What is the best way to get unique links?
-
I do SEO for an online store that sells vacuum cleaners. I write a lot of articles for yahoo, hub pages, etc as well as promoted press releases. But I'm looking to get some more unique links. I'm looking for any tips I can get.
I've done tons of directories that have actually got a couple keywords on the front page of google but I'm looking to shy away from link directories.
I write a few articles every week.
I also try and create new social networking sites for the business.
Does anyone have any new ideas?
-
Maybe I didn't understand: but if it's a PDF, it's not html and the source is not visible–so how does that help your link? Or are people taking the info from the PDF and typing it into their site?
It sounds like a great idea, just want to understand.

Can you please share a sample PDF in what format we need to create. How other people can be interested to put our PDF on their website. Please suggest.

I found unless your infographic is really good and you push it correctly it doesn't do much for you
-
We've actually been doing some work on some Air Purifiers so I created my first infographic. You can tell it's my first time doing an infographic though.
-
Love this idea! Thanks for the help! I'll try this out.

I've actually just started emailing mom bloggers a couple days ago as well as emailing other sites that do reviews of vacuum cleaners. I'm trying to get into guest blogging but I'm not sure how.
-
Yes, We do a blog on our site to answer the questions that we hear most frequently. Lately I've been focusing on mainly on page optimization(looking for pages without meta tags and fixing, adding descriptions for all categories of products, and we add hundreds of new products every day) One thing that we offer is the parts diagrams and schematics for almost every make and model of vacuum cleaner.
-
How about writing some content about cleaning, organizing and sourcing some good mom bloggers to guest post on? Love the idea of doing an infographic too. You could probably do something pretty funny given the topic.

Going along with what EGOL has said here -- are you giving people a reason to link to your site in the way of excellent content on your website? Not just content below pictures that's for the search engines, but content for users.
- How do I find the perfect vacuum cleaner for me?
- Best vacuum cleaner types for houses with stairs.
- Best tips for using your vacuum cleaner on stairs.
- How to use your Vacuum cleaner to clean your whole house (attachments to clean things other than just your carpet)
- One simple trick that will double the life of your vacuum cleaner.
etc etc etc

Create a great guide, info-graphic , tool, or great on site contect that serves to be linked to - then contact people and let them know it exists
Guest posts contests and coupons work well as well .

My favorite one is creating a PDF of a resource for other people to use on their website. Inside the article I will have my website linked from the keyword phrase I want. They upload the document, because it's helpful, and I get a link.
Truth be told, I just started doing this, but I've had a good response so far.
Another option is trading a SEO white paper in exchange for a link.
-
You seem to be doing a lot of writing.... but is any of this going on your own website?
-
Can you give away products? Maybe target a few influential bloggers and send them a product sample for review?

Value of Links? What is each link worth?
Morning Everyone, I just had this thought and wondered what everyone's opinions were in terms of link value in monetary terms. We'll assume for the purposes of this that the links come from contextually relevant sites and that the sites in question have got the Moz DA from being high quality and have a good quality incoming link profile. Its a bit of a theoretical question, but i guess imagine if the only way you could get links was to pay for them, what would they be worth to you. This is link value for SEO purposes, they will have in addition value from traffic from good sites, that no doubt varies wildly depending on topic. I assume everyone also agrees on: The first link from a domain is the most valuable High DA sites are worth more than low ones. So could anyone who has an opinion on the link value suggest a monetary value for links. Its really just using a monetary amount to see how best to target my time. Here is my example of what might be expected, but I am hoping people with more knowledge will perhaps correct it. DA Rating First Link 2nd-5th Link 5th-10th Link 10Plus Links 5 $5 $2 $1 $0 15 $7 $3 $2 $1 25 $25 $10 $5 $2 35 $45 $20 $7 $3 45 $65 $30 $11 $4 55 $95 $45 $19 $5 65 $200 $100 $45 $6 75 $350 $120 $65 $9 85 $700 $240 $95 $15 95 $1100 $450 $200 $30

Inbound link is follow link but we put no follow link back - is it beneficial for rankings?
Dear Moz Community, We are operating in a niche market, where there are not so many content marketing options. What we are left with are link exchanging with relevant sites that are on the same topic but to not directly compete with us. Now we know that if we link back to site A and site a links back to us - for google this is not a very good link. But, some of the sites we are exchanging links with, do not know the term follow vs no follow links. My question - if your link is to site A is a no follow link but they give us a follow link - does it mean thats a better option than a follow vs follow. Thanks for help!

Unnatural Links To Your Site — Impacts Links warning, Should I do something?
Hi, I got: "Unnatural Links To Your Site — Impacts Links Google has detected a pattern of unnatural artificial, deceptive, or manipulative links pointing to pages on this site. Some links may be outside of the webmaster’s control, so for this incident we are taking targeted action on the unnatural links instead of on the site’s ranking as a whole. " I don't see any dropping at rankings, could the best solution here to be, just to leave everything as it is and be more careful with the link building in the future? Or is there a danger that Google gives further penalties if I don't act on this one do something? I am little afraid that if I start removing links, my rankings will drop, even though they have remained same if don't do anything? Any help is appreciated.

Is it worth it to link to sites that link to you in guest posts?
Suppose you published a guest post on a quality site and you link to a previous guest post you have written for another site (which links to you). In theory you could send link juice to the page that links to you for a second order effect. Has anyone seen results from this tactic?
