Your Fitness Center Website needs as many natural back-links as you can build. Here is a list of 10 techniques to implement now.
Link building is a lot like exercise. You have to workout consistently forever, or else you do not stay FIT. Think of back-link building like a workout. And do it regularly to keep your Gym business FIT. And think of FIT as a high ranking in Google.
1) Make sure your site content is well written and gives value to your readers. When your articles are good and provide value, than other websites WANT to link to it. The Internet is all about information. If your site is full of good information you will get many natural links back to YOUR content from other sites. The search engines love to give high rankings to websites with many natural back-links to well written content.
2) Have a section on your fitness website that contains regular updates of interesting content. As a Health Club business you have so much to work with here. Healthy recipes. Fat burning workout routines. Videos on exercise techniques to do at home. Exercise news and updates. Get your staff involved with this one and let their name be the author on many different information pieces. They will write this content for FREE on there spare time just to see their name and photo as the author of each piece. It’s a WIN-WIN-WIN. You, Your Staff, Your Viewers.
3) Write press releases and distribute them online. Whenever your gym does something newsworthy write a press release. Some of these press releases might get picked up by a local magazine or News channel. But what’s amazing is the press release itself, will be found in search engine searches as an article. And of course this press article will have a link back to your gyms site.
Distribute your press releases through these online websites to get valuable back-links. PRWeb.com and PRNewswire.com
4) Write your own blog and host it on Blogger.com for FREE. A blog is a great way to talk about your fitness business and promote the expertise of your staff. Comment on local current events and just have fun with your business. And Google owns Blogger and it won’t take long before your blog gets a ranking in Google. Then you can link back to your Gyms website from your blog giving yourself valuable links. Blogs are an easy way to keep the content coming.
5) Create an Ezine article. Ezine is a very high ranked website and can display your article, with your back-links, to hundreds of Internet viewers. Just make sure the articles you send to Ezinearticle.com are unique content. Do not send them an article that is already posted on your Health Club website.
6) Register your site to free online web directories. Some very successful link building campaigns rely heavily on free online directories. So do what has proven to help other sites and add one more workout to your fitness routine.
7) Research your local competition and the big National Health Club chain websites and find out who they are linked to. Then approach these sites and offer to exchange links to each other. You can do this link research at Links/google.com
8) Make friends with other businesses in your local area and exchange links with them. Link with your dentist and offer a Teeth-Fitness special offer. Link with the local chiropractor. Share links with as many of the locals as you can. Build a lasting relationship before your competitors do. And give them a win-win reason to link to you.
9) Be sure to get a backlink from all of your business suppliers. Insist upon it for the privilege of doing business with you. All your fitness business suppliers will have a website. So get a back-link with the Company who supplies your towels. Prints your t-shirts. Repairs your gym equipment. Sells you your computers and software systems. Make a list and don’t leave anyone out.
10) Top 10 lists are a great way to generate traffic. Build top ten lists, and title tag them with your local keywords along with the top ten headline.
* Top Ten Hotel Workout rooms when you are on the road traveling.
* Top Ten most read fitness books.
* Top Ten recipes for losing weight. You get the idea.
So be sure to workout on many different types of exercise machines. Be consistent and make your Health Club website the FITTEST in town.
