Quality Content - Tick - So now comes the link building, who is on your checklist?
-
Hi
We've spent a month putting together a really complete and awesome video guide, it really is a beautiful and useful thing and is hands down the best bit of content online on this subject. - Great... but
Getting the eyeballs and getting the links?
Related Bloggers and Influencers....
Egobait (anyone who is in the video)
Customers (inform those who already use our site)
But who am I missing, this is our first guide, and a months work deserves a really good push, how else can I push this content for a) links and b) views.
Whats your checklist?
All suggestions welcome, I will revert with success of this afterwards.

Well, it doesn't have to be PR Web, but writing a press release is just another way to repurpose content...
-
Why not? You just need an interesting way of repurposing the content. It may be that you don't use all of it, but just certain parts.
-
Bloggers and influencers - yep. You want these people to share your content if at all possible. I've found that some bloggers won't link to your content if it's on a commercial site however a lot of them are willing to Tweet it if it is great content.
Have you considered paid exposure? Facebook ads are pretty cheap and a small Google PPC budget could be used to target interested searchers.
If it's a city guide have you considered getting in touch with whichever municipal body is in charge of tourism in that city? If it really is the best content out there then you might be able to convince them to share it.
-
I'd not both with PR Web as (personal opinion) it's a waste of space but agree that sharing on social media is a good idea.
-
Hi Zeph,
I can turn my video into an infographic? It's a city guide, you think that will fly?
-
-
Create a press release for it, PR Web is a good choice.
-
Repurpose the content. Visual.ly is really great for that.
-
Share it on Social Media. That means Twitter, Facebook, but especially LinkedIn groups that are related to your topic.
It's Friday, and I'm tired, so that's all I have right now. Let us know how it goes!

Upper and lower case URLS coming up as duplicate content
Hey guys and gals, I'm having a frustrating time with an issue. Our site has around 10 pages that are coming up as duplicate content/ duplicate title. I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. I was going to attempt to 301 direct the upper case to lower but I'm worried how this will affect our SEO. can anyone offer some insight on what I should be doing? Update: What I'm trying to figure out is what I should do for our URL's. For example, when I run an audit I'm getting two different pages: aaa.com/BusinessAgreement.com and also aaa.com/businessagreement.com. We don't have two pages but for some reason, Google thinks we do.

Removing Bad Links
Hi all, I am in the process of conducting a Link Audit and I am faced with quite a lot of seemingly poor quality examples, such as; http://gotogetaways.com/tag/cunard/ http://jobhiringlocalandabroad.blogspot.com/p/job-hiring-for-cruise-liner-orchestra.html http://lumukixu.xlx.pl/p-o-cruises-aurora.php To me these should be removed \ disavowed but I am getting a little resistence from stakeholders regarding the amount of links I am seeking to rid ourselves of - all are of a similar quality to my examples above... Just so that I know that I am not being 'over eager' with my audit, I welcome your opinions Thanks Andy

301 Externally Linked, But Non-Producing Pages, To Productive Pages Needing Links?
I'm working on a site that has some non-productive pages without much of an upside potential, but that are linked-to externally. The site also has some productive pages, light in external links, in a somewhat related topic. What do you think of 301ing the non-productive pages with links to the productive pages without links in order to give them more external link love? Would it make much of a difference? Thanks...

Interlinking from unique content page to limited content page
I have a page (page 1) with a lot of unique content which may rank for "Example for sale". On this page I Interlink to a page (page 2) with very limited unique content, but a page I believe is better for the user with anchor "See all Example for sale". In other words, the 1st page is more like a guide with items for sale mixed, whereas the 2nd page is purely a "for sale" page with almost no unique content, but very engaging for users. Questions: Is it risky that I interlink with "Example for sale" to a page with limited unique content, as I risk not being able to rank for either of these 2 pages Would it make sense to "no index, follow" page 2 as there is limited unique content, and is actually a page that exist across the web on other websites in different formats (it is real estate MLS listings), but I can still keep the "Example for sale" link leading to page 2 without risking losing ranking of page 1 for "Example for sale"keyword phrase I am basically trying to work out best solution to rank for "Keyword for sale" and dilemma is page 2 is best for users, but is not a very unique page and page 2 is very unique and OK for users but mixed up writing, pictures and more with properties for sale.

Links from new sites with no link juice
Hi Guys, Do backlinks from a bunch of new sites pass any value to our site? I've heard a lot from some "SEO experts" say that it is an effective link building strategy to build a bunch of new sites and link them to our main site. I highly doubt that... To me, a new site is a new site, which means it won't have any backlinks in the beginning (most likely), so a backlink from this site won't pass too much link juice. Right? In my humble opinion this is not a good strategy any more...if you build new sites for the sake of getting links. This is just wrong. But, if you do have some unique content and you want to share with others on that particular topic, then you can definitely create a blog and write content and start getting links. And over time, the domain authority will increase, then a backlink from this site will become more valuable? I am not a SEO expert myself, so I am eager to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

How to handle link building to product pages that change regularly?
How do I handle building links to an eCommerce site where the product pages change regularly because product is only available for a certain time frame? Should I focus on building links to the category pages instead?
