Google Link-building Update....
-
Hey, Guys
How long does it take for Google to recognize your link-building efforts with authority websites and affect the SERPS?
-
As pointed out it depends, on a variety of factors. It can take hrs or either months for Google to crawl something. One thing that we always suggest is that you can use social signals, in particular Google+, on the page that has the link to get it crawled faster.
For example if you are a gun company, and you want the link that you got on NY Times to be crawled faster tweet out the NY Times article.
In the end you want that page that has your linked to get crawled faster. Here are a few tips that we wrote about a few months ago, that might help you: http://www.theedesign.com/blog/2013/raleigh-internet-marketers-index-your-website-for-you

Chad is absolutely correct.
-
It's an ongoing process and depends partially on the authority of the sites you are getting links from.
Google has to recrawl the page that the link was placed on, then bake that into their algo for ranking, so if the links are on pages that Google crawls often, it will get counted sooner.
-
The strength of the link does depend on the page that it is on. So, if the home page did have more authority, then it would have a larger impact.
-
Ahhh,
So this might be kind of a dumb question but does the page that your link shows up on affect the strength of the Referral. For example ( We just got a "do follow" link on a National Association website with major link juice. Our link is not on the homepage but it is on a sub-domain. If it were on the homepage would it have made a bigger affect ?)
-
It can be as little as a few hours to as much as a couple months. It depends on the popularity of the specific page which contains the link, along with the number and quality of links pointed to that page.

Link building strategy - my weak link!
Please help me understand link building. I've read the articles on Moz, but they seem vague to me. Specific questions: 1. How do I get my webpage on good quality sites? 2. Guest blogging? Good or not? 3. What about when people pick up one of our blog stories and publish it on their site with a link back? Is that bad now because it is duplicate content??? 4. Forum posts with a link in the signature? Good or not? 5. Directories - I get it that these are no longer good... are they severely negative? Should I take them down. 6. PR - Looks like this is bad... right??? 7. Youtube - any value? 8. Pinterst, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram? Any value to backlinks here? 9. What about sites like redit? 10. Anything else I should consider?

Link building during link removal
We were advised by out outsourced link removal vendor not to build any links while they are removing links pointing to our site. I am worried that our site will lose significant traffic if we dont build any new links while waiting for them to remove links that caused our site to be penalized. What are your thoughts?

Guidelines for keyword-targeting and link building?
Hello, Every month, I set a goal of targeting 10 - 15 relevant keywords for my website. I then attempt to boost my site's rankings for these terms through a combination of content writing and white hat, non-paid link building. My question is: Are there general guidelines for keyword-targeting and backlinks? Is it healthy to target 10 - 15 different keywords (or more??) like this per month?

Outsource Link Building?
Currently we are in the process of creating a new ecommerce website. The site is not live yet, but we have done all of the planning and brainstorming and now are just doing all of the dirty work to get things ready to go live. We are devoting a lot of time on merchandising and developing the site, but currently do not have the resources to put together a good link building campaign in house. Does anyone have any recommendations for outsourcing the link building? The last thing we want is to hire someone that submits to bad neighborhoods and only directories. Is there a good, better, best scenario we should be looking at for pricing, ect? Obviously, like most who are starting a new site, cost is an issue at least until the site gives some sort of sign of life. Also, we are in the Pittsburgh area. We don't need to go local with this, but if there is someone particularly good in the area it would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Link Building strategy between domains I own?
I am in the somewhat unique position of owning and administering around 300 websites that each have their own unique domain names. We have a corporate website and then many individual websites for hospitals and nursing centers that we operate. My question is how would you recommend using these sites to build good incoming links between all the sites? Should I take every opportunity to find as many places to link from each site to all the other sites that are owned? Is there anything I should avoid that Google would penalize me for or discount the links all together? Sorry this is a such as long question... but wasn't sure where to start. Thanks!
