SEO: How to Make Search Engine Friendly Links

March 9, 2009 · Filed Under Google, SEO, Tutorials 

linksEach and every one of us link to other blogs, webs and links within our blog or website. There is a common mistake people often make online.

First of all if you’re to link MAYUonline.com from your site, then you’ll probably use the code mentioned below.

<a href=”http://mayuonline.com”>Link</a>

If you notice above link, it’ll show as “Link

Does it make any sense???? Same applies to Search Engines too. When they come and crawl in your site, they’ll find that you’ve made a link to the site but they’ll have no idea about the link. Now look at the good practice.

<a href=”http://mayuonline.com”>MAYUonline.com</a> is a Sri Lankan Blog

Will be displayed as “MAYUonline.com is a Sri Lankan Blog ”
Here SE (Search Engine) will understand that you’ve linked to a site and given a key word “MAYUonline.com” for that link. When someone searches for MAYUonline in Google, there is a good possibility that the link you mentioned will be displayed.

    Still better is to links as MAYUonline.com is a Sri Lankan Blog or MAYUonline.com is a Sri Lankan Blog so it understands that mayuonline.com is a Sri Lankan Blog and shows your blog when some one searches for SriLankan Blog. More people may search for Sri Lankan blog than Mayuonline.com :)

    Yeah same here :) For a long time I’ve given the link as ‘here’ or something like that. Only once I got in the webmasters tools I figured that my site links were also linked backed as that :) Decided to change it then and there!
