Content Marketing - Getting Webmaster to Link to Article
-
Hello,
We're doing a niche article and we want to do a link building campaign around it.
I'm not as interested in being linked to in resource sections - that will happen - but my question is for other links.
What types of links am I looking for, is it guest posts - is that the best? If so, how do convince them to allow a guest post around an article?
Thanks.

Thanks Carla and Shailendra,
Let me give a few more details that might help.
Although we're marketing an article, we're looking simply to strengthen the DA of the whole site. We want to get abut 30 links to the article of various strengths and thus bump up our DA.
Also, not one of the dozens of sites I've come across have an article on the topic, but it would be very useful to many of them.
What can you tell me about how this works, whether it's guest posting, and what's involved?

Hi Bob,
Carla is right. Also, you can check the service provided by http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/. We have used this service with good success rate.

Hi Bob,
We do content marketing ourselves and here is something we have learned. If your PR is high enough and your article is niche enough, you will rank without any incoming links. See attachment.
I recommend you contact people that are interested in the topic and see if they have an article similar to yours but not quite as indepth. Chances are they will want to link to your niche article from theirs.
It worked for us. Thanks Carla

We are moving to HTTPS and wanted to know if our link building efforts were in vain or will the link juice pass to HTTPS?
We are switching to HTTPS and want to make sure the links we've gotten in the past will still transfer since they are pointing to HTTP? I'd hate to go back through and ask people to please add an s to the link.

Should I disavow spammy links that are showing in Open Site Explorer but not showing in Google Webmaster Tools?
Howdy Mozzers, After carrying out a backlink audit for a client, Open Site Explorer shows a range of outrageously spammy links for guys wanting a bit of assistance in the bedroom area, and so on. Hopping over to Google Webmaster Tools, there is no reported trace of said spammy links (for either of the www/non-www versions of the site). There are also no manual webspam actions found on the www/non-www Google Webmaster Tools accounts for this website. So my question is: do I carry out a pre-emptive strike and go down the disavow process of requesting removal from the spammy sites, and then submit a disavow request to Google after allowing a suitable period of time for the junky/compromised website to (not) respond? Or do I just leave it alone? Thanks in advance for your wise words of wisdom and pearls of clarity.

Link Detox and Link Removal
I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own. But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

Are links in sponsored articles juicy?
Hi There I've been offered a sponsored article in a national newspaper that can contain up to 3 dofollow links. Something similar to this http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/271282 The question is would this be seen by Google as a paid link (which it is really I guess) and thereby pass no link juice? It's pretty expensive so don't want to get it wrong. Any thoughts gratefully received!
