BUT…

5. Not all links are
created equal

6. Submit a positive profile or link about you that you want people to find
when they Google your name in the My Links tab.
Links rank differently in search results for a number of reasons
• How credible the domain/
site it’s associated with
• how recent it was
posted/updated
• Popularity - Views, likes,
shares, comments, etc.
• Keywords - Where does
your name appear & how
many times
!
!
Social media profiles rank well because they
are a credible site about you that can be
constantly updated
News initially ranks well b/c search engines view
them as credible & relevant but may drop in
rankings once no longer relevant
