Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the advice, all of you. Will start interlinking and secretly build the company's death star, to be unleashed on the public at a later time.

Mike - thanks for clarifying it a little more.  At this point I would turn to data for my decision rather than theory. Check your web analytics package and see how many people are searching for the phrase "blue widgets small."  Double check again to see how many actually drive revenue.  Do they convert better than "blue widgets" searchers?  How's their engagement rate?  Etc. I am confident once you find the answer to that it'll help you make your decision on whether or not you should create a new page and allocate link building resources to it.

Hi, and thank you for your answer. I believe that from all the link building techniques this could be the fastest and safest way to build valuable links from trusted websites. I am thinking that a good decision would be to partner up with other SEO's, keep a close relationship and just do it.

Thanks James, this also helped me.

Good points from Lee. Adding on that, in general: if you get more .co.uk links, you'll be better found in the UK than in the US. If you get a lot of .com links, your findability will be less in the UK and higher in the US. Google will determine that, considering the things Lee said, you might be relevant to US searchers. And then there is the IP. A .com domain can be hosted in the UK. Adding more to your UK relevance than your US relevance. And than you have the links the .com domain receives... Same thing... So not so straight forward to answer.

spammers work on volume.  Send out a million email messages, and if 1% fall for the hype, it's cost effective.  Over time, it can be profitable due to that volume. Add in the fact that such services still tend to offer some actual results value (less and less every year), and "competing" against such companies is a seemingly monumental challenge.  It's also tempting to want to consider playing the same game. I need to emphasize how insanely complex it is for a company to play in that field and even come close to being viable for a long-term business strategy.  The rules are ALWAYS changing. And just when you think you have a model that works, all it takes is a single algorithm change to wipe out your entire model. Go ahead and play that game if you think you have the smarts to do so.  Personally, I laugh because it's a model based on completely unscrupulous tactics that are ultimately doomed to fail.  So if all you want is a money-grab and have the willingness to do so and still sleep at night, that's a choice you can make, yet it's a choice made by people I have no desire to know or do business with.  Let alone consider equals or friends or peers in this industry. Alternately, by offering superior ethical services (if you rail at the word "ethical" you can stop reading now - you're in that "no desire to know" category), and stand proud on that truth, and promote it, and laud it, you'll find enough business from companies who only want to work with such companies.

Thanks again for everything!

That's useful - thanks MJ!

Awesome, great link. That answers my question, thanks!

I definitely agree with the keeping focus on one domain - it can just be frustrating seeing low quality sites with pretty much no banklink profile ranking on the first page.

Easiest way is add url here http://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=google%20add%20url&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Faddurl%2F&ei=tpfLTtzfNIf0-gb7i_nSDg&usg=AFQjCNEAk-snUt37grGpxHVUfBBq-DPG6g&sig2=YV7PFrWKmA7ygq6R9UrJWg&cad=rjt Satellite-builders said it's work perfect) Also  there are special tools for this, if you need to add many pages at once and don't won't to type capchas.

I'd be extremely cautious when outsourcing this type of work. At lot of companies promise more than they deliver, and if they turn out to be spammy links, you might see a temporary boost, but then a few weeks/months down the road, you'll be back at square one. I'd listen to your gut.

Should be fine. If there were 10 blogs that had the exact same links and structure it may raise some suspicion. Also, if this blog has hundreds of 'thank you' links, it may be a bit fishy. But it sounds like it could be natural for the user experience, especially if they mention a bit about why they are thanking each.

If you're competing on a local basis and not looking to rise up the serps for a general keyword then you may see some traffic from people searching the Yahoo directory for a local listing, so therefore, probably go regional. If you're targetting specfic keywords and hoping this will boost your ranking, then I would probably opt for the generic category. You can also request for the site to be placed in up to 2 categories after submission here; http://add.yahoo.com/fast/change/ So, once you're in, submit the request to the category you didn't pick as well

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them.  Perhaps, my explanation wasn't the best.  I'm not planning on deceiving anyone unless you consider neutering a page as deceptive.  I could just tell them what is going on.  Plus, there has to be a link to my main page. my blog is www.ocpatentlawyer.com.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

Difficult to obtain in practice without a significant creative campaign, and overall those links are as valuable as the inbound links to those sites and pages. Being .edu or .gov inherently does not give these websites more value from a link standpoint. The fact that they are .gov and .edu draws links to them - and that is the reason why most .edu and .gov links on quality, trusted contextual pages count for alot.
