Fake product ideas
-
I am going to build a fake product and wanted to get some of your awesome ideas This is for fun, laughs and mainly viral/back links. Ultimately my goal is to leave the user scratching their head saying to them self "Is this for real?". I want it almost believable
First: My site is based on everything scrabble so I want it related to that since my fans are going to get a kick out of it.
I need some great starting points of something fake I can create and post about.
-
Much in the same vein as Monopoly - you can have a special themed Scrabble board.
There's 1000s of Monopoly ones out there - I'm sure you could come up with tonnes of unique/(stupid) ideas!
-
ooooo I like that one
-
It could give the same answer no matter what the letter were, something like ID or one where it just replaces one of your letters with another you do not have so it is really not helpful - but if it is a fake product that might be hat you want
I assume this would be a free product
-
I would like to see you introduce a new letter to the traditional set, maybe a mathematical or scientific symbol
-
But does it take a picture like a fake app and remember what letters are on the board and how to manipulate them with your letters?
-
There is an app that does that already with Words with friends
-
How about a fake Apps that allows you to take a photo of the scrabble game in progress along with your letters bar, and then instantly finding the highest value word from what is on the board?
is this what you're thinking?
-
If you ask me, the most successful fake products are books that sell the secret to happiness, money and success. Though you have to be careful and make a really weird product, or else some people might buy it.

I recently had someone say a resource page is a bad idea. What do you think?
I have a resource page on my website: www.joeborders.com an admin on the google webmaster forum said I should get rid of it. That google might look at it as spammy and gaming the system. Either that or greatly expand on it and make it more complete. I haven't updated it in a while and its far from complete. What do you think? Boot it or grow it?

Do affiliate links to Amazon product pages boost those pages in the SERPs?
From casual observation, I believe that affiliate links to Amazon product pages, move those Amazon pages up in the SERPs. Does anyone else have an opinion on this? Philosophically, I think that affiliate links should not be counted in the rankings, even if they have not been nofollowed. I think that Google and other search engines should be filtering these links because they are compensated. Thanks for your thoughts.

The Benefit of Internal Backwards Links in Product Descriptions
We want to work out if it is beneficial to use links pointing back to categories (higher up in the structure) on our website product pages. For example, our Aria Dress by Jadore is found through the path: Home > Bridesmaid > Full Length Bridesmaids Dresses > Aria Dress In the product description for the Aria Dress, is it beneficial to include internal links pointing back to higher branches in the website structure .e.g. the Full Length Bridesmaids Dresses category page, the Bridesmaid category page, as well as linking back to the 'Jadore' page? Will doing this for every dress (linking back to category page), improve the SEO of these category pages? How many internal links is too many to include on any given product description? Is it more important to ensure a direct link to every single webpage so that they can be reached by Google, or to include links in both directions .i.e. from Home > Product Category > Product, as well as from Product > Product Category? Thank you.

Linkbait Ideas
Hi, I currently am trying to obtain links to build up the authority of my website. I am outsourcing content to be created by professionals as I am not the best when it comes putting together a piece of content worth linking to. My business build and design garden buildings that are used for a number of uses such as garden offices,gyms,therapy rooms, playrooms the list goes on. I have already had a piece of content created called '3 ways a garden office can boost productivity'. We also put a swimming pool in one of our rooms which is quite innovative in our industry, I am going to create a blog post about it. I have identified garden design, gardening & home improvement as relevant topics and this is who I will be targeting to link to my contact. In this case I have identified a home improvement blog I would like to obtain a link from 'http://www.ukhomeimprovement.co.uk/'. The question is how do obtain this link? What is the best way to approach them? Kind Regards, Tom p.s. my website is www.ecobode.co.uk

Does more product pages mean better rankings?
We've recently been told that one of reasons why our site doesnt rank as well as a particular competitors because they have much more product pages than us. We can see that they have better quality links, which we are working on improving, which we sort of understand can be helping them beat us, but we didn't think that they would be ranked higher just because of more products. They also do not have much interesting blog / content on site. So should our limited resources be focused on getting better links, better content, or increasing our depth of product range? Thanks all.

Is it a good idea to cross-link my websites?
I own multiple websites in the same niche but all are targeting a different sub-niche and different keywords. Is it a good idea to interlink all my websites? Could there be some negative effects?

Adding NOFOLLOW to all external links, is this a good idea?
In the setting of a news site, with articles that often link to one or more outside sources, is it a good idea to rel="nofollow" all external links? Would this hurt link-building prospects? Of course, internal links would keep on passing link juice back and forth, but is there real harm in following external links? These would be links our writers and editors created themselves to reputable sources, blogs, etc.

Any ideas for linkbait?

I already posted a question about it here http://www.seomoz.org/q/very-fluctuating-rankings The lack of time made it almost impossible for this business to start bloggin', but we're about to change that in 2012 and I already came up with some ideas for some articles, but still looking for that big fish that will get those good links. Maybe an infograph, but what data should we cover?
