The idea that you cannot be found on the web if there are no inlinks to one’s site was recently the subject of a debate between myself and a fellow geek. My response was that one does not need ANY links to have a good ranking. This myth about inbound links (at least in my view it’s a myth) is silly.
- Between embedded tracking code for Webmaster Tools and Analytics, your site will be indexed by Google and other engines will follow.
- If you do not use tracking code then embed a video.
- If you have no embeded code whatsoever, GOOGLE WILL FIND YOU simply because your server is in a range sharing other sites.
- If you have a dedicated server and no embedded code, Google will still find you IF YOU MAKE OUTBOUND LINKS from your site!
- You have no outbound links, no embedded code and a dedicated server – Google will find you within 3 months at the longest.
Now to the idea of ranking well with no inlinks: The answer is one can rank very well without PageRank or links with keywords pointing to you. How? Simply by having the following:
- Good content
- Deep content
- Patience to get out of the sandbox.
