Use google search to find alternative keywords for your link building

Not many people use a google search trick called  the tilde operator . The  Google's tilde (~) operator. is a great way to find synonyms or alternative keywords and  synonyms to use for back linking 

The tilde tells Google to "search for pages that are synonyms or similar to the term that follows." ,

Do a search with the tilde  to find alternative keywords and use that a s alternative  keywords for your back linking campaign, this can result in lot of traffic from long tail keywords  or unknown keywords that bring you new traffic

Find alternative keywords and synonyms

When combined with other operators, such as the negative (-), this gives you a powerful keyword research tool. In the example above, the search query "~cheap gadgets –cheap gadgets" returns "affordable gadgtes", " awesome gadgets," “used gadgets” and "old gadgets." All are  alternative keywords for your target keyword and quite relevant to the target  aussie  search market  for which google.com.au has been used in this instance. Synonyms  can also  be found using this method.

 

Anchor text linking the right way

Better, more appropriate partial match anchors might include:

• “… meet Sheldon Singh, an experienced tech blogger writing for techradar  and gadget  australia a recognised technology website.
• "....the group of SEO Masters known best for their work  in the SEO industry.
• "...says he's leaving his firm after a disagreement with his partners due to this you tube video.
• Company and branded names  -  These make great links when called up. People can link to TransparentSEO, Julia Gillards Circus-De-soleil, or Jumping JooJoobees all day long!

Add a bit of  generic links

• “Visit website”
• “Read more”
• “Useful site”
• And, of course, “click herE

And a most important point in linking is  watch your lick ratio, never keep your main keyword density or ratio more than 50% , be safe and always  have other keywords like brand keywords , generic keyworeds and  long tail keywords , synonms  etc  to fill out  the rest of  50% to 60% of the balance of keyword linking density
