Is blogger could for building links
-
Hi i would like to know if blogger through google is a good way to build links and traffic. I have started to use blogger and would like to know if i am wasting my time using it for link building and traffic building for my main site
-
To be completely honest, I'd focus on the content on your site before building links to your site. I looked at a page about virtual gastric bands and the content did not appear natural or written for the user.The page I reviewed was quite long with the same phrases repeated over and over.
It doesn't matter how many links you have to a site or how many visitors you get if the visitor gets to your site and leaves right away because the content just doesn't meet their needs.
Focus your time and energy on just one main site for your practice, and make that site the best it can be. I fear you may be losing focus and trying to do too much, and letting some things slide (such as looking at the links page, you link out to sites that are hacked or no longer in existence or are under development; I don't know if they are all your sites, but I know at least some are).

Hi, the articles on there are articles i wrote but put them onto free article sites. i put them on the blog to see how it works and then i will be writing origianl content on there.
What i am looking at is, i have noticed that google picks up blogs in there blog news or when you type in a phrase into google blogs you get a load up so i was hoping that once i can work out how to make the blog look good that i can put original content on there and at the same time have links going to my site and also traffic.
I am not sure if this is worth my time or not, or if i should just put two paragraphs of the content on the blog and then have people read the rest on my site or just leave the blogging alone.
I am trying to explore new ways to get people to my site www.clairehegarty.co.uk

The content on the blogspot site appears to be identical to content on several other sites, so it's really not doing you any good. The search engines don't want to show users the page on five different URLs, so they're going to try to just pick the one best article.
My advice is to not spend your time creating duplicate articles on a blogspot domain, but instead spend that time making sure that your main domain has quality content that is written for the user, not for the search engine.

hi as i am new to blogging i have got myself a blogger account which is here
http://gastrichypnoband.blogspot.com/
To be honest i do not like it that much as there are no nice graphics that i can put anywhere and it seems limited to what i can do
but the idea is to try and promote it, well learn how to promote it and use it for articles that will not be on my site and generate interest to my site.
any advice on the best way to drive traffic to my site using this blogger would be good.
what i want is, for people to read the articles and then go to my site
-
Usually, if you're going to the trouble of creating quality content, you want to do so on your site and on a folder on your site (rather than a subdomain) if possible.
Which has more value to your site:
A page on a brand-new blogpost page that has no initial ranking, sending a link and maybe a visitor or two to your website
or
A page on your own site that already has some ranking, which will attract the visitor to your own site.
You want to build up the ranking on the site that you own and control, not stash little bits of it everywhere with free hosting plans.
-
Yes you could,
I have mine on a subdomain, http://blog.perthseocompany.com.au/
I cant point you to one right now. but there is millions
-
so say if i had a blog on my account and i was writing lots of different blogs, could i add a link each time to my site.
do you please have an example of a blog with a website
-
Well of cause it would. if you get a link to it, you get the link juice. I think your hoster is thinking what is best for him.
This is what I would do, it may not suit you, I would get a PC and instal IIS web server(free with windows 7) on it, and host your own website and blog, the cost of the pc would soon be covered by saving on hosting costs and bother of not having direct access to your site.
Or at least get a new hoster where you have very good control.
I work on windows servers and adding a blog to your web site with IIS takes lessd than 5 minutes. there is some very cheap hosters where you can get all this functionaly for $10 a month, discount asp is one.

i like the sound of this alan, can you explain about joining a blog to my site. i did ask my hosting company about this but they said that i would be wasting my time as it would not bring me any extra juice to my site but then i have heard people say it does. would love to learn more
-
you could always pass a few links to your site, but you would need to promote your blog first so your not really getting anywhere.
What i would do is add a blog to your main site or a subdomain of your main site. you can then shape your jink juice with internal linking and any links you attract will help your main site also.

