Off site optimization refers to the link building process of a website. It can be performed in a wide range of ways including directory submission, article submission and press release submission.
One of the ways to get backlinks is to submit your site to the directories. There are thousands of directories but you only have to submit to those that have pagerank. If you have time, you can submit your site to the directories with pagerank 0. Backlinks from directories with pagerank 0 can also help to increase your ranking in the search engine. However, you will need more page rank 0 backlinks in order to rank on the internet. Having too many backlinks with pagerank 0 can hurt your rankings. If budget allowed, you should submit your site to paid directories. You can also create a directory in your own niche and include the URL of your website. You can find directory list by performing a search in the internet. Most directory list contain deadlinks so you have to check them manually. It is best that you compile your own directory links. When you found a working link, you can copy and paste it into a Microsoft Excel sheet. When you want to perform directory submission, you simply open all the URLs in the Excel sheet and submit your site.
Article submission drives targeted traffic to your website through the article you submitted to the article directories. Every article directory has a set of guidelines that you must follow. You have to follow the guidelines so that your article will be approved. The ideal length of the article is 400 – 500 words. You should refrain from writing article that has too many words as nobody will bother to read a long article. The article should be optimized with keywords. Almost all the article directories have strict requirements regarding the keyword density. If you are not sure about the keyword density of your article, you can use the online keyword density checker tool. In Ezinearticles.com, the submission page has an integrated keyword density tool which determines the amount of keyword in the article. If your article has a high keyword density, it will let you know so that you can rectify the mistakes.
Press release directory submission is used by companies to promote your products and services. It is seldom used by webmasters to promote their website. If you want to sell a product, you can use the press release directory to make an announcement about it. Famous press release directories are accessed by millions of visitors per day. It can be difficult to write press release because it has a different format than article. If your press release does not follow the standard format, the editor will reject it. There are many websites that teach you how to write a press release. Generally, the first paragraph of the press release is preceded by the date and venue. The venue is the city where the event take place. The format of the press release is like the news. Unlike news, it talks about the products and services that are offered by the company.
