Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Broad, [Exact], or "Phrase"?

Random noob question that I thought of.

Thanks guys!

I'm getting spammy trackbacks/pingbacks on my Wordpress site. Should I bother deleting these or do these count as backlinks?

I've never tried it. But that gallon of milk sitting in my fridge looks rather tempting right about now

New to SEO and want to stay clean,

What are white hat incentives you can offer in exchange for links?

Giveaway for their readers? Give them helpful advice? Record video of me drinking a gallon of milk within 5 minutes?

Are sites like ReviewMe or PayPerPost white hat? Are follow links allowed within the post?

Should I use those aforementioned services, or cold contact high authority sites within my niche?

Well there's miles difference between good and great. I'd say a good 90-95% of blog posts out there (let alone guest blog posts) aren't StumbleUpon worthy - and most fall within the "good enough" range.

How long?

a.) 500 words

b.) 1000 words

c.) As many as I need to get a link

How good should it be?

a.) Digg/StumbleUpon worthy

b.) A decent article that the webmaster wouldn't mind posting.

c.) Good enough for a link

Who should you go for?

a.) Go big or go home! High authority

b.) Start small

Other thoughts and strategies?

Hi guys,

New guy to SEO and new site, need some help.

I've got a really good article (Deal Guide: How to Pay $50/mo (or nothing) for Unlimited Everything on AT&T), a few days old and it's already going viral on StumbleUpon and is getting shared on Facebook and Tweeted. My question is, now what?

What can I do to boost it's value?  I feel like I should be doing something to further push my article and build recognition for my new website.

Should I run a Facebook sponsored story and further increase "likes" and shares?

Blog/Forum commenting? I've done a little bit of this but there's so many iPhone 4s articles out there, that I don't know where to start. Should I be hitting the high PR pages? How can I find out if comments are follow/no-follow?

Any other ideas?

MozBot crawled a found a couple errors that isn't included on my sitemap plugin, such as duplicate page content on author pages.

Should I worry about things not on my sitemap?
