How do I get the most links out of one QUALITY article/post??
-
Basically we are a small business (2 employees) we don't have the time or resources to be writing hundreds of original quality articles each week (nor do we have the time to write endless guest blogs each week) how do we gain links from one article? (not including poor quality article submission sites) And how do SEO's write so many guest blogs? for the returns on time invested!!! Confused Newbie, thanks in advance!!!

The other solution is to start your own personal search and you can find good quality writers.
It then depends on you having your own set of guidelines and requirements that they must adhere too.
amount to a copywriter. -
I agree. There are some good people on those sites but most of them have been trained to write $2 articles. Creating something that is "best on the web" is not what they are used to doing.

All of the content that we produce is placed on our own websites. We never give it away or sell it. When we publish a new piece of content it is often submitted by our visitors to reddit, stumbleupon, digg or slashdot. We have AddThis sharing buttons obviously placed on every pages of our site to make sharing easy for our visitors. If you have good content they will do that for you. We also ask our visitors to subscribe to our new content by RSS feed and email. We use feedburner for this.
This method takes patience. If you keep publishing good content the size of your site will grow, the number of SERPs that you appear in will grow, the number of subscribers will increase, the number of visitors will rise. If you have great content in a niche that people care about that will happen. If that isn't happening then you must ask yourself if anybody cares about your content. If not then you need a different business model.

They generally don't produce good quality content though...

This is the problem, we are a copywriting company by nature, and we know the content we produce is "quality" we spend on average 2 days writing one article. Where do we present these "quality" articles? Submitting articles to Ezine and article submission sites seems like we're throwing our great content into a black hole! How are we supposed to get an audience for this content? Are we missing a trick?

Hi Nicholas,
Have you looked into hiring a copywriter?
There are plenty of freelancers out there and all you would need to do is come up with the article ideas and brief them into the writer. You should look at some freelance writer sites such as:
http://www.studentgems.com/
https://www.elance.comThis way you can get great content (depending onb quality of writer you hire). The cost of this is dependant on who you hire and what your budget is.
I hope that helps somewhat.

We don't have the time or resources to be writing hundreds of original quality articles each week
I hear you.... But if you want the rankings you must fight for them. We have a three person biz.... One takes care of customers and the other two spend almost 100% of their time working on websites and creating content.
We are not making 100's of articles per week... maybe just one or two.
The problem with the word "quality" is that most people mistake crap for quality. They spend an hour on an article, call it "quality", toss it onto the site, then complain that nobody links to it. If you want your content to attract attention it has to be better than "pedestrian"... you need to make "best on the web".

What are he benefits of getting 200+ links from DA 40+ non-relevant websites?
I have a client who has an opportunity to sponsor a prestigious national organisation. In return, they will get 200+ links from the websites of the organisation's members. Most of which are DA 40+.None of the linking sites have any relevance to my client's industry.1) How likely do you think it is that Google will view these as paid links?2) Do you feel that there is potential harm in gaining this many non-relevant links in a short time-frame?3) The client wants me to quantify the ranking benefits of gaining these links and calculate a potential ROI. If that's even possible, how would you go about that?Thanks in advance

Internal Linking - Post links vs Side Bar Links behaving differently
Hi, I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior. My website is www.hindimeaning.com which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts. Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.) I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links. If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links. Thanks, Mahesh Kumar

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.

What is the best way to get unique links?
I do SEO for an online store that sells vacuum cleaners. I write a lot of articles for yahoo, hub pages, etc as well as promoted press releases. But I'm looking to get some more unique links. I'm looking for any tips I can get. I've done tons of directories that have actually got a couple keywords on the front page of google but I'm looking to shy away from link directories. I write a few articles every week. I also try and create new social networking sites for the business. Does anyone have any new ideas?

Etsy.com --Getting link juice through other pages on search results?
My sister has a store page on etsy.com where she sells home made crafts. And I want to help her rank higher on google with some of the other etsy stores. So i started to look at the other etsy store pages that are ranking well on google and found that they have a page authority between 48 to 52. So i looked at the backlinks of the ones ranking well on google with high page authority and found that many of their best links came from the internal search results page on etsy.com, and some only had one link from just an arbitrary etsy.com search page. I'm thinking this is because another product being listed on the seach page has a high page authority which then passes some of its link juice onto every other product on the page. But what is interesting is products are always being sold or getting added so even though you are on a search results page that happens to benifit from the link juice of another product the next time the page gets crawled you will be on a different search page. So i am thinking in order to maintain high page authority to you just have to have a lot of products listed so that there is a greater likely hood that you will find yourself on the same search page as another high authority page. I have not been doing SEO very long so i would love to hear what others think. I really have no idea, am i on the right track with this? (edited post) Thanks
