It is well-established fact that links play a crucial role in elevating the status of your site as the search engines seek the links to rank you higher. The more important point is to keep control on developing links of one type only. It harms your sites instead of benefiting them.

Following are the most popular varieties of links that call for this constraint to be observed:

Authority links: You can apply with the best ranked sites that might be offering out-links. They are benefited by taking the traffic to your site. But these high-ranked sites may check the quality of your content in order to assure they refer their visitors to some valuable content. You need to maintain high-quality content to pass in this test of the high-ranked websites. But in any case these links should not be broadly over 10 percent of all your links.

Directory links: These links demand from you to fetch some penny. Start with the directories that are easily accessible and submit to a few directories at a regular interval. But don’t again go overboard. If you have a good number of links from your site that lead to any of your own sites, it is not liked by some directories. You can get filtered out.

Reciprocal links:These links can also be termed as mutual links. You have to have friendly websites that may respond to your ‘respect’ message. Links of this sort come from the site, to which the links on your site take to.

As is evident from the above illustration, it is beneficial in multiple ways that you don’t go overboard in building links of any one type. Keep them scattered over all the different types of links.
