Keyword Research
Together we will determine what types of key phrases (keywords) people who would normally visit your website would search for. The best terms are those that bring in a lot of traffic but that are also highly relevant for better conversions. Our research team uses proprietary tools to determine what terms people are searching for and how difficult these terms are to compete for. Once the final keywords are selected, we use these exact keywords to build links to your site. The goal is to get the search engines to see you as an authority for these terms in both your on-page optimization AND your off-page optimization – which comes from links. We help the engines see an increase in "votes" to your website for these specific key phrases so the search engines in turn will increase your organic placement for these terms.
Custom Strategy or Package Recommendation
Often times a client has a certain budget and a package is selected accordingly. In this case we will suggest keyword phrases that we think are realistically obtainable within the budget/link package you have ordered. Other times a client may have specific goals and objectives and require a custom made package in order to achieve these goals. We are happy to make a custom strategy that considers your sites specific needs or recommend the best SEO/Link Package for your goals. By carefully considering the competition and the level of difficulty for your desired keyword phrases, we can give you an educated suggestion on what we think it will take to outdo your competitors.
Link Reporting
All of our links are placed over the course of 30 days to give you an even spread for a more natural looking link trend. Our link builders will place your links on various websites, blogs, directories and social media sites across the web (see more on our link types below) using your final keyword selections from our keyword research. Once all of the links are live and given manual quality review, we will deliver a link report containing all of your link locations. Each month you will be sent a link report with the new links built that month.
Ranking Progress Reports
Each active ThinkBIG link client is given login details to the client area of our website. Our tracking tools will show you various statistics that will continue to be tracked throughout the duration of your campaign with us. One way to track the progress of the link building efforts is to view your search engine rankings. When you start a new campaign, your final keyword selections are added to our tracking tools. Each week the report updates to display your current and previous ranking positions. As your link building campaign continues, you will be able to see the movement week by week or month by month, which is a great way to track the success of your indexing links.
SEO and link building is not an exact science. There are no magic numbers or timeframe guarantees. Generally new link campaigns take at least 3 months to gain full credibility with the search engines, however, we cannot predict the algorithm changes or what your competition might do. So, it’s important to give the links the proper amount of time to fully index as well as track changes and make adjustments when needed. There may be times a particular keyword will take longer to rank for various reasons, our link building team will watch your rankings closely and make suggestions or adjustments as needed.
Whether you are just getting started with a new site in a niche industry or you already have a well established site in a more competitive vertical, you are going to need a healthy and diverse link portfolio in order to rank organically in the search engines for your desired keywords. Here at ThinkBigSites.com we have a wide array of backlink building packages and organic link building services to suit your needs.
Although each search engine has its own algorithm, many years of research and testing has proven that link building plays a major role in determining the organic placement of a site in the search results of any major search engine. Of course there are many other variables that ultimately lead to the increase in organic placement, such as on-page elements including: meta keywords, titles, descriptions, H1 tags, internal linking structure, sitemap, keyword density, etc. However, you could have a fully optimized site with a competitive amount of content pages, all rich with the keywords you’d like to rank for, but without other sites linking to you, you will never get the visibility you need.
"How do links work?"
Each link acts like a vote to your website, so the more links you have pointing to your site using the keywords you’d like to rank for, the more visibility and credibility you gain with the search engines. As your links index with the search engines and grow in volume and age, you will see your organic placement for the target keyword(s) increase. Generally new links do take 3-6 months or longer to fully index, but a client can experience organic increases as early as 2-4 weeks. Although we know links are a necessary component to search engine rankings, there is no magic number or type. The key is to select keywords that are realistically obtainable within your marketing budget and build a variety of links over an extended period of time for a natural looking portfolio. ThinkBigSites.com uses sophisticated research tools to create a list of key phrases to choose from, relevant to your business. Along with you, the client, we will select the best keywords for your link building that consider competition, traffic and conversions.
"I know I need to buy backlinks, now what?"
