Looking for a small list of sites I can gain backlinks from
-
Is there or does anyone have a list of backlinks I can guest post etc from in order to gain some good strong backlinks?
-
I would advise against it since most reputable blogs I would assume have a rel="nofollow" for links when public commenting is allowed. For example Moz has rel="nofollow" on users profile links also. So I would not advise using that as a strategy for creating backlinks.
-
What about blog commenting? If your a member of a forum and your profile has you'r URL, do your comments or posts create backlinks?
-
Thank you greatly for the effort and time,
All the ideas and suggestions can help, it's certainly a long game.
This should get us started for a bit, anything worth something takes time to complete.
Thank you again!
-
Yes so I'm told, I'm prepared to put in the work just needed some pointers to get in the right direction.
Thanks again.
-
It's a difficult process for sure but definitely worth it. Hope that helps you out some.
-
so lots more research needed and contacting people, companies etc from what I see. Some good points there, thanks for sharing.

The first thing I recommend and I know I already spoke on it is setting up Google Alerts to monitor for any mentions, articles or blogs regarding your industry or niche. Next, I would go into Moz’s fresh web explorer and look for any mentions of your brand, competitors or any other industry specific key terms. Also, Rand has an excellent post on identifying who your target audience is, creating customer personas and identifying sites they visit with marketing opportunities to better reach these audiences.
Some key takeaways I had from the whiteboard Friday were: As a side note this was an excellent post and I highly recommend reading it in its entirety my takeaways do not do it justice.
1.) Identify people who are part of the target audience
Find previous buyers or people who are engaging heavily and made a previous purchase or develop buyer personas of people you want to reach
*Look at social networks used; what content he consumes and where they have profiles at
2.) Collect search results
*Do some broad keyword research; then look for domains that are ranking consistently numerous times for a variety of related keywords
*line the searches up with the keywords
3.) Broaden the list – plug the domains into SEM rush and similarweb and see additional keywords and competitor domains
4.) Survey target audience
- Qualitative analysis
5.) Identify marketing opportunities on the sites to reach them.
Guest blogging
‘guest blogger for …..’
‘writers wanted for ….’
‘blog for us….. ‘
Advertising
Engaging with the community
I hope this helps some.

Of course! We're all in the same boat, Any info I get will be directly passed on in this question section.
You got it!
-
Ok cool, be sure to help others (inc me) out with your findings and idea's
-
The industry I have to be secretive about, but will say its a distribution company for commercial equipment that every commercial building needs.
That was the only part I wanted to be private, not the answers related. The rest of the conversation will be here.
-
That sounds good I may have some good ideas for you.
-
Probably respond here if you will it will help others and me no doubt!
-
Totally agree, seems so hard to get quality links and where to get them without it classing as spam. So many people saying different things and throwing different idea's around, my head is hurting!!!!
-
I'll respond to this in private, but we can continue this here so it can benefit others.
-
I love the analogy at the end. What niche or industry are you in?
-
I'd love some help in this department.
As most ideas I've read seem completely unrelated or unreasonable for a very niche industry, basically to the point I've been completely dumbfounded as to how to approach this.
Guest blogging is extremely hard to do in this industry where there aren't many blogs if any that would even be worth the effort to find them, since normal methods turn up little leads.
We have our manufacturers linking back, but other than that and the trickle we get from directory scrapers and links to actual content, backlinks for niche industries seem like a uphill battle.
Even the blogs here at moz and elsewhere on niche industry backlink building haven't really helped, due to the nature of what is being sold and the parent industry in general consisting of older than millennials and don't use the internet in a way that would assist us in this process.
In some senses seems we could acquire backlinks easier if we sold black eyes or bad luck.
Any advice in this case?
-
Your welcome let me know if I can be of anymore help.
-
Thanks for your input, Yes I have a custom blog I built and I blog regularly. I'll check out the links you sent and have a read up.
-
As a side note I would recommend reading Moz's article on guest blogging by Jennita.
-
Do you currently blog on your own site and produce linkable content? I would recommend using moz's opensite explorer to find link opportunities. Also you can set up custom Google Alerts to look for link opportunities and guest blogging options within your niche.

What qualities to look for when trying to find sites to get backlinks from?
When trying to build backlinks, of course some sites are much harder to get links on than others. I am trying to figure out which sites my time and effort is best spent trying to get a link on. I may view a site as important and high quality but Google may not. Which tools and metrics within MOZ should I look at to determine if a site is worth the effort to get a backlink from? I'm sure "Domain Authority" is a factor. Which number makes it definitely worth pursuing?

Backlinks From Press Releases - Should I Disavow Them?
About 2 months ago, I published a press release through PRWEB with a link back to my website of course. Now it must have been one of those morning where the coffee wasn't strong enough as my website already has a Penguin penalty I'm trying to get lifted. The intent wasn't to spam the web but rather to gain some traction in the business hosting world. Like I've said, the coffee must've been too weak that morning as it didn't even cross my mind to see if I could "nofollow" the links in the press release. I just hit the submit button... As I'm in the process of submitting a disavow links request to Google, I'm wondering if I should include the URLs to copies of those press releases? I mean, there's no way I can find all those links as it was submitted not long ago. Google and link tools will keep discovering other copies of the PR for months to come probably.

Finding freshest backlinks
Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for your help, I am doing some competitor analysis and noticed that one of our competitors had a massive spike in the number of baclkinks it received in the past month. Is there a tool or a method I can use to determine what links they have picked up in the last few weeks, by filtering by age of link? Many thanks Al

Are press release sites useful?
Many of my clients release newsletters and other peices of content qualify as press releases. I have been wondering if people find that the press release sites such as PRleap or PRweb are useful and worthwhile? If so, which do you feel is the best? Is there any research on this? I am planning to record my results from these sites and perhaps make a Youmoz post in the future.
