Article Marketing and Penguin
-
Can sites like Ezine.com and Articlebase.com still be used to create good links?
I have heard since Penguin, that article submission sites like those don't work anymore for link building.
I have a client who can't put new content on his site and will rely on link building, what is the best way to go about it??
Thanks.

His main company will only allow 4 pages on his site.
Huh? Who are these guys? They need a kick in the pants.

Kickass content on your own site. Content that will make people say WOW! and immediately share with their friends.

His main company will only allow 4 pages on his site. I am working with him to try and let him put a blog on the site. If they won't allow it, I will have to stick to off site marketing and link building.

Is the existing content on the site worth of links? Will it attract quality links? Depending on the quality of the content, you may have a tough time building links.
If you're able to tell a little about why the client can't put new/updated content on their site, we might be able to help brainstorm ways to convince the client that it needs to be done or compromises that can be worked out.

Syndicating content has BOTH Panda and Penguin risks if you don't know what you are doing.

So what would you recommend as a good link building strategy?
-
those are garbage links and treated as such by Google. best advice is tell him not to link to his homepage ever unless he feels like unwinding all those links that were created if he gets penalized.

Soliciting articles and allowing author links?
We are trying to build up article content on our website, and are looking at soliciting fresh articles from authors on various subjects, and in turn give them an author link back to their website or blog in exchange for writing the article. Our website has massive traffic so this would be a good thing for the author. My question is this: If I put a couple of anchor text links into the article, having them pointed at various pages on my site, and then allow the author to link back to his site, will I lose the link love in the anchor text? Or does it depend on the number of anchor links I have? Like 3 to 1 type ratio.

Article spinning - is it a spam or legitimate way to build SEO
I am being told by one SEO company that article spinning is the best way to achieve best rank on google. They use software that modifies articles and then submit them into lots of blogs and directories. I am worried that this is not a good long term strategy vs manually writing articles and put them into directiries

Marketing URLs - best practices
Hi, We do have a consistent url structure like http://www.company.com/productname-london
Link Building | | ecnic
http://www.company.com/productname-auckland
etc. Now marketing wants to include each URL in our yearly printed catalogue.
Out of marketing reasons (I agree with that), they think the URLs are too long and should be for example: http://www.company/london
http://www.company/auckland
etc. Our brochure is very important for direct customers and we have a target group that actively uses the internet and social media and therefore will pick up these links. Even if we do correct redirects in the background - couldn't we have the problem
that we have a double set of urls? What do you think about that?0
