Our readers have become well aware of how important highly relevant, naturally occurring backlinks are towards a comprehensive SEO and Internet Marketing Strategy. Backlinks are votes in the eyes of Google for your website and if they are coming to the site through natural sources (not paid links or simple directory links, paid or unpaid), they make all of the difference in the world provided you have also done all of your on-site optimization as well. However, it’s also a competitive world and the information on backlinks is not secret. It becomes a horse race to get the best and the most backlinks. If you are behind your competitors how many backlinks do you need to get and what does it take to accomplish? How will you know that you will have enough backlinks to overcome the advantage your competitor presently has? If you are ahead of your competitors, how can you know what you need to do to stay ahead and extend your lead?

As an Internet Marketing Company with a strong emphasis in Search Engine Marketing, Optimum7 must know this information to be successful on behalf of our clients. Our Link Velocity Tool is a major player in our toolset and is available now free of charge at http://www.linkvelocitytool.com/. As the name implies, this tool measures your link velocity rate i.e. 10 backlinks per week. Of course, you need to start with a baseline and continually measure this statistic to generate the data because it is measure of rate of change vs. just a static data point. The tool provides you the ability to compare your link velocity vs. the link velocity of your competition. So now you know how fast your horse is going, how fast the other horses are going and therefore you will know how fast you need to go to outpace your competitors and win the race! As in life, this is a marathon and not a sprint … link velocity tool can help you run the full marathon by giving you a constant gauge as to where you are in the race and what you have to do to win the race.

Remember, backlinks don’t come from thin air; the most important or the most valuable links always start with great, non-duplicate content that is highly relevant and targeted on the keyword (s). Track your content production. The more backlinks you need to compete successfully, the more content you will need to create. You can shorten the odds greatly through high quality and highly relevant content. These simply score more points. So it follows that it is possible to have fewer backlinks and have a higher search rank because your content and resulting backlinks have more quality and relevance … and Google is all about relevance. Of course the Link Velocity Tool will be of little help if you cannot or will not make the firm commitment to content, weekly, even daily for some. If you are like us, imagine the great satisfaction you will gain from seeing your site rise in backlinks and rise competitively on the Link Velocity Tool and ultimately the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).