Massive Influx of Total Links - But External Links are Dropping?
Hey Moz Community, I was checking out the Links on one of my client's sites, as they were hit with spammy external links about a year ago, and noticed a large influx of Total Links to the site. According to Moz, external links have actually dropped over the last few months, so I can only assume they are internal links. But, I don't see how my client could add so many internal links over the past 5 months, as they don't do much besides upload new products (they're an ecommerce clothing retailer) via Shopify. They haven't added much over the past half year either. Total links were about 130K in Oct 2019; today, the site has almost 1 million. I've attached some screenshots for reference via Moz to better illustrate the issue. Appreciate any insights into this. Thank you in advance! hhCCUsk lyGltZD

Correct Internal Linking Strategy
Hello. So my website currently has 8 pages in total. (Homepage, 5 Service Pages, Contact, About). I currently have about 80 quality RD and my Homepage already ranks #8 for my main keyword, while all Service Pages (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5) are stuck somewhere at #30-60 positions for their target keywords. My internal linking scheme looks like this https://i.imgur.com/2cA529v.png. The Homepage has a sidebar with links to all Service Pages, and each Service Page has the same sidebar that links to each Service Page, but doesn't link back to my Homepage. Contact and About pages can be accessed only via the links in the menu. I don't have any contextual links on my website, so all pages that are important for SEO are linked only via this same very sidebar. All these Service Pages are equally valuable to me, but they don't seem to grow much in Google. The Onpage Score of these pages is better than those of TOP10 competitors, and my content provides more value (I used the Skyscraper Technique). Taking all that into consideration, can you please tell me what might be wrong? Why Should I build more quality backlinks to these service pages instead of the homepage? Should I add contextual links to all my service pages from the homepage? Does my internal linking strategy look good to you? If not, what should I change? Can I hit top #10 with my internal pages for their target keywords if I mainly build links only to my homepage? All keywords that I'm after have low to medium competition. My website has 90 RD in total, and my website's DA is 27. Thank you. 2cA529v.png

Outbound Links
I have a page on upstrap-pro.com that provides weights of cameras and lenses. The user/buyer of my on-slip camera straps needs to know the weight his camera and lens to determine the proper pad size... large to small. We have put together a long list of the most popular customer cameras. The way it was done (by my daughter) was to also provide a via a link to dpreview.com which is an excellent site for camera information including specifications etc. My personal feeling about this is mixed. I can do it by having it open dpreview.com in a new tab but then the user/customer could still get distracted and go down the rabbit hole. On the other hand dpreview is such a good site that if they are new to photography and don't know about it, they should. I don't get a dime from dpreview. If fact I doubt they would ever link back to me because they do not write about camera straps. I hear mixed things about outbound links. In this file there are quite a few outbound links to dpreview to keep it consistent. I could do a nofollow on all of them but I read that this is the easy way out. Google is jump ball and I have no clue what Cutts and his merry men are going to decide is cool or not cool. I'd like some thoughts or options... Thanks... A small part of the file below.

Links under Meta Description when performing a search
Doing research for clients, I have came across seeing sites displaying hyperlinks underneath their own meta description. keywords that I have googled that result with hyperlinks displaying under meta descriptions: Google'd: iacquire (brand) bmw wheels (Beyern Wheels, position 1) aftermarket bmw wheels (MMR Wheels, position 2) These companys have hyperlinks underneath their descriptions. Anyone have any ideas why this happens or how it happens?

Advice on Linking to an Adult Related Website
I have a question regarding whether or not Google would penalize my main website for linking to a website that has adult content. The site I am linking to is not a porn site, rather it is a site that sells web site templates for adult related stores selling sexy toys, videos, etc. For example my site that is linking to the adult related website is here: http://www.websitetemplatedesign.com/ and the link to the site is in the footer at the bottom left which is an icon. And it links to http://www.adultsextemplates.com/ Im just looking for advice as to whether or not this could be a penalty or not. I did suffer major SERP loss in the last month and Im trying to find what I am doing that may have caused this. Any advice would be appreciated.
