Any ideas for linkbait?
-
Hi,
I'm working on an account where we are optimizing SEO, SEA and Conversion. The business is a very local car rental company that competes with Hertz, Europcar, ...
I already posted a question about it here http://www.seomoz.org/q/very-fluctuating-rankings
The lack of time made it almost impossible for this business to start bloggin', but we're about to change that in 2012 and I already came up with some ideas for some articles, but still looking for that big fish that will get those good links.
Maybe an infograph, but what data should we cover?
Any other suggestions on articles that are linkworthy are welcome -
Thanks,
I'll see what we can do with the funny video idea if the client accepts on doin' it I will show you the result

Comparing client site to industry site is useful, but unless there is some striking difference it could serve to narrow the appeal of your content.
If you've got access to their data maybe just start by joining the dots and seeing what interesting patterns form along the lines of "Customers who X are more/less likely to Y."
Think about the sites you want to link/republish - what are they interested in and what data do you have related to that?
-
- Car Rental Catastrophes
- Keep a log of stupid stuff people do to your cars, and how you fixed it.
- Funny Video
- Show someone that is revving up the engine (with some insanely powerful sounding engine revs), winking to the ladies on the street corner and then show him peeling away in a Toyota Yaris/Chevy Aveo/Honda Fit. (like this, but with an actual good idea!)
- Do a daily FML picture
- Someone blocks you into your parking spot... FML
- Suggest readers to submit their photos
- Give a link to my website... Oh woops, how did that get on here???

Thx,
We also have analysed a lot of his data of past 8 years, so we can probably get something out of that as wel, maybe we can compare data in industry report to data about his business

For infographics I like to use industry reports as a source. Most industries manage to produce long, dull reports that no-one cares about. However that 100 pages of boring text probably includes some gold for infographics. Best of all it has already been collated for you, saving lots of research. Ask the client what has arrived on their desk / in their inbox that might be relevant

Changing domain names... Bad idea?
We are re-doing a clients e-commerce website. Before I had entered them on SEO moz we had decided to change their domain name to one with a keyword inside. I had not known that they had an online marketing company previous working for them. They have a domain authority of 42 right now. It would be a horrible idea to switch their domain right? I looked at some of the links, they all have a variety of good anchor text. But alot of the links are coming from sites or directory categories that are not relative. We are also planning on doing 301 re-directs for the links. But this will not transfer the domain authority to the new domain right? Any thoughts?

Link Building Ideas?
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a site where people can buy mail-order bagels, i.e. the bagels are shipped via postal mail. It's a good alternative for places that have no good bagel stores nearby, especially in small, rural towns. I am about to launch a link-building campaign for the website, but am a little stuck as to where to begin. My first thought was guest posting, but it seems like the vast majority of food blog owners are very protective of their blogs and rarely, if ever, allow guest posts. I also thought about doing sponsored reviews (i.e. sending mommy bloggers free samples in exchange for a review), but that's essentially a paid link, i.e. a no-no. There are of course generic web directories, but those only get you so far, and article marketing is out of the question (too spammy). Was hoping I might be able to bounce off some ideas off of you all. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for whatever tips/ideas you might be able to share 🙂 Lukas

Need ideas to get do follow links from highly competative niche "wedding"
I need to get high quality do-follow links and my target market/keyword is ‘Maui wedding’ and a few others. Because it is such a competitive market I am having a hard time getting links from local companies providing Maui Weddings (I know why because they are my competitors) and national companies sites aren't much help because they are trying to provide leads to their advertisers. I would like do-follow links from non-paid sources any ideas or resources you could help with would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Is it a bad idea to build unique sites to build credibility for your main site?
It is hard to sum up the question in one line, but basically my company has bought several descriptive domains that we would like to build out into microsites that link back to our main site. For example...say we are a florist. Our main site talks about all the different kinds of flowers we have and the work we do. So the idea is to buy weddingflowersdallas.com (example only...) and have a mini site that has the same look and feel as our main site, but has unique content that talks solely about our wedding flower business and has a few links back to our main site. 1. Is this a no no from a google perspective? 2. Is this a good strategy in general? Thanks, David
