      If I use unique content written from writers & post it to good sites (free blogs, bookmarking, directory, articles sites, etc.) having nice good cache, good PR, different IP's do i still have a chance of get hit by Spam actions of google? Planning to do like just 30-50 a month all with unique content or say 1 unique content then re-written & used not more than 3 times. If not this then What else would you suggest?

      One more thing to add up, like i have 1000+ pages out of which i have like 80-90 pages that matters to me (important pages) then how do I spin the anchor text between all the pages. Should i spin them between 1000+ pages or use only 80-90 IMP pages. If the content is 300 words let say then how many anchor tags should i have?

        Hey big fella

        Have a watch of the below WBF

        https://moz.com/blog/why-good-unique-content-needs-to-die-whiteboard-friday

        I think it may assist you in formatting a good methodology for the content creation. You have a heading of link building strategy and then talk about content creating - though related there are many ways to obtain links without content.

        On what you say about content, I am not clear on the "re-written" part. Once you have created unique content - it cant be re-used or re-written. That sounds like you are heading for the penalty box. Perhaps watch the WBF and then clarify?

        Anyway ask away, hope we can help.

          Yes, i want to know about link building strategy. Like say a 500 word content for link building & spinning it 3 times & then using it for link building on social bookmarking sites, directory sites, etc. Will this be a good idea?

            "Spin - Free Blogs - Bookmarking - Directories - Article Sites - 30-50 articles per month..."

            ...do i still have a chance of get hit by Spam actions of Google?

            There is absolutely no doubt about this. Everything you have said there is absolutely what should should NOT do when link building.

            Link building needs to be handled carefully. You need to think about how you can invite links to your site, or produce content so good, that outreach will be met by authors who are happy to run with a link through to what you have produced.

            Think about what you have to offer as a linkable asset. If you have nothing, then you must create something.

            Amazing links will come from amazing content.

            say a 500 word content for link building & spinning it 3 times & then using it for link building on social bookmarking sites, directory sites, etc. Will this be a good idea?

            Absolutely not.

              Yeah these tactics might have worked in the past but you are essentially asking Google for a penalty by doing them now. Remember links should always be natural which is the exact opposite of what you have talked about.

                If the content is original on each platform like say i post a content with 2 links on wordpress free blog, then 10-12 social bookmarking sites. Always keeping the content original & well written. Will it still not be beneficial for rankings?

                  How should I start with link building then? Even if I keep content original with every link. Will it still won't work?

                    You are looking at links from the wrong way now.

                    Have a read of this article in MOZ as it is a great starter resource.
