Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Assuming all bloggers had high authority, would that risk still apply?

Peter,

Weather realistic or not, that is the tentative goal. What I am trying to determine is if there could be a negative SEO effect from mass recurring blogging VS one-offs.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your response. These are not paid links and yes, relevant blogs from their editorial choice. What spark this idea was a blogger's interest in becoming partners and blogging about us once a month.

So if we were to somehow obtain 50 or 100 blogger partners which blog each month, would that still be consider organic?

Good day all,

I am interested in building relationships with my bloggers (i.e...people that are interested in my website and blog about it regularly).

I would also propose to them the idea of blogging about our page regularly, perhaps recurring monthly.

If the strategy is in place, could receiving links from the same bloggers each month cause any negative SEO effects?

Thanks for your input.

Hi Marie,

Can you please elaborate on what you think is a completely earned link as well as giving us some example?

I am in the same boat as azu25 - it is hard to earn links when you are starting off because no one knows you, so how do you go viral while avoiding link scheme penalties?

Other ideas I had:

1. Offering bloggers coupons that they can blog about. Their audience would be able to use the couple to buy form your store.

2. Offering free giveaways from your store. The blogger could blog about this. Could this be seeing as a "free" product form search engines??

What is your opinion on the two ideas above?

Like azu25 has stated, it seems that many domains with high authority do give away products to their bloggers, but are still ranking....it's hard to compete with 1000 monthly links.

Also, what is your opinion on building blogger relationship and asking for that blogger to blog about you once a month (recurrent blogs)?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response. I agree with you that all niche blogs should be welcome for the most part.

However, I would like to know how my page ranking would be affected if a blogger uses both regular "dofollow" links and "nofollow" links in their own blogs when blogging about my website/product. For example, if on Tuesday they post a product review with a "nofollow" attribute link and then on Friday they post again; this time their own thoughts on the company with a regular "dofollow" link? How does this affect me?

I am trying to avoid anything that may seem like a link scheme as outlined here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en

Thanks for your input and update on anchor text.

Hi all,

I have been actively pursuing bloggers for my site in order to build page rank. My website sells women undergarments that are more on the exotic end.

I noticed a large amount of prospective bloggers demand product samples. As already confirm, bloggers that are given "free" samples should use a rel=no follow attribute in their links.

Unfortunately this does not build my page rank or transfer links juice. My question is this: is it advisable for them to also blog additional posts and include dofollow links? The idea is for the blogger to use a nofollow when posting about the sample and a regular link for a secondary post at a later time.

What are you thoughts concerning this matter?
