Eric Ward's urlwire.com - worth a $500 investment?
-
I'm after a turbo boost (direct and indirect) to my site's SERPs.
How beneficial is URLwire.com? Anyone here used it? Worth $495?
Given that Matt Cutts has said links from PR sites don't pass link pop, would URLwire fall into this category? (I'm aware the idea is also to generate backlinks from other referring sites).
Thanks

Subscribe to Ward's linkmoses email newsletter, and purchase the archives. The insights you will gain will be invaluable. I'm not sure that a single link will "turbo boost" your sites rankings. His email archive spans over 2 years and is about 300 pages - a much better investment in my opinion.

If you have content on your website that gets action when shared on Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Slashdot, Reddit and similar websites then you have something that might get a little attention from Eric Ward's service.
Value to the visitor.
If you have that then it might be worth the $495.
See, it is more up to YOU than it is up to Eric. He is simply going to share your site with another circle of people. He doesn't accept every person who is willing to pay.
I used his service a few years ago for relatively new sites that I felt had very good content. I think that I got ROI but it can be hard to measure. Since then social sharing has really taken off and I just allow that to happen on its own.

Gained a number of new 'do-follow' links - Good or Bad?
So, my client's site is on a subdomain of the parent site and there were a number of links previously pointing to the subdomain site from the main site which were all no-follow so were purely for referral/traffic benefits. Around the end of February, the main site changed all the links to 'do-follow'. Is this likely to have caused the decline we've recently seen in organic traffic to the site and a drop in rankings? I'm curious as to how that could have affected the site as we didn't know and have only just found out about it but I'm not sure how to show that it's led to a decline. Any help is appreciated!

I earned some high-quality backlinks, but the target page's ranking is not improving. Why?
Within the last three months, I acquired five .EDU backlinks and two editorial links to a page ranking for a competitive keyword. After the first few links came through, the page jumped from #15 to #7. It stayed there with minor fluctuations for a couple weeks. I earned a couple more good links, and the page fell as far as #44. It has recovered a bit then, but has not returned to the first page. It is worth noting that the .EDU links were achieved by sponsoring university programs. Could Google possibly be recognizing this as a link scheme? Are the links being earned too quickly? I don't believe it could be either, as the links reside on high quality, trustworthy sites and there wasn't a sudden major influx of them. Thank you for your insight! Also, I think my username tricked Moz into thinking I'm a staffer. Not the case!

Links in other language than site's language
I have a quick question regarding usage of links in my articles or website. As I already told in my last night question, I drive 2 french blogs. I'm wondering if putting on english sites links in my articles or pages to add complimentary infos on a particular topic would be useful or messy for my SEO. In other words, will Google be misled by the fact that I write in french and that I put english links ot ressources in my texts even if they are on a related topic

'Pay With A Tweet' - Yay or Nay
Is this system a good way of creating social signals? If you have something of value maybe a eBook, does using the 'Pay With A Tweet' system seem like a good one? The only thing I can think of that would be negative is if they paid with a tweet and then after removed the tweet. Cheers

Great idea to get back links in short order; however the links would be unrelated. . Is it worth the effort . BTW, it's a white hat method. Should I proceed?
I have come up with a very creative way to get some great back links using white hat methods. The problem is that the back links to the site would be to an interior page or external promotional website which then have links back to the main website. What kind of value for the main domain would this potentially achieve. What are peopLes thoughts on this idea?
