Does Page Load Time Matter for SEO?
Page load time is usually defined as the time it takes for a webpage to fully load in a browser showing all elements of a page. Does page load time matter for SEO? Here’s a question that has come up on my radar a few times over the last few months. In fact, Matt Cutts of Google recently spoke about it in one of his many blog videos (link below). So, with so many people wondering does the speed to load a page affect SEO, what is the answer? In short, the answer is yes, page load time does matter.
How Important is Page Load Time?
Okay, Matt Cutts affirmed that page load time is a factor in ranking a site, but how important is it when it comes to ranking in the SERPs? It’s apparent that while page load speed is collected and measured as part of Page Rank, (along with over 200 other variables). It is reasonable to suggest that this variable is a low priority or low/moderate variable – unless the speed is so slow that it affects the ability for Google to visit and collect data from your site. I personally visited plenty of web pages in many categories and went through them all keeping track of page load time. Many links on the first page were slower than pages on the second, third, fourth and fifth page of listings. In addition, I tried to take a pulse of what other SEO professionals and web developers were saying about this as well.
From watching the Matt Cutts video (link located below) and many other videos along with information regarding SEO released by Google and other search engines, the key point they try to drive into web developers and SEO/SEM professionals heads is that a quality built site that offers visitors the best web experience should be the goal when building a site. So, if your site is filled with unnecessary code, filled up with distracting media and difficult to navigate, not only will the user experience lack, but this will also be reflected in reduced rankings.

Why do you want backlinks and how to find the good one?
If Want to raise your site position ranking in search engines you probably want to get as much as link from other website. Maybe this is the only thing you have to do to have a good or great search engine position ranking.
Getting backlinks for your website and/or blog isnt easy tasks. You will need plenty of time finding high quality backlinks (At least if you want to research those backlink-ngers site for yourself.
Its a public secret that most of SEOs (search engine optimization) success key is from backlinks and even more important is plenty of one way link heading to their site or blog.
The more backlinks you can get for your blog, will raise your blog popularity by automatic and will get you a better position and ranking in search engine results page. And you can imagine when yoursite stay in the first page of popular keywords search result such as “home business” or “affiliate” keyword.
Its not just about backlinks, the more important is you have and must find backlinks from quality website and have the same theme as your site or blog.
For an example if your site is about football then you might want to exchange link with football theme or sport theme website and blog. This will raise your SERP (search engine ranking postision) and the quality of your website.
But if you exchange link with spamming site, your search engine ranking quality will get lower since spamming site does not have quality content and you will be draged with them into low quality site – which means your site is also a low quality site.
And search engine will also measure your link, how you get linked, is it in the blog content part, link exchange or known also as blogroll, or other..
If your site linked from a blog that doesnt have anything to do with keyword spamming (means high pagerank mostly) or your site linked from page without reciprocal link and has few outbound links on that page it seems that your site is relevant and most likely it will have good ranking in search engine results.
So, choose your link exchange partners or write quality content so others link to you or the other one, you could pay someone to write a review about your website or blog in their high quality blog.
