Is this going to help for Linkbuilding
-
I am not able to do link building from like minded websites. Hence I am planning to go for following approach :
By creating links to my website on blogspots (using comments).
Participating in question / answer forum on the websites meant for r asking questions for different categories.
Writing articles on good ranking websites and creating links.
Participating in Social media websitesPlease let me know if this will help me. Any other possible way apart from these?

Matt Williamson has some really good points in his comment. I'm going to focus more on those potentially spammy link tactics.
I would only suggest using blog comments and profiles on forums that meet the following criteria:
- The site is somehow related to your niche, product, service, etc.
- You are there to add value to an already created discussion.
- You are there for the long haul.
- The site you're participating on isn't anything shady or illegal.
The biggest thing to remember is, wherever you spend time building links, you better be building value too. Any link that was created 'for the link" and not because you are genuinely adding meaningful content/conversation will be looked upon as low quality, even spammy in some cases.
You don't want to create a negative image of your brand to the eyes of users, likewise for search engines.

I would stay away from the tactic of creating spammy blog comments and forum links to your website. Guest blogging and building social relationships with authority figures is always a good tactic to start gaining decent links to your site. I would also consider other ideas such as content curation for your site - there is an excellent article on this in this weeks SEOMoz blog. I would also think about ways in which you could possibly create some sort of viral campaign - maybe a video that could help you gain brand recognition and exposure thus leading to links. I don't know what your site is but have you thought about creating your own blog and encouraging others to produce guest posts for it - invite other to post with outreach emails/letters? Building those relationships with social influencers can a good way to gain guest posts. Hope this helps!

Exact Domain Match does it help or distract?
Does owning / buying an exact domain match help or not necessary? For example our main website ranks for nearly 14,800 Keywords but one KW we are trying to get in the top spot for we are currently at the bottom of page #1. We do see an exact domain match available so we purchased it but i don't know if it would actually help us or distract us. I was thinking we could create an article about the keyword on that exact domain then do some on page seo and back linking. But would that be more of a distraction VS. just focusing on getting more high quality back links to the main website we have ranked on Page 1 at the bottom? Any ideas or benefits to use an exact domain match to help boost also?

Dodgy linkbuilding tactic?
Hello I'm hoping someone can help...does the below link building tactic sound a bit suspect... An editorial link (articles are subject to review) on a relevant, good authority site, however, it's free to submit an article and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of engagement/comments. Here's the site in question if that helps! http://www.health-host.co.uk/ Thanks for any help you can offer. Alice

Linkbuilding in Latin America
I've started a magazine in Latin America about creative ways of making money, working from home, learning technical skills from home. We are not that spammy like other "make money" magazines, but of course we want to sell information products in the future. So far we are 3 people. I already have years of SEO experience but I built blog networks of expired domains and ranked for specific keywords. In this case I need more Brand backlinks and get Domain Authority. Unfortunately we failed pretty hard so far. What we tried: 1.) We searched for 2 infographic linkbaits that were very successful in the US, redesigned them, used similar content and reached out to around 60 websites. We offered them that we write a guest post made for their website from a professional journalist and embedding our infographic. From the 60 websites and no deal. The graphics costed us around 400$ to create. 2.) We tried to interview people (in the hope that they will link back to us from their website after the interview). Unfortunately from around 120 e-mails only two responded - only one linked back to us. We contacted them through the contact forms of their websites. 3.) We offered money for a blog post. After 2 hours of reaching out, we got 6 backlinks for an average of 40$ per link + time. Is the whole blogging culture only existing in Anglistic countries? It seems to me that people only link out to big brands (who started offline) or they charge money. The websites that rank for terms like "make money" (ganar dinero) have only paid- and spam backlinks. A few exceptions by people who had contacts to journalists of big magazines. What's my strategy?

Is there enough national traffic to go after for this niche
Hello, For bobweikel.com my niche is hypnosis and weight loss. Most of the traffic is for local terms. Would you consider it useful to go after national traffic in an effort to gain phone clients (long distance) or do you think too many of the terms are going to be served up locally. The local traffic in my area for hypnosis, weight loss, and hypnosis & weight loss are real slow. Looking for strategies (including content strategies) to bring in national clients. Thanks.

Help with blog for linkbuilding location.
I work for a company that has www.widget.com. This is the site we do all our business under. Right now there is no linkbuilding so I would like to create a blog to start linkbuilding. We also own www.widget.info. Can I run the blog under .info and still get the credit on the .com or are they considered completely separate entities that have nothing to do with one another? The reason I would prefer it on the .info is it gives me complete control. By putting it on out .com I have to talk to the developers to install wordpress and mysql, when I would much rather just be able to do it on my own. Any ideas?
