PRACTICAL 4:- Build a Network of Partner Websites to Get Influence on the SERP and Jump up
to 30+ Positions.
Building a network of partner websites to improve Search Engine Results Page (SERP) rankings can
significantly boost your website’s visibility and authority. Here’s a strategic approach to achieve this and
potentially jump 30+ positions in rankings.
Understand the Power of Partner Websites
Partner websites are authoritative, niche-relevant sites that can link back to your site and help in mutual
SEO growth.
Backlinks: Get high-quality backlinks from authoritative sources.
Referral Traffic: More visitors from partner sites.
Trust & Credibility: Search engines recognize partnerships as a trust signal.
Leverage Niche-Specific Web 2.0 & PBNs (Private Blog Networks) Carefully
Create high-quality microsites that act as mini authority hubs.
Ensure all sites have unique content & different hosting (avoid footprints).
Use these sites to create natural backlinks to your main website.
Creating a customized Facebook Page Tab allows you to embed a custom web page, lead form, or
interactive content directly into your Facebook Page. This is great for promotions, contact forms, surveys,
special offers, or custom landing pages.
Step 1: Prerequisites
Before creating a custom Facebook Page Tab, you need:
A Facebook Business Page (not a personal profile).
A Facebook Developer Account (Register here).
A Secured Website (HTTPS) (Facebook requires SSL for embedded content).
Step 2: Create a Facebook App
Go to Facebook Developers.
Click “Create App” → Select Business as the app type.
Enter the App Name and your email. Click Create App.
Navigate to App Settings → Add Product → Select Page Tab.
Step 3: Configure the Page Tab
In the Page Tab settings, enter:
Page Tab Name: (E.g., “Exclusive Deals”)
Page Tab URL: (Your hosted webpage, must be HTTPS)
Secure Page Tab URL: (Same as above, but secured)
Click Save Changes.
Your web page should be responsive and optimized for Facebook’s iframe size (810px wide).
Step 4: Add the Page Tab to Your Facebook Page
Use this URL in your browser:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_SECURE_URL
Replace YOUR_APP_ID with your Facebook App ID.
Replace YOUR_SECURE_URL with your website’s secure URL.
Select the Facebook Page where you want to add the tab.
Click Add Page Tab, and it will appear on your Page.
Step 5: Customize the Tab Appearance (Optional)
Go to Facebook Page → Click Settings → Templates and Tabs.
Find your custom tab and click Settings → Enable it.
Click Edit Settings to change the tab name and icon.
Step 6: Test & Publish
Open your Facebook Page and verify that the tab is displaying correctly.
Ensure the embedded page loads properly within the tab.
If needed, update your iframe content for a better user experience.

Google Analytics (GA) is a powerful tool that helps track website traffic, user behavior, and conversions.
Step 1: Create a Google Analytics Account
After setup, you’ll see the "Data Streams" page. Click on "Web".
Enter your website URL and stream name. Click "Create Stream".
You’ll get a Measurement ID (e.g., G-XXXXXXXXX) and a Global Site Tag (gtag.js).

Adding "Refer-a-Friend" or "Bookmark This Page" links to your website can increase engagement and
encourage users to share your content.
A refer-a-friend link allows users to easily share your website with their friends via email or social media.
Clicking the link opens an email draft with a pre-filled subject and message.
Let users share your site on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp:
<a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Check%20this%20out!&url=[YOUR_PAGE_URL]"
target="_blank">Share on Twitter</a>
<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Check%20this%20out:%20[YOUR_PAGE_URL]"

Modern browsers have removed automatic bookmarking for security reasons, but you can guide users to bookmark
manually:
<a href="#" onclick="alert('Press Ctrl+D (Cmd+D on Mac) to bookmark this page!'); return false;">Bookmark This
Page</a>
When users click the link, a pop-up reminds them to press Ctrl+D (or Cmd+D) to bookmark.
Creating a Google My Business (GMB) listing and adding your business to Google Maps helps customers find you

Phone (Available for some businesses; instant verification).
Email (Check if this option is available).
Google Search Console (For websites already verified).
