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!

Benefit of internal link in content
Hi, Is there a real benefit to having internal links in content other than at the bottom of a page for example and not surrounded by content. Would the benefit be 1 to 10 or 1 to 1.5 ? Thank you,

Google displaying a content box above the listing link for top ranking listing in SERPs
Hi, In the attached Google SERP example the first listing below the paid search ads has a large box with a snippet of content from the relevant page then followed by the standard link. Does anyone know how you get Google to display a box like this in their SERPs? I checked the code on the page and there doesn't appear to be anything special about it such as any schema markup. It uses standard list code. Does this only appear for particular types of content or sites, such as medical content in this case? Is the content more likely to appear for lists? Does it only appear for high authority sites that Google has selected? We have a similar medical information based site and it would be great to try to get Google to display a similar box of content for some of our pages. Thanks. Damien ZmPJVSl.png

How to build links to landing pages?
I have been using link baits like infographics to get quality links to my site and I have observed that these tactics are great to get links to the home page or that particular post page where infographic was originally posted. But we have various other important landing pages and we want to transfer some link equity to those pages. Whenever we publish an infographic we post it on out blog with an embed code carrying anchor text pointed to our site’s home page. People who share our infographic, normally links to the home page or to the post page where they find that particular item. So, what are the possible ways to get links to any other landing page? Can we post some bait on other landing pages as well. I need to know some more techniques to attract deep links. Thanks

[Feedback Wanted] Building exact match anchor links for awkward phrases
We all know that exact match anchor text is sill a key factor in ranking well on the engines, but how do you build links for awkward phrases like. **ppc london ** **architects new york ** **accountants new york ** The Bio Solution I know one solution might be to include the anchor in your bio after the company name like: _Luke Skywalker works for DeathStar Accounts New York and often blogs about fishing, playing golf and kissing his sister. _ Are Some Key Phrases Too Spammy But say for example you want to link in the content, obviously you can phrase things differently and make it sound "ok" and probably "acceptable" but it still sounds a bit rough when it reads like this: "We performed a review of all the accountants london and found them to have worse Excel skills than my grandma." Obviously this would read better as: "We performed a review of all the accountants in london and found them to have worse Excel skills than my grandma." Possible Options: Just deal with it, the blog owner will let it slide more than likely if the rest of the content is useful / quality. Change the anchor slightly so its not exact match e.g "accountants in london" and optimise the page for "accountants london" Choose another phrase that reads better and has fewer monthly searches If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or feedback I would love to hear them.

Where to link to HTML Sitemap?
After searching this morning and finding unclear answers I decided to ask my SEOmoz friends a few questions. Should you have an HTML sitemap? If so, where should you link to the HTML sitemap from? Should you use a noindex, follow tag? Thank you

Duplicate Content on Blog
I have a blog I'm setting up. I would like to have a mini-about block set up on every page that gives very brief information about me and my blog, as well as a few links to the rest of the site and some social sharing options. I worry that this will get flagged as duplicate content because a significant amount of my pages will contain the same information at the top of the page, front and center. Is there anything I can do to address this? Is it as much of a concern as I am making it? Should I work on finding some javascript/ajax method for loading that content into the page dynamically only for normal browser pageviews? Any thoughts or help would be great.
