I’ve been posting every so often for Loren on Search Engine Journal.

Yesterday I posted about the dominance of Wikipedia.  If you don’t want to read the whole article, here are the ways you can increase the chances that someone will link to your site:

1. Keep your URLs short so they are easy to copy and paste.
2. Avoid using numbers or parameters in your URLs.  It makes people suspicious that they are affiliate links.
3. Keep garbage (like flashy ads, too many pop-ups, too much AdSense etc.) off of your site.

 Previous posts on SEJ:

• Digg, Facebook, and YouTube: Show Us the Money, detailing why social media impressions aren’t worth nearly as much as search (or SureHits!) impressions.
• Sub-prime Mortgage Woes Mean Lower CPCs? Don’t Bet On It.  I think the title pretty much says it all.
