Much time and effort can be spent improving a website's search engine rank, with the majority of tasks being large jobs that can take days or even weeks to accomplish depending on the nature and size of the website in question. While performing this larger tasks, you should not neglect to perform those smaller tasks that can yield massive results and improve a site's ranking dramatically. These 'hour a day' tasks focus on 'off the page' factors and the creation of inbound links that generate traffic. Contacting other websites and requesting a link back to your site is one particularly useful option. Generally, you give something in return, which can be creating a link on your site pointing to theirs or some other form of payback. While swapping links can be useful, it is good to know that doing it too much (or doing it with a site infamous for the use of reciprocal links) can have a negative effect. Thanks to spammers utilizing this method in the late '90s and early 2000s, search engines today may penalize a website by lowering its page rank if it determines that the website in question is swapping links with other sites too much, and any site that is linking to them may fall with them. For the most part, it is easy to spot a potential problematic site, and there should not be a problem for you as long as you pay attention. You should know that receiving inbound links from sites related to your field of business or study can be worth much more than others. This is due to search engines viewing such links as a 'vote of confidence' from individuals who would know, and these engines will likely raise your page rank much faster. Getting your site listed in directories is a good way of generating some traffic and increasing your search engine rank, and there are directories focused on every topic imaginable. These, along with the more board directories that host a variety of sites, give you plenty of options for generating inbound links. As with most services on the web, there are directories that will host a link free of charge while others require payment. Inbound links from blog posts is also worth the time and energy to solicit them, as these have great potential benefits. As with the website linking above, receiving inbound links from blogs related to the same field of business or study as your website can yield greater results. These tasks can fit into almost any schedule, and the potential benefits of such tasks are worth the hour a day you can spend performing them. Not only are such tasks an efficient use of time and money, but the continuing positive results can be an encouragement to yourself and keep you in positive standing with management, as increasing website traffic is what your boss is paying you for in the first place.
