the large number of internet users within the country and from world over, different companies can no longer give a blind eye to the great potential of the online market. This is mainly the reason why more and more companies are seeking the help of SEO firms. However, outsourcing to an SEO firm proves to be more challenging than what it seems. And many businessmen ask: is there a certain set of essential services that an SEO firm must offer for them to qualify as potential search engine marketing partners?

Indeed, there are certain basic services that SEO firms must offer so they can prove to be helpful and potent search engine marketing partners. Most basic of these services is search engine optimization, which is regarded as the backbone of search engine marketing. Aside from search engine optimization, SEO firms must also be able to help companies with link building techniques. A good SEO company must be able to have a proven process of building relevant backlinks for your website.

Online branding is another key service that companies should look for in a search engine optimization agency. A good SEO agency will help you increase the visibility of your business in the online world through the use of new techniques like social bookmarking and social media marketing. Web analytics is also an important part of any internet marketing strategy. You can evaluate SEO firms by reviewing how they can effectively monitor, analyze, and enhance statistics on your website.

One of the biggest and critical tasks in search engine marketing is the ability of an SEO company to develop relevant content. The success of a search engine marketing strategy relies much on the relevance of the content included in and linking back to your website. You would surely want to partner with an SEO firm that understands the importance of having relevant content. If a certain SEO company does not even mention content in their list of services, better drop that company from your shortlist.

The job of search engine marketing firms does not just end in increasing traffic and backlinks to your website, and improving its overall visibility. A search engine optimization firm must also conduct split and multivariable tests to evaluate and improve conversion rates and leads.

Bobby Hull: The Golden Jet

Nicknamed The Golden Jet for his blond hair and his jet-like slap shot, Bobby Hull was the most feared goal scorer of the 60s and 70s He and teammate Stan Mikita were the first NHL players to use curved stick blades, which made his already wicked slapshot even more difficult to stop.

Hull was born and raised on a dairy farm near Belleville, Ontario. By his teenage years it was apparent that he was on a fast track to NHL stardom, and he joined the Chicago Blackhawks not long after his 18th birthday. He would finish second in the leagues rookie of the year balloting in his first season and within a couple of years would become one of the NHLs marquee superstars. By the third year in the league, he was already a fixture at the top of the goal and point scoring charts and would lead the Blackhawks to a Stanley Cup championship in 1961.

In 1966, Hull broke a hallowed NHL scoring mark by becoming the first player to net more than 50 goals in a season. His 51st goal broke the record of 50 goals held by Montreal Canadien greats Bernie Boom Boom Geoffrion and Maurice Rocket Richard. Hull would go on to score 54 goals in the 1966 and would surpass that mark by scoring 58 in 1968.

Hulls tenure with the Chicago Blackhawks ended in 1972, when he jumped to the upstart World Hockey Association (WHA). Hull signed for an at the time unprecedented $1,000,000 signing bonus. Initially, Hulls response that he would jump ship for a million bucks was an offhanded joke but when the WHA ownership agreed to contribute to that sum thinking that it would provide instant credibility for the league it became a reality.

Hull would quickly resume his offensive onslaught in the upstart league for his new team, the Winnipeg Jets. He would lead the Jets to two league championship AVCO Cup victories and in 1977 set a new professional hockey record with 77 goals in a season.

Hull suffered from knee trouble throughout his career and was off the ice more than on it during the WHAs final season of 1979-80. After appearing in a handful of games for the Jets, he was shipped to the Hartford Whalers for future considerations. He would play in a few games for the Whalers before calling it a career. With the exception of an abortive comeback attempt with the New York Rangers in 1981 that was the end of his professional hockey career.

Hull’s legacy lived on in flesh and blood with his third son, Brett Hull. The Hulls are the only father/son combination to ever score 50 goals in an NHL season and Brett will follow his father into the Hall of Fame this year.

Hull is still in good health and splits his time between Canada and Chicago, IL. He currently serves as a PR ambassador for the Blackhawks organization. He is expected to formally induct his son into the Hall of Fame at the ceremonies later this summer.
