Article Marketing and Penguin
-
Can sites like Ezine.com and Articlebase.com still be used to create good links?
I have heard since Penguin, that article submission sites like those don't work anymore for link building.
I have a client who can't put new content on his site and will rely on link building, what is the best way to go about it??
Thanks.

His main company will only allow 4 pages on his site.
Huh? Who are these guys? They need a kick in the pants.

Kickass content on your own site. Content that will make people say WOW! and immediately share with their friends.

His main company will only allow 4 pages on his site. I am working with him to try and let him put a blog on the site. If they won't allow it, I will have to stick to off site marketing and link building.

Is the existing content on the site worth of links? Will it attract quality links? Depending on the quality of the content, you may have a tough time building links.
If you're able to tell a little about why the client can't put new/updated content on their site, we might be able to help brainstorm ways to convince the client that it needs to be done or compromises that can be worked out.

Syndicating content has BOTH Panda and Penguin risks if you don't know what you are doing.
-
So what would you recommend as a good link building strategy?
-
those are garbage links and treated as such by Google. best advice is tell him not to link to his homepage ever unless he feels like unwinding all those links that were created if he gets penalized.

Paid-for featured article on dailymail.co.uk with follow links
Hey Mozzers, Our PR team are paying for a featured article on dailymail.co.uk to increase brand visibility and coverage on a high traffic website. The article, however, is fairly thin content, and it has a couple of follow links back to our own site. From an SEO point of view, how do you feel about this?

Article linking to my post kicks it from the search results.
Hi I have been trying to get a article to rank on the term: "help your child do well in school" in the Google UK. Now I was doing okay the article went from 43rd to 17th. Until I got mentioned in the huffington post. Then my result disappeared from the listings and the huffington appeared in 35th position. The article I'm trying to rank is: http://www.schoolguide.co.uk/blog/10-proven-ways-to-help-your-child-do-well-at-school The Huffington posts is: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/emilyjane-clark/five-things-that-will-not_b_5693827.html It's really annoying because this is the type of link building I thought Google really wants. Does anyone know why this would happen and any suggestions of how to proceed?

Best Way to Market a White Paper
Hello everyone, I had to write a white paper for an entirely different purpose than to drive links, but it did come out very well and I think it would be a fantastic tool in my SEO efforts. What do you guys think is the best way to market a white paper? Obviously I will let our email subscribers know about it and place a link to it in a prominent place on the website, but if anyone has any extra ideas, I would love to hear them. Also, what is the best way to host it? Taking the Moz beginners guide for example, I would love to just put it on my server like http://static.seomoz.org/files/SEOmoz-The-Beginners-Guide-To-SEO-2012.pdf but is it necessary that I make it web-friendly like http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo? Can the former do anything for SEO? What if there are links to and from the site? Any advice would be great. Thanks

Penguin Recover: Remove links vs Burry Links
The best is to do both. However with those with limited resources, would building more links with branded and naked URL anchor links be a better solution than painstakingly asking every webmaster to remove links.

Should I post an article to the same article site each month or should I vary the sites I post them to?
Hi Community,
Link Building | | acs111
Im planning on creating an article each month centred around 1 keyword.
Is it best to post this to the same site. eg http://ezinearticles.com/ every month or should I try to post it to a mixture of different sites? I'm trying to rank a site higher for their chosen keyword by gaining links from anchor text within each article I create.0 -
