Types of links
There are several types of links you should concern yourself with when implementing a link management program. The most common and most desirable is the one way or external inbound link. This is the type our directory service provides you with. Next are the reciprocal, internal and image links. Most all links are good and all can have a huge impact on your page rank and search results listing. The one type of link you should avoid is the paid link, the exception to this rule is paid advertisement and these should all have no follow tags.
White hat vs. Black hat
Search engine optimization SEO practices fall into two categories white hat and black hat. White hat is non deceptive uses no hidden text or layers and all links point to content relevant sites. Black hat is a deceptive method of optimization utilizing hidden text and layers, link farms and links that point to unrelated content to deceive the search engine spiders. These are links for the sake of links and this practice should be avoided at all costs. Very informative article on black hat, Wikipedia white vs black
Relevance of content
When a search engine analyses a web site it looks at several factors. The most important being content. Search engines pay particular attention to content within a website and look downstream through all links and analyse the content it finds. If a link is from or points to a non related site or document the search engine could determine the site to be in a bad neighborhood or link farm. If all your links point to content related sites or pages the link will receive favorable ratings. Content should be written for the reader and not for the search engine the general rule of thumb is if you enjoy reading it the search engines will like it too. Wikipedia article on content.
Web Directories
Web directories are an effective method of listing your site and gathering links to form the foundation of your link management program. Directories that list your site genericaly with no catagorization should be avoided. Our directories are listed by category and content ensuring a high relevance value for your links. We also provide you with an area to write a more detailed site description to improve search engine relevance analysis. We strive to provide the best website directories on the Internet.

Natural links also come from link request from competitors and related websites. Natural links have the greatest weight with search engines and have the greatest impact on the page rank of your site and usually take a lot of time to acquire.

Link and Content management programs and why you need one
Search engine optimization doesn't just happen it requires careful thought, planning and regular participation. When planning and implementing a link and content management program you should start with on site optimization. An on site blog and forum provide you with an effective method for creating content and internal links for the search engines to digest. A blog and forum not only provides you with a place to add content but also provides visitors with a place to interact with your site. The ability to interact with a website increases the likelihood that visitors will link to your site and add to your organic link count. Like,share and follow buttons should always be included on your site. Your visitors click these buttons and new links are created to your site.
While on site optimization is essential, off site or external optimization is crucial for the success of your website. The starting point for your external optimization program should be to list your site in a quality manually maintained web directory like The Link Share Group web directory service.
