Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Social Media Profiles you may be able to automate, Yet forums and blogs it is very hard to automate those mediums, due to the fact people with authority sits will usually block automated comments, you really need to add a personal and unique level to these sites rather then just an automated line.

Thanks for feedback....:)

Hi Jordan... Ok...Jordan thanks for your feedback and making a great suggestion. I will now give some thought to this further and see how I can use this suggestion as well. However, I am probably not using the right name for this page, probably Resource Page is a much better word since this is what I actually provide since it is not just a worthless links page, it is actually a valuable resource page that I take out time to sort and sift through the junk from the gold nuggets. Now google's objective is provide the best possible relevant results and this is why they are the best and I can help them do that then I am actually helping them provide their users a better experience and better relevant results. And if I set up a highly tight niche resource page, with well defined categories for easy navigation and discovery of resources my audience are actually looking for or may be interested in, I just helped google provide better relevant results for the surfer and my visitor to my site. He may leave my site, but I was the one that helped him or her find what they were looking for due to a highly tight category sections I have created for my audience. Now keep in mind that I am also trying to network and create a business alliance with other business owners by what I am doing, it is not just about links and ranking for me with the resource page, if I did my job right and selected the right resource link I should get some targeted traffic from them as well as they will do from me. My mistake naming it Link Partners page -- newbie at work here So now that I have clarified what the name of the page should be, and how it should be structured into a tight categorized resource page should this not help me with that networking aspect but also with the search engines since I am providing relevant content links that the visitor is actually looking for or may be interested in. My response to you question: However, think to yourself -- when is the last time you found someones "link exchange" page and read all the way down it and clicked on a link which was just what you wanted. It hasn't happened very much for me. Was the resource page well tightly categorized and limited only to maybe 50 or tops 100 links not just all rolling down the page but with actual categories - do you think that would have got some one to click on a specific category instead and roll down maybe 10 to 20 specific links they are interested since they clicked a specific category ! Now could that badge idea still be used with what I want to do ....build a highly tight niche specific category resource section...;>) Giving some thought to this idea and how this idea can be used with what I am trying to achieve...hummm....:>) What I am nervous about at times is whether google will look at my highly tight well categorized resource section as simply a link exchange and penalize me for it, I do not believe so since I did my job to select good related categorized resources for my visitors at the same time I have also applied networking principles via my resource page.

Thanks to all ...:) James...you lost me -- are you saying that 40% should be the primary main keyword anchor text used to point to page then the other 60% is for varying the link with long tail phrases or other terms so that the remaining 60% different terms are being used to so that is does not like manipulation by SE's ? Thanks

I am also searching for same solution! I am submitting my one article in 390+ article directories list. Sometimes, it works but sometimes it does not work! I am searching for such powerful method or process which give me best result after content distribution.

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.

Will link equity accrued on blog.domain.com be transferred to domain.com/blog after reverse proxy implementation?

I totally agree with Todd that you want high-quality links from trusted sources. Your "free" traffic is going to be worthless traffic if it's traffic that you're getting from low-quality links placed by some outsourced firm that is following your instructions to get immediate traffic and not building you anything that relates to quality or relevance.

PS: 5. Would be -> do SEO for the best converting keys I do not know a tool, that predicts conversion rates. But if you see, that a competitor is doing heavy link-building on a page / key, it is very likely, that it is converting well You could try this just with Open Site Explorer here at SEOMOZ. Check the domain of a competitor -> click on "top pages". You will see the most linked to pages. Check the titles of those pages and with a high probability you will have his top converting keywords.

There's a good overview here: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/15-smart-ways-to-find-guest-posting-opportunities

Hi there, I have found that very high quality content submitted to StumbleUpon can attract a huge amount of traffic in a short period of time. The traffic will never truly dry up either: you'll continue getting traffic for months or even years after the initial push (although the number of visits won't be as high as at the beginning). Reddit.com is another place to source traffic: find the "subreddit" (section of the site) most relevant to your content and submit there. Bear in mind, however, that most Reddit users are very much against marketing, so your submission should look as natural as possible. It is advisable to take part in the communities on Reddit that deal with your topic, not to just submit articles and wait for traffic: you should become a regular contributor, commenter and submitter, and not just a submitter of your own content. Your other ideas are also good, although I doubt you will get much traffic from directories: these are going to be for link building purposes, far more than for visibility. Cheers, Jane

Hi there, I'm not familiar with Market Samari so I can only speak to Google's KW Tool. The SEOmoz tool compares the PA, DA, and other metrics of the top 10 results for your keyword and give you a score.  The Google tool is most likely looking a true search volumes and not at the actually sites in the top 10.  I get little to no value from Google's tools as it doesn't help me determine how hard it will be to rank. Once again, I feel that the SEOmoz tool is much different than the tools you mention as it compares the current 10 ten results to your site and lets you know what site has the best metrics. The tools scrapes the 10 results from the keyword you enter and calculates the score and data from that. It seems you ran it correctly and you should be able to compare your site to the top 10 results for that keyword. A thing to remember is that for Niche Keywords the data can be deceiving since there can be strong competition for keywords with low value.