There are many automated backlink services and link building companies out there who claim to be able to guarantee rankings, but why risk a penalization? Our link building experts understand that a healthy backlink portfolio increases with time and comes from manually building links based off of client’s individual needs. By utilizing our own worldwide network of SEO friendly blogs, websites, social bookmarking and networking profiles, we can ensure your links are coming from sites that will steer or point high quality inbound links to your website. In addition to higher PR sites, we also focus on diversity through a wide variety of link building efforts including Press Release Syndication, Article Syndication, Blog Reviews and Directory Submissions as well.

Here is a brief description of the various link types offered within our link building campaigns:
Article Writing and Submissions
A professional writer will write an informative piece relevant to your industry. Articles do better if they are less "salesy" and more informational. The "sales pitch" and calls to action will be in the footer area. Each article is roughly 450 – 550 words and includes 3 keywords. The keywords will be used within the content; one hyperlink will be included in the body, two in the footer. If you prefer, you can provide the content. We will then syndicate the piece by submitting it to article directories and other relevant locations on the web. Because articles are intended to syndicate, the piece can get picked up 100’s if not 1000’s of times. We will report back with all of the guaranteed locations. Each location in your report will contain three links. This is a great way to get natural looking links embedded in relevant content.
Blog Reviews and Comments
Blogs are a great way to build relevant links within blog posts or comments on posts. Using our private blog inventory and developed blog partnerships, we will write a relevant blog review about your website, products and/or services. We will then link back to your site 1-5 times using your target keywords. These reviews are intended to provide increased search engine visibility, however, they often times are read by the readers of the blog and can encourage conversation and direct clicks. Additionally we may comment on a relevant post, or even comment on the review for increased user generated content which adds value to the posts (Google loves fresh content) and also gives us the opportunity to drop another keyword link back to your site.
Directory Submissions and Links
Directories are one of the oldest link building methods on the web. Because directories are intended to host links they are very natural and safe. We manually submit your website to relevant niche directories and/or premium directories with relevant categories to your niche. We follow each directory’s individual guidelines, ensuring a much higher approval rate, which means we can guarantee locations, not just submissions. Directories are great for SEO, but also provide the site users with relevant content about your site along with links to click on.
One Way Links
For several years now we have been building up our own private inventory and partnerships with 1,000’s of sites on every subject matter imaginable. By utilizing our own inventory, we are able to guarantee permanently placed one way links on a wide variety of websites stemming from unique IP addresses. The sites used for these one way links generally range in Page Rank (PR) from 0 – 5. All one way links are guaranteed to display a Google cache which means they are indexed by the search engines and therefore can be called "SEO friendly". Our goal is to get you a wide range of PR for a very natural looking campaign. Occasionally clients require certain types of links or higher PR. If you have a custom request, please ask and we will quote you based off of the availability within our network.
Press Release Writing and Submissions
Our optimized press releases are written by a professional writer who understands SEO. Generally Press Releases are used as an announcement on something newsworthy happening within your company. Your target keywords can be used within the piece to help increase the organic rankings as well as provide readers with relevant links to click through into your site from. These Press Releases are submitted to popular news sites and will generally be picked up by dozens of major business websites across the world. For more information on Press Releases, please visit our Optimized Press Release Services page.
Social Bookmarking Links
We use popular social bookmarking sites, such as Del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, ClipMarks, etc, as well as niche bookmarking sites with cached profiles, for diversity and SEO value. Unlike other link building companies, we submit each social bookmark by hand, using the profiles we have created over the last several years. Automation can be detectable and can devalue the efforts, creating links that will never index. By avoiding automated submission tools, we are ensuring the links look natural, while still making unique content and coverage for all of your target keyword phrases a priority.
Social Networking Links
In our August 2010 Newsletter we talk about the changes Google Caffeine, a 2010 algorithm change, brought to the search results. With the update came more focus on "real time" content and links. In order to stay ahead of the game and compete with the user generated results, Google now gives a heavier weight to links from popular social sites that allow their users to post updates – such as FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. We developed a link product that utilizes these popular sites. We have access to 100’s of unique profiles that can link to your website and surround the links with relevant content and your target keywords. Because these links are dynamic we will provide a screenshot of the link along with the link location URL, so you can easily see the posts. Often times these comments, tweets and posts encourage other viral links (retweets for example) and direct clicks along with the SEO value, making Social Networking Links a must for any link building campaign.
