Will the links coming from an article in certain BLOG / NEWS SITE become a GOOD BackLink?
-
Such as, if i wrote a ymoz, and suddenly the articles is accepted, will the link to our site coming out of that Article Post increased our SEO Standing?
Another example would be http://active.tutsplus.com , yesterday i have successfully pitched a tutorial idea, and they told me to write it so that they can published it , and they also promised that i will be able to put my site link (dofollow) ... But will these link be a Good BackLink that will increase our site's SEO Standing?
The last one is exactly the same link , but this time coming from a News Site , such as http://teknologi.kompasiana.com/internet/2011/06/09/website-full-flash-dengan-inovasi-hebat-karya-indonesia/ , in this article (kompasiana is a very wellknown site news in Indonesia, in fact KOMPAS is the biggest newspaper firm in Indonesia) , our site is being featured , there is a link coming out of that article (DOFOLLOW), but will that link make our site much more SEO Friendly?
Again please enlighten me

I completely agree with what you just said but I assume that snippet alone needs to be that....amazing, to be picked up by other, right? I mean there is not much you can share in a snippet, a few sentences maybe an image what about videos? Have you tried link building using any type of video?
Could you share your homepage metrics, just PR, PA and DA.

Here is how I operate...
All of the content that I produce is posted on my own site. I never syndicate articles, never use press releases, never do guest blog posts. I believe that those activities feed existing competitors and create new competitors.
I mentioned reddit, slashdot, digg and stumble because only a snippet about my content is posted there. Anybody who wants to see it comes to my own site.
Rewording one of your questions.....
Q: What would I do when an article on my own site does not rank as high as I hope it will immediately after publishing it.
A: I immediately start writing a new article on another subject. In other words I do nothing... or I wait.... and when I check back a few months later that article is usually higher in the SERPs... a year or so later it is often ranking really well.
If you can create best-on-the-web content it can succeed without SEO.
These are not articles that you write in an hour, or a morning or even a day. I might spend a week or more with help from a graphics person making illustrations and taking photos, and with some help from a researcher.
Q: What if, the articles are not high quality and you just want some backlinks...
A: I don't want low quality articles, even as press releases. They would be more valuable to me representing my competitor.
-
Indeed it does but, I remember you saying a while ago that it is better to post it first on your own website (speaking of high quality content). What would you do when your own website does not rank as high as you wish to use it for spreading the word about your own press releases? Use the ones above that you just mentioned? What about spending some money and push them through some high quality Press Release websites? What if, the articles are not high quality and you just want some backlinks...
-
If you have that amazing content just toss it out to sites like reddit, slashdot, digg, stumbleupon. If its amazing that should be like throwing gasoline on a fire and result in some likes, links, tweets, etc. Amazing content does that.
-
Wouldn't be fair to say that even if your content is absolutely amazing, high quality content, the website that it is published on has to have a relative high PA and DA? How are the search engines going to rank your content if the site itself is not ranking well? How are they (SE) going to ever find it if your are not already among the top 10?
-
If you have lots of very high quality content it will attract natural links faster than a human linkbuilder. And the quality of those links will be higher than what a human linkbuilder would acquire.
This will not work if your content is low quality or mediocre.
-
and without linkbuilding your site can still do well in SERP?
-
I post all of my content on my own site, I don't give any of it away by syndication and guest posting... and forgot about linkbuilding a long time ago.
-
Hmmm, thanks a lot for the suggestion. in fact currently i am writing a good tutorial that is original (and hopefuly a good tutorial) for many sites..
and actually my website ikt.co.id , is a site that is created with "Good Content" in mind (if you dont believe me just try go there.. it is full flash, but it has a very special and unique features, you can open the site even from your cellphone or any other devices that have no flash player installed in it)
Sigh... i guess, because i am not sure what is good anymore.. i will do all of them
...
1. do try to write a good content
2. active in forums (especially the one that allow me to post a dofollow links) xD
3. sigh, i really cant help this, perhaps ... (i will also employ the use of those services like backlinkmonsters.com ), and if the services proved to be a disaster, i will definitely not do that anymore ... but unless proven otherwise, i really cant stop myself not to use it :((

