Yes its true Google only loves you when everyone else loves you first. When Google starts to pick up activity about you in other places it puts its ears up and follows you. Its starts to think “something is happening with this site lets follow it”. When other sites link back to you and more and more places on the web start talking about you, Google then wants a piece of the action and gives you better rankings.
The clever Google bots search the web and compile information about your site. It likes it when your site has new and fresh content and loves it even more when other sites start talking about you. That’s when Google starts to actually think your site is worth something.
Its like being in school for a popularity contest. The more people that know about you the more noise and buzz the more credibility you get. If you stay quite and don’t make friends and keep to your self then no on wants to know apart from the few loyal ones.
I mean it makes sense right? if you go out about about and network with people and get to know people who in turn know other people your popularity grows. Giving out your business card or telephone is like having a link back to you. The more people who have your number the higher the chance they will call you if they need something that you have can provide them. Its the same with websites. The more sites you network with and exchange information with then in turn they will know other sites and you get linked. Then the flow of links will end up back at your site.
A website on its own is like a dead duck in water. Most people are under the false impression that once they have a website they are on they way to millions. This is not the case people! There is too much hype on the internet as it is. There are millions and millions of sites and other people who also do what you do. So how can you then get noticed?
Its all about people/websites, its a numbers game. You have to think like a net-worker who goes around connecting people and creating opportunities. But in this case you do it on the internet. Connect with sites.
