What is an Inbound Link?
Hi All,
Want to grow more traffic for your website? There are several different types of links available.
Links can be differentiated into three categories. They are inbound links, outbound links, and internal links.
In this article, we look into inbound links and also find why we need them.
What are Inbound Links?
An inbound link is a link that comes from a website to your website. Here the inbound refers to incoming links to your website.
For example, this is an inbound link to our e-commerce website.
Outbound links are links from your website to other websites. The link to URSify website that we talked about earlier is an outbound link on the LinkedIn page.
Internal links are links that link to another page of a certain website. Internal links navigate within the same website.
Why Do We Need Inbound Links?
SEO:
Inbound links to your website improve your site's authority and thereby increases search engine rankings. Search engines improve your website's ranking, when you have the most number of inbound links. Hence, search engine result page brings your site on top of their list.
Referred Traffic:
If anybody posts an inbound link on their website, those people who view that link may click it, and you will be benefited from that referral traffic. For example, many of you who clicked the link to URSify website above may not have visited the site before.
Good Inbound Link:
A good inbound link:
Uses proper anchor text
Comes from authoritative website
An anchor text may refer to what the name we mention for our links. For example, Google. (Here the anchor text is Google.) Good inbound links not only have just anchor text but also contains natural anchor text.
Sites may contain optimized anchor text in articles or other posts. For example: When it comes to starting an online store, you will be searching for an online store provider.
Google understands the real purpose of generic links, hence links such as "learn more", "click here" can be taken as valuable optimized anchor text.

Be Selective on choosing in social networks
Choose social networks that best fits your business brand.
Spend time on resources
Never worry about spending time on your resources. This will give you a good idea to select on your social networks. Avoid publishing your posts on all social networks, but start on the following sites:

- Fix your company name simply by creating accounts and URLs inside social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, and Pinterest. This protects your brand name and helps you grow your business across other networks slowly.
- Do a regular posting on any one of the best social networks that suits your business type.
Complete your social media profiles fully
If you want your company or its product to gain more trust from public then you should concentrate on completing every single data of your social media profile fully. Completing your social media profiles also improves credibility among search engines against your competitors.
Social Media Linking
Feel your business content to be shared by everyone by linking them to your site from all social media networks. Never miss your friend on reaching your brand through all social networks.
Improve customer familiarity on your social media URLs
You can make your brand reach more easily to your audience, by simply customizing all your social media URLs in a manner that can be easily understood by your customers.
Brand consistency

How to Write Sellable Product Descriptions
Hi All,
It’s an easy mistake.
Even professional copywriters make it sometimes: Writing product descriptions that simply describe your products.
Why is it wrong? Because product descriptions need to sell your products.
Let’s have a look at some simple ways to persuade your web visitors with product descriptions that sell.
1. Focus on Your Ideal Buyer
When you write a product description with a huge crowd of buyers in mind, your descriptions become wishy-washy and you end up addressing no one at all.
The best product descriptions address your ideal buyer directly and personally. You ask and answer questions as if you’re having a conversation with them. You choose the words your ideal buyer uses. You use the word you.
When it comes to writing your own product descriptions, start by imagining your ideal buyer. What kind of humor does he or she appreciate (if any)? What words does he use? What words does he hate? Is he okay with words like sucky and crappy? What questions does he ask that you should answer?
Consider how you would speak to your ideal buyer if you were selling your product in a store, face-to-face. Now try and incorporate that language into your website so you can have a similar conversation online that resonates more deeply.
2. Entice with Benefits
When we sell our own products, we get excited about features and specifications. We live and breathe our company, our website, and our products.
The problem is our potential buyers are not as interested in mundane features and specs - they want to know what’s in it for them. That’s why you need to highlight the benefits of each feature.
Consider the benefit of each of your features. How does your product make your customers feel happier, healthier, or more productive? Which problems, glitches, and hassle does your product help solve?
Don’t sell just a product, sell an experience.
3. Avoid Yeah, Yeah Phrases
When we’re stuck for words and don’t know what else to add to our product description, we often add something bland like "excellent product quality".
That’s a yeah, yeah phrase. As soon as a potential buyer reads excellent product quality he thinks, yeah, yeah, of course; that’s what everyone says. Ever heard someone describe their product quality as average, not-so-good, or even bad?
You become less persuasive when your potential buyer reads your product description and starts saying yeah, yeah to themselves. Describe each technical detail plus its benefit.
Product details add credibility. Product details sell your product. You can never include too many technical details in your product descriptions. Be specific.
4. Justify Using Superlatives
Superlatives sound insincere unless you clearly prove why your product is the best, the easiest, or the most advanced.
Amazon explains why the Paperwhite is the world’s most advanced e-reader:

The word patented gives the reader the impression that this is something special. Amazon goes on to quote several percentages to show why the Paperwhite has better contrast and brilliant resolution; and it provides a killer benefit: Even in bright sunlight, Paperwhite delivers clear, crisp text and images with no glare.
If your product is really the best, provide specific proof why this is the case. Otherwise, tone your copy down or quote a customer who says your product is the most wonderful they’ve ever used.
5. Appeal to Your Readers’ Imagination
Scientific research has proven that if people hold a product in their hands, their desire to own it increases.
You’re selling online, so your web visitors can’t hold your products. Large, crystal clear pictures or videos can help, but there’s also a copywriting trick to increase desire: let your reader imagine what it would be like to own your product.
To practice this copywriting technique start a sentence with the word imagine, and finish your sentence (or paragraph) by explaining how your reader will feel when owning and using your product.
6. Cut Through Rational Barriers With Mini-Stories
Including mini-stories in your product descriptions lowers rational barriers against persuasion techniques. In other words, we forget we’re being sold to.
When it comes to telling a story about your products, ask yourself:
- Who is making the product?
- What inspired creating the product?
- What obstacles did you need to overcome to develop the product?
- How was the product tested?
7. Seduce with Sensory Words
Restaurants have known it for a long time: sensory words increase sales because they engage more brain processing power.
Adjectives are tricky words. Often they don’t add meaning to your sentences, and you’re better off deleting them. However, sensory adjectives are power words because they make your reader experience your copy while reading.
Dazzle your readers with vivid product descriptions. Think about words like velvety, smooth, crisp, and bright.
8. Tempt with Social Proof
When your web visitors are unsure about which product to purchase, they look for suggestions what to buy. They’re often swayed to buy a product with the highest number of positive reviews. But there are other ways to sneak social proof into your product descriptions.
Including an image of a person adds credibility to a quote; it also makes an online company more personal and approachable encouraging customers to call to get answers to their queries.
Most buyers are attracted to buying something that's popular. When it comes to your website, highlight the products that are customer favorites.
