Cool interactive games to teach link building
-
Hey looking to find some cool games to teach link building when doing a presentation to people who are new to link building and to make it fun.
Any ideas?
-
I'm thinking about a game which i bring in a string which represents all the traffic for a particular vertical (e.g. car insurance). And place it in the middle of the table. Then the people around it will get into groups of 4 (representing websites) and think of content/creative ideas or ways to bring that traffic to them (organic traffic)
What do you guys think?

Monopoly comes to mind.
You built your first link? Go directly to Google jail.
You built your second link? Pay poor tax of 50% of your traffic
If you are going to teach people, teach them NOT to "build" links and instead to earn links. The difference is not subtle.

Gosh, this is a somewhat crazy question, I have a few ideas, but it may help if you give us an idea of what you mean by link building? What techniques will you be using / teaching?
I am not really sure about a game, but you could easily make a lesson out of identifying link candidates for a given piece of content - something like.
- Site A has this piece of content which they want to rank for Keywords X, Y & Z.
- Currently the content has no external links but several similar pieces of content (and provide links) currently have many links
The 'game' would be to identify the links pointing to the similar content, find the social accounts of users who have posted those links using various tools and then to do some social outreach to build relationships with those users with the goal of eventually asking for a link.
Not 100% sure how you would build this into a game - it would really need some artificial content and link prospects to really work.
Hope that helps!

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

Footer Links And Link Juice
I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5

How do I build links for an Auto Detailing Company?
How do I go about building links for my website www.capitolshine.com Are there places I don't want to have my links? How do I know? How do I reciprocate? Where would I put a link on my website without looking like I'm just selling out to anybody who asks? And how do I actually put the links on my site? Do I need a separate page?
