Seo School Bus Lecture: How Did You See My Links?

By:


A little story to share with you. I have a friend with a website that posts 5 days a week. I was reading his most recent post, when I wanted to check how many links he had coming into his website (it showed around 2400). I quickly sent him a text saying, You have 2400 incoming links for your site. He said, How did you see that?. Which brings me to a SEO tool that you should be using. SEO for Firefox, while a great resource for research, can help you learn SEO as youre using it. If youre not using FireFox this might give you a reason. I wont than go into to much depth of how this tool works, (there are plenty out there) my suggestion would be to play around with it first. But this wouldn't be an SEO school if I just let you out recess.

First thing to look at will be the options of the tool where you will find what kind of info you want to know about a website. You can set any of the options to automatic, hide, or on-demand. You may hide one that I may have automatic, and you might ask: Which ones do you have hidden, automatic or on-demand? I dont want to push my bias onto you, because then you wont do any research on your own to understand why its important.

Im now in the habit of right clicking on every website and using my look up this page option. I could spend hours looking at where websites are getting their links from, from reading the articles that have been written to directories they have submitted to. If you can understand why they have the link and how its helping them you will be able to convert this into learning SEO techniques for your site. We will revisit this tool often and touch on various aspects of what this information can do for you.

Obviously the best way to learn SEO, is going to be doing the work yourself. Part of my SEO school is to show you what I am doing. I wouldn't be able to speak on a subject like learning SEO if I myself was not doing what I was recommending. The truth is if you have to have a desire to learn SEO because you want to know how it will help your website.
