Abusive links submission
-
Hello,
I wonder how many links you can submit to web directories without Google realizes that there is something fishy?
I know that sending a massive amount of in a short period of time is not recommended, but I am sure there is a limit not to cross what would it be?Thank you in advance for your attention.

I think it depends on the customer really. It might be wise to discuss your strategy openly with them, it is quite possible they have someone on their staff that could help you write copy, and save your time for more valuable things.

Thank you for your advice, i'm sure your right but now that you're talking about blogging and all, if you're doing that SEO activities for your customer, would it be risky to right something for them or do I ask them to invest time in blog post redaction?

Your right, it woulb be!

Honestly i wouldn't bother much with submitting links to directories. You can spend your time much more productively trying to aquire links directly from related blogs and local businesses or friends websites. It takes a bit more work, but from my experiance those link directories are pretty much ignored by google, and won't gain you much other than an easy way to waste your time.
Try guest writing some material on a related blog, then you have full control over the link and the anchor text as well as the content it is surrounded by.

You seem to be looking for a magic number. There isn't one. Or if there is, no one knows what that number is.
I suspect there are numerous factors and considerations including the source of the links along with your domain's authority.
Google does not make this information public, and for good reason. If we all knew that 100 links in a month is ok, but 101 is crossing the line then SEO would be a lot easier, wouldn't it?

External links cannot be found
HI, we have a relatively new website, and we know that there are a couple of external links to this site. But in Moz and in KWfinder, it says that there are no backlinks. We do not use robot.txt or noindex, and we have no clue how to make crawlers find the external links so that our DA will be enhanced. Anyone a solution? Marielle

Relaunching a site that has had thousands of posts linking to the same 20 articles. How to properly setup internal linking?
I'm in the process of relaunching a music news site (www.prefixmag.com) that once did quite well in search (over a million monthly search visits in its prime). The site got crushed by Panda, etc. and we stopped updating it. I'm starting to do more research but one thing that I noticed was we have modules in the right rail (desktop) that are found on all of our article pages that point to the same posts. (Edit: Added attachment. The links in the right rail under Editor Picks, Features, News, Media, etc. are found on every page of the site). In other words, we have thousands of posts that all link to the same 20 or so articles. Should we not do this if we're not trying to emphasize these posts in Google? Assuming this is the case, what is the proper way to do internal linking? Do we simply setup a sitemap and link to it? I'm hoping to have the thousands of articles we've published over the years have a chance to rank in search again. Also, we have a number of posts that are thin in content should those pages not be submitted in the sitemap? Thanks in advance! 2KmX0

Link text
Can anyone give me any advise regarding anchor text in back links on external sites. I have about 8 bloggers reviewing our products on their sites. When they link to our site, they either use the words of our company name or something like “click here” as the words in the link. There are a few key words that we are wanting to improve for so should those words be made as the live link on their site?

Different Link Titles Linking to the same page
So I'm doing a lot of link building but my question is how do search engines treat different link titles to the same page. For example, my main page is www.musillawfirm.com If I have 20 links from 20 sites linking to it as Melbourne FL DUI Lawyer and 20 more linking as Melbourne FL immigration Lawyer and More linking as Cocoa FL DUI lawyer etc... what happens? Do the search engines just rank me higher for all the terms or would it be better to always just link to separate landing pages? Thanks in advance

Linking articles to each other
I've been using white-hat article marketing to post original content about my niche to credible article directories (yes, I realize many of them were recently devalued). My question is: Is it a good or bad idea to have future articles link to older articles, as a way to increase the chances of having the older articles indexed, or increasing the amount of link juice they pass to my site (since they point to my site)? I get 2 links per article and was thinking of using 1 to point to a prior (related) article, and the other to point to my site.
