Back Linking, a creative SEO strategy

One of the most popular SEO strategies to improve a website’s ranking is called back linking. As you all know that back linking is the process of getting incoming links to your website. This technique helps you in generating not only quality traffic for your website but also aids in link popularity and search engine rankings. Relevant back links from websites with the same theme actually direct search engines to increase the page rank. A higher page rank results in better search engine indexing. You can have one way links, two way links and three way links that can help in improving your search result visibility on search engines.

Let us think of a search engine crawler. When the crawler starts crawling a website and reaches a third party link, it evaluates the theme of the landing page and compares it with the source page. If both of the themes match, the landing page is also given a good page rank relative to the incoming link’s page rank. If you are getting a back link from a high PR website, the chances of getting a high PR for your own page maximise.

You can post links either through giving some anchor text or writing the web address of your page. If you give some text then it is called back link anchor text. Your anchor text can contain a set of keywords or a combination of different keywords which are relevant to your landing page’s text. Suppose that your landing page is about web development or something related to it, you can simply use a keyword, related to web development, as anchor text. When it comes to selecting keywords for using as anchor text, you should perform a comprehensive competitor analysis to figure out the best suitable keywords for your back linking.

Another important thing is he use of alternate deep linking and home page texts. These alternate texts are used as deep linking and hoe page linking of your website. If you are a lot into back linking then two way link exchanges and three way link exchanges can also be a good technique. In short the number of redundant links and their relevancy can really create an impact on your website’s traffic.

Different methods of resizing text on the web

There has been a lot of discussion among the web designers to flexibly control the size of the text on the internet. You must all be aware of a well known problem with the internet explorer. The problem lies with the resizing of the text which you cannot perform no matter how much you try to zoom in or zoom out your text. Here we will take a look at the three common methods of displaying text on the web pages.

Pixels

Pixels are the most ancient method of defining font sizes on the internet. You can define the height and size of the font in pixels

<p font size=16px> </p >

The above mentioned example changes the font size to 16 pixels for the standard text and 14 points for the sidebar. You can easily change your font size using this example but the problem starts when you try to resize your window or zoom in or zoom out on the text. To overcome that problem, percentage based or ems based scaling is used.

Percentage
The % sign gives you the flexibility to define a font related to the page size. This gives you the option of displaying font on pages of varied size and resized pages. When font size is defined in percentage, it gives you freedom from page size. Your font will be automatically adjustable with the visitor's screen. Here is the method to use %age in fonts over web pages.

<p font size=10%> </p>

In order to give accurate referencing of font size, you cab use EMS.

EMS

EMS s the best method of defining font sizes. It takes into consideration the relavent size of the visitor's base font and the target font to calculate the actual font size. EMS is used widely in CSS, grids and liquid designs. This method allows you to accurately define your font size while getting freedom from the page size, browser type and device type.

EMS is calculated by the following formula

EMS = Target Font ÷ Base Font

Lets us assume that base font is 14 for the target browser and your desired font is 24 then
EMS = 24 ÷ 14 = 1.714
Yopu can round it to 1.7 and the browser will automatically adjust to the nearet possible font size.


<p font size=1.71em> </p>

As shown in the above example, the size of the font will automatically adjust itself with the relevant screen size and thus will not look bad.
