Category: Link Building

Chat through link building best practices and outreach techniques.


  • No, I don't know any sites you can use to get your infographic 'noticed'. However, in situations such as this, you shouldn't feel confined to this single tactic. Justin Briggs made it a point to call out at least four other options in his post on How to Build Links with Infographics. I highly recommend you read the post and pay close attention to the 'Getting Links' section toward the end of the post. Best of luck!

  • I think its okay, because you're paying for service and its pure white hat, its just like using adwords and msn at the same time.

  • A link with "KWA KWB" pointing to a page trying to rank for KWA is not going to be as strong as if it was just a link with 'KWA' as "KWA KWB" is effectively saying the page is about 'KWA+KWB' (if you appreciate the difference). If KWA was 'monitors' and KWB was 'keyboards' then a link with "KWA KWB" would be a signal that the page was about "monitor keyboards", not either monitors or keyboards. So if the page was trying to rank for both KWA and KWB you would almost certainly have to build links with just 'KWA' or 'KWB' anchor text in order to attain high rankings on either. While you need a more robust selection of anchor text in your general link profile, it would be advisable to use the power of this link with an exact match anchor link for just one of your keywords.

  • Having them under the same GoDaddy account is not a problem - as Google doesn't know they are all under one account. However, if you have the same administrative/technical contact details for them in the whois data then that is certainly something Google has access to and is checking. What JoelHit is pointing out is a list of other ways that Google might be able to make a connection between the different sites, i.e having the same GA account monitoring them all makes it fairly obvious they are 'under the same roof'.

  • Thanks Kerry.  That was my plan. To slowly build directory listings, then work up to anchor links.

  • Boy, this is a tough question because it varies from site to site, page to page, and keyword to keyword. We publish new content every day and much of it is exclusive to our site. Beyond that I focus primarily on creating content to capture long-tail traffic. To begin with, I would ask myself the following questions (which you may have already done)... What keywords are really driving your business? Have you pinpointed which keywords are most likely to lead to conversions? Make sure you are building links for the keywords that lead to revenues...not just visits. Of the keywords pinpointed in #1, what does the competitive landscape look like for each? Be sure to prioritize which keywords/pages you are working on based on a combination of potential return and level of competition. What links do your competitors have? Is there an opportunity to catch up by getting the same links? Second, there is always an opportunity to combine content generation and link building. Try to identify content other sites need or are lacking. Create that content and then reach out to let the site owner know so they can point visitors to the page. Finally, to avoid the huge time suck (or to manage it), consider scheduling link building time and content generation time throughout the week to help yourself be focused and efficient. Jot down content ideas and/or potential linking partners whenever they come up. Then on during your scheduled times, work through your list of ideas / sites. All that being said, there is no 'right' answer. Link building and content creation are both difficult tasks that take time. Which reminds me...have you considered hiring an intern to be your content writer? Just another idea... I'm pretty sure this doesn't answer your question, but I hope it helps.

  • I have used linxboss, this seems like much the same thing. This type of links do not have much PR to pass, but they do give link text diversity,a nd domain diversity

  • I have heard that a low PR page on a high PR site will gain PR quicly when linked to, and since only the first link is going to point to your site and you have 2 links to play with, why not.

  • Can you tell when the pages you got links on were last cached? You can do this manually by searching for the url and clicking the 'cached' link beside the URL. If they've not been cached then they're unlikely to show up at all in any of those tools (and after a couple of months it would be a pretty poor page if it hadn't been). If it has been cached then it's a bit up in the air as to when it'll show up in WMT (or the other checkers) and even then if it's passing it's full value straight away. If it's not cached then I would point a link at it from somewhere (not necessarily your site) just to send the spiders along to it and get it counted again.
