Need people's opinion on if this is good advice for link building
-
What google wants is authority, relevancy, quality and engagement. If you have an authority in your niche and place relevant content on your website plus grammar free, unique and a lot of words, and social influence via Twitter, Facebook, Google +... You shouldn't be worried about the speed of building back links.
I checked your website and it seems like an authority site. PR5, 18K backlinks plus $38K SE free traffic (according to SEMrush)... You just need a social influence to boost your authority. Create Twitter, Facebook, Google+ accounts for this website and also Facebook and Google+ pages. Then Create 30 web 2.0 accounts and on each one post three articles. Two of them are an account activation (this is what I call it), which can be just grabbed from ezinearticles and spun. Keep the links to the articles at the bottom of the pages. Once your web 2.0 sites are indexed by Google publish 800+ words quality relevant content with two links to your website. One to your root domain and one to the most relevant page your website (I mean relevant to the 800+ words article). Do this on each of those 30 web 2.0 sites.
After this blast all of the 800+ articles with all kind of backlinks. Forum profiles, blog comments, article directories... Just use Senuke and other software.
And don't forget to create a facebook fan page for each of the web 2.0 sites.
In one month, you'll see a heck of a move in rankings.
Where does the bookmarking part go? You need to bookmark every single URL you want Google to see.
And if you want to outsource it, I highly recommend you to get a full time VA who would do this for you.
Hope it helps. And your answer to your question about speed, if your site is older than 3 months don't care about the speed. Care about the quality.

And for the rest, give that advice to your competitor, right EGOL?

It doesn't make sense that the person giving this advice starts out talking about authority, relevancy, quality, and engagement, then goes straight into recommending anything but.
SEnuke is trash. Don't waste your time. It works well for what it promises to do, but you'll be getting terrible links within spun content. I also don't know why the person would recommend creating 30 web 2.0 accounts and pushing links at them. If he's trying to build authority to those sites to make the links more valuable, why the heck wouldn't you just save your time and point all those links at your own site.
The suggested strategy used to work, and still does for some niches.
Please, please, please don't do this. You've done something right so far with a decent site (according to the metrics he included, even though PR isn't much help). Don't mess it up by pointing garbage content at your site. Like Rand likes to say, take all that time you were going to spend doing this stuff, and just do something meaningful. Write a great guest post or update your site content.
I really don't want to go through the advice and pick out every little thing that's wrong (there's a lot). Hang in there bud and write some killer content.

Facebook Likes, Google +1s tactic - is this a good idea
Hello, For our eCommerce site, we're considering doing the following: When people call in to place an order by phone, we take their order and tell them while we have them on the phone that if they click the Facebook Like button and Google +1 button on our site's home page, we'll knock $3 off their total. We would just show them where the buttons are and refresh our screen to make sure the count went up by one like and one +1 when the customer said that they pressed the buttons. Then, we would continue with their phone order and just knock off $3.00 I may not do this just because it may be grey hat, but it seems 100% safe forever. If you recommend against doing this, can you think of any 100% white hat way to do the same thing? Thanks.

PinPioneer & TumbleForce good or bad?
Hello, Surfing on a black hat forum I found a link to this software: PinPioneer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1_V38W2ElPE & TumbleForce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EdGT2UNZNkU As I saw on the videos the features are great, but I don´t know if automated link building is a good idea, I would like to know your opinion, would you use this software to generate backlinks faster though Pinterest and Tumblr? Is it a good idea to use this kind of software or should I keep my hands off this? Cheers Arnold watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1_V38W2ElPE watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EdGT2UNZNkU

Google+. Good for all businesses?
Hi guys, My question/discussion is regarding Google+ and whether or not I should advocate creating an account for one of the websites I work in-house for. This particular website focuses on unlock codes for mobile phones and isn't a service that consumers would really want to connect with - which is what Google+ appears to be a vehicle for. It is a one off purchase website, and not something people will use regularly. On the face of it Google+ offers very little for a company that operates in this fashion and makes most sense for B2B businesses. I feel that by potentially creating a Google+ presence we are in fact attempting to manipulate the search rankings because it isn't a networking site that makes sense for our business and there is actually very little real reason for us to get involved with it. I don't think Google would penalise any business for getting involved in their product, but we would only be using it to benefit our ranking position. Surely that is against everything Google themselves stand for? Also, what real benefits have you guys got out of using Google+? If I am to create a presence there, this is the ammo I'll need to use to convince my manager with. Thanks a lot.

Community site for link building?
I'm considering the following in order to get users to stay on my site and make it more useful to visitors. At the minute we list live bands for hire and have a blog - that's it. I'm looking to build a sense of community where users can build a profile, chat, list their gigs, upload demos and chat in forums. Firstly I want improve the user experience and gain dedicated members but my second reason for doing so it to gain backlinks. My theory is that if the site is more useful it will gain more links. Does anyone have any info on how implementing 'community' features on a website helps with backlinks and whether this strategy works? These changes would mean my site has evolved considerably but i don't see that as a problem. My long term aim is to monetise the site through classifed ads and spot ads. Would anyone advise against adding advertising to a site and if so why?
