Which of your important interior pages could use some assistance? Obviously NOT your “privacy policy” or probably not your “about us” page…
But take stock and choose any 3 of your “most important” pages today and set a plan to specifically work on increasing some natural link popularity, directly to those pages individually. Part of some people’s trouble (when it comes to linking,) is that they become overwhelmed. The job seems too massive when really, it’s not. Just a little plan and a little consistent effort even once a week, can carry you an ENOURMOUS distance! What’s your plan? Start by choosing just 3 of your “most important” pages today.

This verification tool checks to see if your site is in the top three pages of a search engine result for a specific keyword. It’s
important to be in the top 3 pages of a search result because most people using search engines don’t go past the 3rd page.

Every merchant should create keyword lists for affiliates to work from. A keyword list helps both PPC and natural search affiliates. By defining themes you can reap traffic benefits that your own site does not focus on.
For instance you may sell Ipods and accessories but you cannot expect to hit every keyword or phrase and be in the top spot. Have your website focus on your branding, customer service, unique sales proposition and user-friendly content.

Search for your most important keyword phrases. Look at your competitors’ titles and descriptions. How do yours compare with theirs? Make sure your titles and descriptions are more compelling and designed to grab the visitors’ attention immediately. Ask for several people’s opinion on this — your opinion may be too biased.
If you’re just listing keywords in your title and description versus a compelling title and description, rewrite your tags immediately.

Are you working toward getting links to your interior pages?
If any of your interior pages are of particular importance to you, work on building some link popularity to those pages individually.
Remember: link popularity is “page specific,” NOT “site specific.”

At the bottom of your pages, do you have a straight text link pointing back to your home page? Does it say “home”? If so, this isn’t helping your site with internal link reputation.
Change it to “keyword phrase home” (IF it sounds appropriate to do so.)
In other words, use your keyword phrase in the link text pointing back to your home page. The link should be an absolute link versus a relative link. For example: http://www.yourdomain.com versus index.html
