Internet Marketing Tip: Improve off-page SEO by getting inbound links from highly ranked sites.

Off-page SEO, which accounts for approximately 75 of your overall search engine ranking, is based on the authority of your website. In other words, what other websites ‘say’ about yours which means that websites with better or higher authority will rank better than websites with lower authority.
