Internet marketing is a cost effective marketing strategy of the day for any business. One’s business, however small it may be, can be marketed and promoted via the Internet. The prerequisite for successful conduction of such business promotion activity lies in having a website which is search engine friendly and which draws sizeable web traffic which converts to business and profits. This is the purpose of search engine optimization of a website.

It may be noted that it is the quality of the traffic that matters more than the quantity. So, getting links from the right community is more important. These links serve as ducts and canalize the appropriate kind of visitors to the site thereby enhancing its business prospects.

One of the most important features of a search engine optimization process is link popularity. This is the “off page” optimization factor. Getting links from high-ranking websites of relevant category is important. In this regard the one way links i.e. inbound links from various sites to a particular site with few/no outbound links from it are of immense value to the website. Such one-way links apparently give a truer endorsement of one’s site.

Going for reciprocal links with similar theme based websites have been gaining popularity in recent years with webmasters working for it. It can be emphasized that search engine optimization implies getting links from the proper communities. The factors using which search engines like Google, Yahoo, HotBot, AltaVista, MSN and others gauge the popularity of sites are:
· Number of inbound links
· Text used for link description
· Inbound link text

Some effective steps to bring in links from sites to one’s site and achieve search engine optimization are:
· Joining trade organizations for the purpose.
· Get one’s site listed in directories.
· Submit content-articles, FAQs, press releases etc. to sites accepting them.
· Creation of a topical directory one level above one’s category.
· Provide articles, content on relevant issues/topics and get them syndicated.
· Engage in two-way reciprocal link exchange with related/similar sites of quality.
