A contextual link is an SEO tool which points to your site and targets a specific keyword phrase in its anchor text. It can be thought of as combining the two SEO powerhouses of content and linking. Following are some top contextual link building tips. If it seems like too much at once, just remember that you don't have to try it all now. The experts recommend building your back links slowly, so do a little at a time.

Perform an internet search to find a good page ranking tool. Experiment until you find one that you're comfortable using. It would be a good idea to check page ranks and get as many links as possible from pages with a high-ranking.

Determine the keyword phrase that will provide the context for your link. The web content of the linked site should focus on the same thing that is indicated by the keyword phrase. If they don't agree, then there is no context and the page ranking won't help you as much.

Don't focus on just the top page. When linking to the desired website, consider using deep links to specific pages. Most users aren't just looking for home pages. They are looking for specific information. Links to pages that contain useful information will get more pages in your site ranked and helps with overall ranking.

Submit articles with links in them. Article content should flow logically and be easy to read. It should also be at least somewhat informative. If you're not confident with your writing, consider hiring a freelancer for a quick article. It might be a good idea to bargain a little for multiple articles.

Spend some quality time with popular bookmarking and social media websites such as Twitter and Stumble. Some will provide the opportunity to get context oriented links for desired websites. Just remember not to get carried away and build too many links too fast.

Find a handful of relevant forums with good page ranking. Include a context relevant link in your signature, then interject a thoughtful opinion there once in a while. Also appreciated are things like interesting mini essays or lists of favorites.

Try issuing a press release. Care should be taken to make sure it's as newsy as it can be so many networks will pass it along. Networks like news, but tend to shy away from blatant advertisements. In exchange for taking the sales talk out and focusing on the news angle, there will be a place to share the website's information.

Do a search using your targeted keywords and notice the top fifty results. Contact the webmasters and offer to buy a backlink from as many as possible. If their page ranking is high enough, it can be worth the expense.

If there's not enough time in the day for all that, try outsourcing the task to a company that specializes in SEO. They will perform the analysis and find relevant places to link back to the desired website. Some will even provide the link as part of the service.