which webinar? O.o; , sorry i am very new here, can you give me the link where i can get information about this webinar?
-
A "nofollow" link can benefit you by creating a more diverse backlink profile. In other words, having a good amount of "dofollow" links is obviously very beneficial, but "nofollows" are a natural part of the web world, and having a few of those won't hurt, and will help diversify your link profile in the eyes of Google.
-
Rand went into this in a little detail in a webinar - you will get benefit
-
I can tell that you are a very energetic person who can write copious content.
I would spend the next several months writing My Message and spend zero time worrying about links.
You received the same advice here from iNet SEO.
-
Okay thanks for the answer xD .. it helps me understand what kind of website i want to get a backlink from
... again thanks a lot
-
, you sure about this?? hmm , come to think of it , perhaps you are right.... after all no one know the exact way of how google do stuffs (hence the "Google works in mysterious ways" is totally true).
-
the problem is , the competitor website is just simply getting a lot of links, even the one from spam site... and their SERP is nothing to be laugh at
those site, rank #1 when i googled "bikin website murah" , and i am trying to analyze here, why they are doing so good? and the answer is definitely not what they have in their site, it is definitely on the backlinks they have built for themselves . I have even downloaded the CSV of all backlinks to their site, and well 95% of them are from spam site.. and yet they are doing so good
If you were me, in this case, what would you do? :((

Relevant simply means that if you have a web design site you might want to try to avoid a link from www.howtoflyaplane.com because that's not relevant to your industry at all. News sites are definitely relevant however, especially if the article contains information about your industry. You really want links that seem natural, if there is an article on ANY website that is about web design, and it links to your website, that is a very relevant, natural link.
-
It seems that the focus of your writing in this question and another that you posted this morning was all about "getting my links". I am impressed with the amount of time that you are spending trying to understand the value of the links and the effort that you are willing to spend to acquire them - without knowing their value.
You certainlyi have no problem writing a lot of content - which is the big problem for most webmasters. Maybe if you started writing for the purpose of spreading Your Message and forget about writing for links you will have greater success. Think about it.
-
There is more at work now with links so even no-follows will benefit you - Google works in many mysterious ways
-
how can a No-follow benefit me? if the Search Engine dont even count them as a backlink to my site?
or am i missing something? xD
-
thanks for your answer, those 3 sites questioned in this topic is a very good site with an extremely good metrics
. Some body does say "Relevant" , can anyone help me how relevant can a site be?
for example, my site is about web development, so does that mean that NEWS Site (from kompasiana.com) , not relevant to us? so does that mean the active.tutsplus.com is not relevant to our website (Because they are a tutorial site) ?
Sorry , i am quite new with the terms "Relevant" in this industry
-
News sites, Article Posts, and guest writing (i.e. the tutorial) are all very good ways of obtaining links. The thing you would really have to look at would be the page and domain metrics. In other words, what is the PageRank, what is the Domain Authority, Moztrust, Page Authority, things of that nature. Those metrics you can use as clues to help determine how useful that link will be.
If your articles are unique and aren't spread around by free article submission software and things of that nature, they can be very useful when it comes to obtaining a link.
Truthfully, those sound like good linking opportunities, but definitely look at the sites metrics to determine how big of an impact that link will have on your SEO.
-
Dont worry about do-follow and no-follow as both will be of benefit to you. But as Aaron has already said, keep anything posted on relevant sites.
-
If the sites that are coming from are authoritative, relevant, and trusted... yes.

How to fix doorway site
Hello, This client has a one page doorway site that is a copy of a category of his main site. It looks like the main site and has over 100 links to the site. We're cleaning things up to be white hat and we're wondering how to capture this traffic and link juice (this doorway has no backlinks though, it is an EMD) without a ton of money and effort. My thought so far is to put a uniquely designed paypal cart on there with top products and one link to the main site that says something like: To pay by credit card or to see more products, visit mainsite.com Would that be squeeky clean white hat or is that still a doorway headed for an update? What's best to do here on a low budget?

Would you get link from this blog?
I have an opportunity to place a guest blog on a site. The site has the following metrics: DA/PA: 24/36 Inbound links: 3K+ from 16 root domains Here is what makes me uneasy: The number of links from the same domain, suggesting sitewide or footer links When I look at the backlinks, there are links from sites like http://best-american-law-firms.info/, or http://www.luvbuds.info/. They sare blogroll links that are likely paid for. Would you get a link from this blog?

Link-Building - Directories
Hello, The SEO world is a bit confuse in the last months with the Google Antartic updates. Its normal since Google is trying to kill SEO to have more Adwords publicity results. My most recent doubt is about directories. I heard Matt Cutts from Google in a recent Google Hangout saying that registering a website in directorys was ok, but not the ideal method to become relevant in the internet world. However it seems that this procedure is not against the Google policies. Now, here in the forums, I already saw someone writing about adding your site to directories and how dangerous that situacion is. So, whats your opinion about adding your site to free and pay directories as first link-building strategy? If directories are out of the question, why SEOmoz as a huge list of paid directorys? Is SEOmoz outdate?
