LInk Building Ideas for Large Site
-
Hi,
I have a very large sized website of about 5 Million Pages. Earlier i used to rank very well with many naturally occurred links, But now, i lost my rankings with numerous Google updates. My content is user generated content and it wont be pure original as my users will post the same on other forums too. I all of my pages rank on #1 page for their keywords. Can anyone suggest me good link building strategy for larger websites as each url will have different keyword, i want all of my urls to be ranked well.
Waiting for your replies.

Google's not real keen on having just search results for other content in its index.
For people, you'll need to convince them why to link to your site instead of the source site you index. I couldn't get any of the links on the homepage to go anywhere, they just brought me to the home page, and I tried in two different browsers.
There are lots of ideas for getting links on the SEOmoz blog, but they generally center around having good content. I'll be honest with you that SEOmoz may not be the place to get the type of answer you're looking for. It does tend to be a fairly white hat crowd around here.

Hi Keri,
Thanks for the reply, but how about this site www.filestube.com which is of the same niche was ranking <100 alexa rank and ranking well in google. I am confused, on how to build up my site here. I do not encourage people to download copyright material..all i do, is indexing file hosting files, if anyone reports for copyright i will remove them promptly. But however, its not under my control to control kind of files to be indexed. As the algorithm will takes care of indexing all the files.

Hello Dhee,
This might be a tough one, due to the nature of the content. It looks like the intent is to let people download copies of materials that might be copyright, which is going to be a hard sell to the search engines and to encourage other legitimate sites to link to.

Hey Dhee, that is such an incredibly broad question that I doubt anyone can give you a perfect answer or indeed, if a perfect answer even exists.
If you drop in some example links I am sure folks can give you some more targeted guidance.

What should be the step after building links?
Hello, I regularly build links and save them in excel file. But I don't know what should I do after building them? Should I ping them? Share on social media or leave until they are not indexed? thanks

Other sites linking to our site through sitewide footers
Hello, We have other sites linking to our site through images in sitewide footers, resulting in a link from every page of each site. Those sites are not owned by us and they decided to link to us on their own. They usually link to us as their "sponsor" or "partner", sponsor as in sponsor of some event and partner as in we sometimes work together on joint initiatives. I've searched Moz forum and other articles, but haven't been able to find an answer to this question. We'd like to make sure Google doesn't consider it to be spammy and we don't get any sort of penalty. Should we ask them not to link to us through those images in a sitewide footer or ask them to simply add "nofollow"? We don't want to remove those links if they are not considered to be harmful and removing them will hurt our DA/PA.

Link Building On a Budget
Hello! We are a small online business with a tight budget. Most of the content, social, ppc is done in-house to keep things under control & cost down. Can anyone suggest a local or offshore link building agency that we can trust or that someone else has used with good success? Some of the local agencies we've contacted quoted us 150-200/mth per keyword, is that typical? Has anyone been successful with agencies overseas? Thank You!!

Link Building
I'm having difficulty creating a solid link base. I would prefer to only have links that are on relevant sites that are likely to drive traffic rather then just adding my company page to site directories. I've checked out the whiteboard Friday edition of link building and have also used the new Moz analytics that helps recommend sites to link to, but all the recommendations were directories. So, could anyone hold my hand and guide me through the world of Link building? Your help, as always, is much appreciated. Thanks everyone Dave

Internal Link Building
For a large part of our SEO we have been focusing on inbound links (mainly from guest posts and blogger reviews). But our rankings have dropped (though I understand there is a natural fluctuation in rankings quite often) this week and it occurred to me that we should be focusing more on internal link building as well. We, of course, link often to our home page and have related products on every page but we lack a lot of direct key word links in in our description. Would it behoove us to be on a specific product page--take for example owls and friends wall decals--and somewhere in the description add something like "our nursery wall decals are safe for....and have "nursery wall decals" be the direct link since that is a key term for us? I just wanted to make sure that we are headed in the right direction before I spend a massive amount of time updating all these product pages. Any input would be really helpful. Thanks so much, Elizabeth

Link building tools/sites
I am looking for a way to share my content in multiple locations to build back links without having to upload one at a time per location. For example- if i write an article and i upload it to ezine articles and then post it over on my blog- it will then post over on my twitter and facebook and linked in. However- how i can also get this article with back links into shared sites, bookmark sites, and other locations online to help build my inbound marketing for back links. I'm trying to find a way to save time while building out the links.
