About The Author
Hi friends, my name is Alok Vats, and I am the owner of this website I News India. From last six years I am trying to build this website, I started this website from scratch and then with the help of my friends like Pooja, Prachi, and Divya I published many articles over here. Recently Harshita, Tanmay and Aayushi too joined my website, and am really glad to share some articles written by them over here. I am sure many of you would love the same.
These days I am managing the site with myself only and the focus is to share blogs on the topics like Blogging Tips, Self Improvement, SEO, and all other things which can make you to enhance your life.
This is an interesting topic Alok. I agree, quality links do make a lot of impact. Few days ago, I tried guest posting and ended up giving a lot more links than necessary. The Alexa took a hit and I am trying to recover from it yet.
As for the submission to the directories, how does one do it? And what would be the recommended directories one can submit at?
One second Vinay, you mean to say that your Alexa rank increased or decreased? Plus I can say you one thing, placing more links on a guest blog will actually not do anything with your Alexa Rank.
Hmm, good question, I would prefer to come up with yet another blog on this topic. I guess I have received a good numbers of suggestions on blog topics now. Today I am planning to write on Independence day, and tomorrow I already have scheduled something, so I guess I can be able to come up with all these blogs in next week only.
Alexa rank has increased from 175 to 190 now.. I did give a lot of links to my site through guest blogging as a result of which traffic increased but the rank suffered.
That’s pretty cool, I will be very eager about these posts. That would be something I can work on right away π
Forget about Alexa Rank Vinay. I will discuss about it in person, I doubt it has any connection with what you are saying.
Though I read all articles of Shri Alokji fully, but this article I found so interesting that I read it twice. Really, an excellent article offering valuable guidelines.
Thank you so much Sampat Kumari jee, I am glad that you liked this post so much. I am really delighted.
Oh.. Oki oki, cool, that sounds even better π
Thank you so much Vinay π
Very useful post for me who is novice with SEO.
A very helpful post for someone like me who is a novice in the world of SEO..
I am really glad Manjulika that you liked this blog post of mine. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion with us. π
Back to the student mode and loving it! Please share a bit about Google Penguin and a bit about Guest blogging to this Technologically Retarded Being. π
Thank you so much Datta. Actually I already did shared on those topics. I will share the link on Penguin update and guest blogging topics with you over here. BTW I wrote a book on guest blogging only, you can search flipkart for either Alok Vats or Guest Blogging and can see it.
Hi Datta,

Do let me know your comments on these posts…
As a blogging newbie, I always find your articles simple and easy to understand. You never clutter your post with jargon but concentrate on explaining things in detail. π
Thank you so much Khushboo. Your comment and the appreciation truly means a lot to me, and it further inspire me too. Thank you so much π
Another article with valuable tips for us… π
Thank you so much Maniparna, I am glad that you liked it. Hope my tips don’t bore you π You actually appreciate my blogs and hence I always come up with something for you all π
Alok, you’re pretty good at SEO & article marketing. I guess, it’d be better to display infographics at blog post instead of simple pics to increase its probability of getting shared on social media platforms. What do you think?
PS- For this type of articles, I seriously need a guideline for commenting. It’s very brainstorming….. π
Thank you so much Ravish, you are absolutely right, but then it’s not 100% true, a good quality picture can also make your post more shareable.
It is like I become dumb while commenting on poetry π
Great tip on link building for optimisation of seo. I understand very little on this topic, more such article will benefit me.
Thank you so much Deep for sharing your comment over here, I will definitely try to come up with more blogs on link building π
Well you are right about building links and this list includes almost everything. But along with that a webmaster or a blogger must also have the knowledge of the Disavow tool provided in the Google Webmaster Tools.
Along with that I wanna add something to this article, I think you should also add the tools to find out how much backlinks we are having such as ahref and opensiteexplorer.
But anyways it was a nice post and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Rohit about these information’s which I missed on this post. You are absolutely right about Disavow Links Tool, I guess these two blogs can be relevant for this:
https://www.inewsindia.com/2014/07/21/how-to-recover-your-website-from-google-penalty/
http://www.techacid.com/2014/01/20/how-to-deal-with-negative-seo/
As far as getting information about backlinks are concerned, obviously ahref is the best one, opensiteexplorer and Google Webmaster Tools Data can also give you a fair idea about the backlinks of your website or blog.
