Gained my first quality link, was it worth 2 hours of work?
-
Hello,
I'm a newbie. I'm building a brand new site. In a niche service business, worldwide.
Today I gained my first link, I tried to reach to the highest qualify link I could identify.
I'd like to know if you think my two hours effort was worthy, or laughable. Because I can gain other 3 or 4 links from other domains working like that.I tell you where is my first link:
the top domain is in the same niche business, DA 79
My link is in a subdomain page (always in the same niche business) that has:-
20 other links (mine is the only external dofollow)
-
Domain Authority 79 /100
-
Page Authority 31 /100
-
Page Link Metrics Just-Discovered 79 in 32 Days
-
Established Links 1 Root Domain 4 Total Links
-
the homepage of the subdomain has Page Authority of 66 /100
-
Page Social Metrics 0 0 0 0 0
I'd appreciate any feedback.

1. Does your links and content match what is already on the website? It has to look natural and fit in with the theme of the website.
100% yes.
2. What are the other posts like? Do they look paid?
No, they don't.
2. Are the links followed or no-followed? Mine is one of very external few followed, in all the subdomain.
3. Are people commenting on posts?
No stil 100% sure, But I bet the'll comment soon
4. Is the website pushing your content through social channels?
Unfortunately not.
Thank you for your attention, this is a solid feedback for me.

hi,
Well done on getting your first link, it's good to see people using the right techniques in order to gain links. Looking at stats of a page is a decent gauge of the quality but I also recommend our clients to look at the website as a whole. When deciding whether your to get a link from a website consider the following;
1. Does your links and content match what is already on the website? It has to look natural and fit in with the theme of the website.
2. What are the other posts like? Do they look paid? if so then you may be submitting your content to the wrong website. Are the links followed or no-followed?
3. Are people commenting on posts? You want people to interact with your posts because that is how you attract people to your website.
4. Is the website pushing your content through social channels? Ideally you want this so your post gets maximum exposure.
If you consider these 4 things when you are looking to push your content then you should be fine. To summarise,check the website for these 4 things are you'll know how much traction your post is going to get. If it ticks 3 or 4 of these points then I'd say it was 2 hours well spent!
Good luck.

Gained a number of new 'do-follow' links - Good or Bad?
So, my client's site is on a subdomain of the parent site and there were a number of links previously pointing to the subdomain site from the main site which were all no-follow so were purely for referral/traffic benefits. Around the end of February, the main site changed all the links to 'do-follow'. Is this likely to have caused the decline we've recently seen in organic traffic to the site and a drop in rankings? I'm curious as to how that could have affected the site as we didn't know and have only just found out about it but I'm not sure how to show that it's led to a decline. Any help is appreciated!

Hi Mozzers, I work for an IT company specialising in outsourcing Cisco Engineers worldwide. Due to being involved heavily in outsourcing, I'm finding it impossible to generate genuine and organic links to our website. My question is that is it essential to have back links back to our website to achieve high search engine rankings? I'm unable to get clients and other partners to provide links as we're the outsourced company,but I can get backlinks from unrelated c ompanies. For example we're running a CSR initiative with a National Gym relating to health & fitness, also links from our web designers etc... Do these links have any type of value? Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Jason 🙂

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help

Using parked domain page to get 50k+ of low quality links, good idea?
Hi all, I'm managing the seo for a hosting company. We have a lot of parked domains with a parked domain page. This will now be updated to promote our products. When this page is updated it will give 50k+ of low quality links to specific pages almost overnight. We curently don't have a very good seo ranking for our keywords, so there is little risk on the downside in the short term. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about this? Some alternatives off the top of my head: 1. get the page up an focus all the link equity on relevant pages with keywords in anchor text 2. add noindex / nofollowto all pages or only part of them to avoid puishment 3. add noindex / to the majority of the pages and "release" a percentage every week or so to avoid a "link bomb" Thanks for any and all input!
