Is It High Time to Outsource Your Backlinks?

3:42 pm RSS Feed Icon Search Engine Marketing

In a world gone mad with the concept and reality of internet marketing, website owners struggle day in and day out to stay ahead of their competitors.

Using every trick and non-trick in the book, their goal is to achieve global and/or local awareness of what their website has to offer the consumer, home business seeker, student, surfer.

So what makes a website "popular?" What elevates one guy's (or gal's) website over and above the next? Is it that stirring copy? Are words what dazzle? Or, could it be something else entirely?

Driving real people to one's website and commanding that all important sale is the number one goal of all website owners. Even when "selling" per se isn't an agenda, the "sale" still involves real people landing on one's site and sticking around to use that website's resources.

"Outsourcing" involves transferring or sharing management control and/or decision-making of a business function to an outside supplier, which involves a degree of two-way information exchange, coordination and trust between the outsourcer and its client.

Many organizations today are making the decision to outsource. In today's global marketplace outsourcing has made itself accessible to many organizations on a national and international level. Offshore outsourcing has provided many businesses with the opportunity to harvest the benefits of lower labor costs in developing countries with few workers rights laws and to exploit the value of artificially manipulated foreign currencies, where the exchange rate is intentionally undervalued. Through outsourcing, companies today have the ability to develop competitive strategies that will leverage their financial positions in the ever competitive global marketplace. Outsourcing is also successful in increasing product quality and/or substantially lowering firm and consumer costs (e.g., increases the quality to cost ratio). Because outsourcing allows for lower costs, even if quality reduces slightly, which is sometimes the case, productivity increases, which benefits the economy in the aggregate. Outsourcing can also present advantages to less developed, typically non-Western states. "Developing" countries, such as China, Philippines, and India, but also countries of Eastern Europe, benefit from the patronage of companies that outsource to them - in terms of increased wages, job prestige, education, and quality of life.

Some of the major advantages that today's organizations can expect to obtain through outsourcing include the ability to purchase intellectual capital, to focus on core competencies, to better anticipate future costs, to lower costs. Overall outsourcing is viewed by many organizations as a strong business tactic that ultimately is a superior economical approach to developing products and services.

Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node (Bjrneborn and Ingwersen, 2004). Backlinks are also called as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links.

Search engines often use the number of backlinks that a website has as one of the factors for determining that website's search engine ranking. For example, Google's PageRank algorithm uses backlinks to help determine a site's rank. To see a site's PageRank, you need to use the Google Toolbar for Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, view the bar graph indicating a website's PageRank in Google's directory, or download the PageRank plugin for Mozilla Firefox.
