Have you ever seen something you like? Do you ever have to have something right at that very same minute? Are you impulsive and buy things without thinking too much? Do you think research is for the birds? If you have answered yes to one of these questions, you’re like me. Not all the time, but sometimes.
I read the first two paragraphs of an article and complete what the author wants to say in my mind. I think can, I think I can, I think I can… I think it’s some line about a little train going up a hill. Having pure believe in oneself or thinking there will be no sunlight when you pull up your pants is a good thing. To a certain point.
Sometimes you must acknowledge that you are not a leader in your field by continue reading, even if you think you know what’s to come. Web links is one of those fields that I thought I know what it is, and when I was done reading one article, I slap a guru sticker on my back and started my links page.
I read about all the wonderful tools and the thousands of websites out there waiting for me to link to my website. I started with the enthusiasm of 200 school boys meeting the Springboks for the first time. I have since grown up a bit.
Then, after 5 days and only one link back to my site, I realize that there must be more to this. Everybody these days are supposed experts in their fields. These days SEO is a term that is being thrown around on most websites. Please read my article about SEO explained for some insightes about the subject.
If you have browsed around and read up a bit, you have come to the conclusion that linking is probably the most important part of your website. I will write a few articles about linking and what you should do and what to avoid.
