As an experienced SEO Services provider, I am frequently questioned about the most familiar problems that can cause rankings issues with websites and other questions concerning the best practice for link building, hopefully this article should shed some light on the right and wrong ways to go about optimizing your website and pass on some useful hints and tips.

Outbound Links.
Be careful about who you link out to, it is a little known fact that links from your domain that point to spammy sites or sites that have a bad reputation will essentially damage the trust of your own domain. By carefully auditing any potential outbound link recipients, to make sure that they are up to scratch and do not have any spammy or debatable content, you can essentially protect your own interests very effectively.

Inbound Links.
Many people stick to just one method for building links, but link diversity is very influential, the more “C” class ip addresses that you can gather in your inbound link profile the more secure your rankings will be, and the more natural your SEO efforts will look to the search engines, try to build links slowly and regularly rather than in big chunks here and there. Some people say there is a risk of getting flagged by Google if you build too many links on a new domain too quickly, but personally, I have never seen any evidence to this effect and the numbers required to gain such a flagging must be huge, in all probability it would not be physically possible for one person to manually build too many links in a short enough space of time to cause any issues. New websites can and sometimes do naturally generate thousands of links in a short time when they are successfully and shrewdly launched.

Canonicalization And Duplicate Content.
Both duplicate content and canonical content can significantly impede your websites ranking potential, its always a great idea to check your entire websites content using a duplicate content dection tool like plagium or copyscape. Any duplicate content that you find should either be rewritten or if you are certain that someone else has taken your content without consent, then you can ask them to get rid of it. If they say no, you can then file a copyright infringement notice under the digital millennium copyright act with google and yahoo. Canonical content, is content that is duplicated either exactly, or closely enough to be a problem within your own domain, this is a frequent problem with e commerce sites that operate in multiple currencies, to correct canonical issue’s you can use the rel=canonical attribute to let search engines know which is the right version of the page to rank and which pages should be ignored. Canonical issues can also arise when the non www domain name is not redirected to www. this is easily fixed by adding a redirect in the ht access of your domain.

If you feel uncomfortable regarding making the changes to your site outlined above on your own, or basically do not have the time to effectually promote your own site, then I would recommend approaching an experienced SEO Services provider, SEO is one of those all or nothing things, where unless you have the time and devotion to be able to commit to the long haul, you are better off outsourcing to someone who can.
