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.

Linking to a Resource from a multi-language Page
I have a multi-language page where the content is available in several versions (translated). I want to link to a resource that is only available in one English. Is it a good idea to link to this resource from all language versions or should I better include the link only in the English version of my page? In the first scenario for example a Spanisch and a German language version would link to a page in English. Is this ok or could it be considered spam?

GWT shows 38 external links from 8 domains to this PDF - But it shows no links and no authority in OSE
Hi All, I found one other discussion about the subject of PDFs and passing of PageRank here: http://moz.com/community/q/will-a-pdf-pass-pagerank But this thread didn't answer my question so am posting it here. This PDF: http://www.ccisolutions.com/jsp/pdf/YAM-EMX_SERIES.PDF is reported by GWT to have 38 links coming from 8 unique domains. I checked the domains and some of them are high-quality relevant sites. Here's the list: Domains and Number of Links

freedocument.net 1 However, when I plug the URL for this PDF into OSE, it reports no links and a Page Authority if only "1". This is not a new page. This is a really old page. In addition to that, when I check the PageRank of this URL, the PageRank is "nil" - not even "0" - I'm currently working on adding links back to our main site from within our PDFs, but I'm not sure how worthwhile this is if the PDFs aren't being allocated any authority from the pages already linking to them. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Thanks all!0 -
Someone is building anchor text links with child porn keywords..help :-(
Hey Everyone; I recently found that there are tons of links to my url (30+) from several sites with the anchor text "download child porn, kiddie porn, and the likes". Although the sites linking to us where the person built the links do not have this content (thank god) it is just my url + the horrible anchor text someone is putting. [added image] Obviously I would not do that to my own site especially since I was ranked for over 15 keywords in the top 5 spots on Google and Bing. I am guessing its a competitor and I am wondering that is there any way I can remove them? Is this negative seo? Also could this be the reason my site has dropped off google page 1 last month for all my positions? I am consistently trying to rebuild but my positions are flying all over the place. Im going from ranking #12 one week to #198 the next; then to #60 and finally not even on google or bing anymore; then back to #50, etc for the past month and a half... Its very aggravating and it has hurt a few of my websites; im at a total loss on how to recover now if this is the case...It seems they have started to build these links in January from what I can find on the postings.. Thank you SEOMOZ im so happy im a member now. Any suggestions on how i can get these links off or if it is why my site has lost its original rankings.. Should I just can my website and start all over with a different URL? How can I watch out for this in the future? Any help would be so so so greatly appreciated and valued 🙂 xpVjMw8

Linking out to authoritive sites from my ecommerce site
Good afternoon SEOmoz community. I was looking for a specific answer or advice or opinion about linking out to other sites. My Site www.tacticalbootstore.com has been undergoing a complete content rewrite. In the process we have been told and read where it can be good to link out to other authoritive sites. One of the pages we have rewritten is here. http://www.tacticalbootstore.com/belleville-boots-sizing-chart-a-97.html We have not added the graphics yet as they are being built now. This is just an informational page about sizing of a particular manufacturers boots. Once you get to the bottom of the text we have added a link to the actual manufacturers page. Is this helpful for us in the SERPS or not? Thank you for your time. Chris

How much effect does number of outbound links have on link juice?
I am interested in your thoughts on the effect of number of outbound links (obls) on link juice passed? ie If a page linking to you has a high number of obls, how do you compute the effect of these obls and relative negative effect on linkjuice. In the event that there are three sites on which you have been offered the opportunity of a link Site A PA 30 DA50 Obls on page 10 Site B PA 40 DA50 Obls on page 15 Site C PA 50 DA50 Obls on page 20 How would you appraise each of these prospective page links (ignoring anchor text, relevancy, etc which will be constant) Is there a rule of thumb on how to compare the linkjuice passed from a site relative to its PA and the number of obls? Is it as simple as page with 10 obls passes 10x juice of page with 100 obls?
