Ethical Link Building Guide for Bloggers

Links are one of the important SERP rank determining factor. Google, By their various search algorithms they have threatened the small blogger like me to not to link any low authority website. This is giving birth to era of "Mega Blogs" as capitalism in our economic system.

As rich are becoming more rich in capitalist economic era, these so called Mega Blogs are becoming bigger than ever as small bloggers are not linking each other at all. Even in case some blogger connects and makes a community, Google will penalize them labelling it as "Link Network"!!! I  am still to find anything bad in this. What is bad if some bloggers from similar niche, writing about similar topics join their hands to provide users' a better reading experience and providing them deep insights by linking various sources and blog posts from their network bloggers' blogs. After all it is helpful for bloggers, they need not to go back to Google and search again for deep insights.

Are you a Good Blogger ?

Ask yourself, are you really a good blogger?
In long run you can't succeed as a blogger if you don't make a faithful reader base, a group people who loves to read your content. You need to act as a guide. Following unethical practices and providing information that is not reliable won't let you make a reader base. You need to answer yourself following questions before  claiming yourself a good blogger.

Using too many ads

Using too many ads on your website ruins the viewers' reading experience. A header ad then an ad below post title then another ad in just above footer and a bunch of ads in the sidebar. Using too much more effects your search engine rankings as well as the readers' experience.

Promoting products that have no value for money

I have seen bloggers promoting some products that doesn't worth promotion, just because those products bring them high revenue, bloggers misguide their readers. A sponsored post after every two articles passes a bad impression to the readers. Viewers get irritated by so many ads and lack of content. It is really important to generate revenue from your blog, but if you are doing so in return of bad readers' experience, then certainly you can't taste success. Just give a look to some pro blogs, these blogs have one or two ads on there homepage, sometime not even one. They use sponsored reviews which comprises of less then 25% of total content. So it is advised not to use too many ads on your blog.

Badly designed blog

I have seen lot of high quality blogs having unique and fantastic but unable to catch much attention because they are badly designed and using some basic blog template. There are lots of free professional and clean WordPress and blogger templates aw available which can make your blog look clean and elegant.

Inactive on social media sites

Bloggers need to be active on social media sites. Blogging can,t be done on an island. You need to make close relationships with related niche bloggers. All your target audience access social media websites daily, so to make good relations with fellow bloggers, readers and advertisers you need to be active o. Social media sites.
