      Hi guys,

      I have a question, for high quality backlinks apparently you go to these article websites where you submit your site such as Ezine etc etc, however is it just one article you submit to these as it'll look like duplicate content? Also can I have it on my site first?

      How does it work?

      Also I run an ecommerce website, how can I build backlinks to each product, theres over 200+ products and 1.6k subcategories.

      I would like to rank for as many as possible but getting an SEO company to do this would cost to much. Any ideas on how I should go about it?

        ezine et al are much less effective nowadays. its all about going for articles on quality sites that aren't easy to get on. ANYONE can get an article on ezine and similar sites.

          1. Do Press Releases

          2. Build Infographics and share them on Twitter, facebook, google plus and pintrest

          3. Submit Guest Post

          4. Create video content of your products and share it to sites likes youtube, vimeo and etc, and if you can give a voice over product description in the video it would be great.

          5. Use Tools like OSE and check where your competitors are getting linked from and try to get linked from those sites. If the sites are spammy, don't get linked with them

          Best of Luck..

            I think that you answered your own question,
            If there is a doubt there is no doubt..

            Here are some practical tips for contnet link bulding:

            1. create usefull articles - not the boring same old things that everyone are doing. dig in and reaserch to find out what users really want and then give it to them.

            2. publish your content in one (!) resource - make sure that it is original and not copyed (especially not from your own website) - you can use copyscape.com for that.

            3. after your article is live on the web you should link to it from tweeter, facebook, bookmarks, forums and other articles you publish later on. If your article is really good you can also contact blogers to write or mention it.

            4. link to inner pages (products?) - not just your home page.

            The bottom line is that you can not get high quality links with low quality work - you really need to put the effort in to it.

            Good luck!

            🙂

              With posting to multiple article sites, just make sure you post under the same author name. That way you wont be viewed as duplicating content.

              The effectiveness of this kind of linking isn't that great though, your better off putting great content on your own site and making sure its shareable on sites like Google plus and Facebook.

              Is their any way on your site of adding articles to a page that then pulls in the items you have for sale based on the article? That way at least you would have a relevant landing pages for linking to.

                to be honest Ezines are going to yield smaller results, you really only want to target the big ezine websites which are high quality and indexed by Google news.

                In regards to what other strategies you should use to build backlinks for your ecommerce site some good posts can be found here:

                http://backlinks.com.au/15-ways-to-build-backlinks-post-google-penguin-update/

                I would look at using more of the above methods over lower quality article submissions 😃
