Increase Quality Score With Footer Links

by

Google is currently reviewing many new adwords campaigns, including your landing pages.

I recently added a number of “compliance” and “cover your butt” footer links of some sites of mine. One in particular was a site I use for one of my adwords campaigns. By placing these links on my site my quality score greatly increased.

If Google Adwords likes these footer links in your landing pages, you can bet that the big “G” also likes them in your webpages for the organic listings too, especially if you have affiliate offers on your site.

This is an important element to your website/blog whether you are looking for a higher ranking in the SERP’s or wanting a higher quality score for your adword campaigns.

Additionally, these pages also will protect you against any DCMA complaints, and will keep your lawyer happy icon smile Increase Quality Score With Footer Links .

Add these pages, with links in your footer for more seo and quality score power:

Not only is this a great tip, but thank you so much for sharing the content. I never would have thought of some of those links. The “about us” and “privacy policy” are no brainers, but the “dmca notice” and external links pages. We have to keep our backsides covered these day. Thanks so much.

Very useful download – just wonder if there are any plans to make it as a Wordpress plugin.

mark February 20, 2010 at 5:54 pm

I am not sure, but that certainly is a great idea.

Thanks, Mark, for the timely quality info you pass along! I’ve been wondering (I don’t have a lawyer) if I’m fulfilling all the new requirements. Di

This is great ! I have been looking for this, even thought of buying some generator that is being offered to create this type of pages. I didn’t expect to get them for free ! Thank you very much.

Hi Mark

Awesome info! Really appreciate your wisdom mate.

Quick question – do we have to worry about duplicate content (copying your same content onto our own money sites) and should these pages have ‘noindex” in the source or will that affect this working properly?

Cheers dude :-)

mark February 23, 2010 at 11:12 pm

Good question Antony. If you view my source code, you will see that I added the “rel=nofollow” attribute to each footer link. I would not worry about duplicant content, but you want to be preserving the link juice on your home page to more worthy links that you want ranking for. My adding the “nofollow” attribute, pagerank will not pass from the home page to the footer link page.

Dima March 1, 2010 at 1:57 pm

Awesome content mark. Though I believe google has officially pulled the plug on the “nofollow” attribute and now ignores it because too many people were abusing it. Or so I heard a while back…

mark March 1, 2010 at 2:31 pm

Thanks Dima. There are a lot of rumours on what Google officially does. Have you come across an official Google source on this?
