Deep linking is the creation of a link that points to one of the interior pages of your web site rather than pointing to the home page.
An article submission strategy that utilizes deep linking can increase the ranking of all the pages of your web site.
Here's an example of how article submission using deep linking increases the usability of your website. Patients consult dentists for a wide range of problems. They may want dentures, implants, veneers, braces or just a filling. So the dentist is going to want his web site to contain information on all of these services. His home page will probably contain a brief overview of the practice and should direct the visitors to the interior pages that contain specific information on the services he offers. It would be beneficial to the dentist's practice if each of the services he offered were to rank high on the search engines. This result can be achieved quickly and economically through the use of several well-established optimization strategies.
Article submission is an off-page optimization strategy that has been around long enough to achieve a track record of proven effectiveness. Deep linking is built into the Web technology of HTTP and URLs by default because HTTP does not actually make a distinction between "deep" links and any other links. Combining these two proven techniques will reap a greater return on your web marketing investment.
An article that contains a "deep" link simply contains a link that takes the reader directly to the page of your website that relates to the content of the article. This type of link can quickly provide the reader with the specific solution they're seeking while increasing that page's ranking on the search engines.
Deep linked articles can be used to create a multitude of inbound links to each page of your website. A dentist can write an article about veneers. Then he can have a service publish this article on numerous article directories. Each directory allows him to include a link to his site from that directory. If he adds a tag to his usual website link he can point an interested reader directly to the veneer page of his website. If he submits his veneer article to several hundred directories, he can gain many backlinks to his veneer page. A search engine seeing many backlinks to his veneer page will consider his page more relevant and increase its' ranking for that keyword. This technique can be applied to each service the dentist offers. This will result in his website and each of its' pages ranking high across a wide range of keyword searches.
There are several things you should keep in mind in order to utilize this technique. Good design and construction enhance the effectiveness of deep linked articles. You should make sure your website is built on a web technology that supports deep linking. Your site should also be designed right from the beginning to orient visitors who may be arriving directly on one of the sites' interior pages. Each page should contain the company name or logo in the upper left corner and it should contain a one-click link to the homepage. Try to make each page "stand alone" and not depend on information contained on higher-level pages. Each page should include links to other pages that are directly relevant to the current page. Look at each page from the viewpoint that this is the first page a visitor might be seeing.
If you ask someone over to your house you wouldn't just give your visitor the street you lived on, you'd give him or her your house number too. Article submission using deep linking is like giving your house number to everyone you'd like to invite to your website.
Deep linking works because it is more likely to satisfy users' needs. And by providing this enhanced usability your website and its' pages gain in relevance and ranking.
