Is buying blog reviews a good idea?
-
Hi there,
I was wondering if it's worth investing on buying blog reviews for me site, by using sites like buyblogreviews.com?
I've been making sure the blog sites are relevant and has good rankings, and not too many outgoing links. I also make sure they write about something interesting related to my site, that should get people's attention and gain more traffic.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Cameron,
If you can obtain those links and have it appear natural on quality relevant sites, it is as good as a guest post. Just be careful and choose wisely. It works, no matter what anyone tells you. Let's be honest here.

I would essentially recommend you to take your keywords, and see who is ranking better then you for your keywords. Look at their backlinks and try to get links from those kinds of sites. It has to be a little bit of everything:
Press Releases
Some sort of an Infographic?
Content that people would like to link to...some sort of How To Guides...
The same sort of Guides if you can do different ones for your own site and others that can be used for Guest Posting on other sites/blogs.
Actively participate in some niche forums/local forums where people might be looking for this kind of help. -
Thanks. Great Response. I actually have been asking to do guest blogs on many sites and a few have allowed me. Do you have any other suggestions on what types of links to get besides blogs or directories?
-
I would recommend not using any kind of link networks. If you can contact relevant blogs directly, maybe do some of those kinds of guest posts etc. Also, diversify your link profile. Do a little bit of everything or in other words, don't overdo any 1 technique. A natural link profile consists of all kinds of links and too much of any-kind is where it becomes un-natural.

1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories. Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google. So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content? I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links? Thanks guys!

How good is a backlink that's in the footer
Hello, The strongest site in our industry (according to domain authority and excluding wikipedia) said that they would put a sitewide link to us in their footer. We're good friends with them. It would be right next to the copyright. Our site is nlpca (dot) com The partner site is nlpu (dot) com The link will say something like "More NLP Training" with the "NLP" as the link. We're targeting the keyword "NLP" How much will this move us up for the keyword "NLP"? Right now we're on the 3rd page for that term. I also want to make sure that it's a white hat move. Thanks!

Changing Category Names in Wordpress Blog & Inbound Links
I'm working on a wordpress blog, /www.athleticfoodie.com, and I'd like to change the names of the categories so that I include keywords. If I change the current category name of "Healthy Recipes" to "Recipes for Athletes" will I lose the inbound links associated with the category and/or posts? Is there a way to prevent this?
