How to SEO how-to website?
-
I've launched the website www.ComoFazer.com.br, which is a Brazilian how-to website (the domain is literally how to in Portuguese).
How can I get to the top rankings? My strategy so far:
- made all the on-page SEO stuff
- put 4 sidebar links in family websites
- bought the $90 package in GetLinksPro for 100 dofollow links
- spent about $100 in Facebook Ads to get 2k followers there
I want help regarding SEO and strategy for this kind of sites.

It would appear you are trying to become the Brazilian eHow. Given that they are not favorites of Google, etc. I would say be careful. You are already starting off using some questionable methodologies - Paid links as a starter. As to the sidebar links, they are discounted, so you need to stay after it for real quality links. If you dont mind spending a few dollars, Yahoo Directory ($295) could be a good direction. I would also insure that you are tight on local and are on every citation site you can find. There is a good list: http://www.seomoz.org/directories and here is a great Cyrus Shepard post around web directories and linking.
Obviously, your biggest challenge will be to have content around How To. So, you have your work cut out for you.
Hope this helps a bit,

Hey there Kikocherman,
I would love to help you but your question is a little vague.
-
What 'how-to' tutorials exactly is your website showing? Is it on any category or one specific category (e.g. How to repair cars)?
-
What keywords or phrases are you looking to get ranked for specifically?
-
Who is your target market?
Also just a word of advice, you should never have to buy back links to your website. Most places like that are very unreliable and only provide weak links. Just one strong, legitimate and relevant link, will easily out weight all of those purchased links. However, good call on the Facebook Ads.

SEO question about lots of outbound links
I'm considering adding a directory page to one of my websites that lists local groups from all around the world. I haven't kept up with SEO in a long time, but I recall (many) years ago that having a lot of outgoing links and very few (if any) inbound connections was a terrible thing. Is this still the case, or have search engine algorithms figured out that this can be beneficial to site visitors? What effect will adding a page like this have on my SEO?

Is a lot of inbound traffic coming from site a problem for SEO?
We have a site which is going to deliver content to a big news site and in return we will receive a lot of traffic from the news site. Estimates are that it will be about 50% of our daily traffic. Before this we have about 2000 daily visits, where 50% is from organic traffic. How will this affect our rankings? (It should be pretty obvious to Google that an increase like that in reffered traffic is bought - which I assume will ahve a negative impact on our organic rankings) What is the best tactic to use - regarding SEO - if (when) we proceed to deliver content/recieve traffic from that news site? (we have a lot of decent rankings on several branch keywords, and we don't want to risk those rankings. On the other hand - if we could improve our rankings from this deal - we would like inputs to that as well? Best regards, Chris

EBay listing links SEO value?
Hi guys, Our website has an eBay widget which lots of eBay users put on their listings. We are thinking of using that as a way to get links from eBay listings. However, since most eBay listings will disappear after 90 days, is this worth doing and also will Google count those links? Many thanks David

Question to SEO experts about backlink tracking
Hi, could you recommend the best tool that you use to keep track of all the backlinks you have. I'd imaging there is a good software or website which lists all your backlinks with all relevant info for each link (PR of the linking site, authority level etc) thanks in advance for sharing.
