Article Backlinks To Product Pages
-
I am writing a number of 500 word articles and have read that Top 10 lists are becoming more and more popular on the web. So my thoughts are to write an article about the the 'Top 10 Mens Grooming Products 2013' for example.
My questions is - do I post this article on my own website with the 10 links to the product pages using the product name as 'anchor text', or post the article to somewhere like Squidoo containing the links to my product pages.
Which strategy has more SEO value?

I agree with what Tom said.
It depends on your website. If it doesn't have much traffic then you're better off posting on Squidoo or guest posting. Alternatively you could leave it on your own website and look for ways to promote it by reaching out to bloggers

Hi there
If you can market it properly so that people will share it, posting it on your own blog will have considerably more value.
You could post it elsewhere as a guest blog, which would get you 1 or 2 backlinks (although you should be doing it to connect with an audience, not just for links) and that's all.
Conversely, putting it on your site could help the post accrue a number of links and social shares over time directly to your root domain. This in turn will help every page on your site.
Marketing the blog post will be harder and longer, but achievable. You could, for example, egobait the company that you ranked number 1 into mentioning it on their site or social media channels.

Web 2.0 Backlinks
Hi Normal Web 2.0 websites like Wordpress.com, blogger.com have very High DA and PA. But when we create a subdomain, DA and PA falls to 1 as Google treats subdomain as new websites. Does it make any sense then to get backlinks from web 2.0 websites? will it help in Google rankings?

Backlinks through dofollow commenting
I'm interested in building backlinks to my photography business site by leaving good, engaging comments on other photographers' DoFollow blogs. Is this a good idea? Is it worth the effort? Through a little research, I've managed to locate more than 40 dofollow photographer blogs that have a domain authority of 35+. The idea is to take an hour or so a week to leave 10-20 comments on their blog posts. Would you consider this a good strategy? I rank on the first and second page of most of my keywords that I'm working on, but I want to rank 1st or 2nd on them. I used the keyword finder tool on google adwords to find the keywords that are the most searched for in my area. Surprisingly the competition is not large, so I'm fairly comfident I can get there. I've already optimized my site substantially and I'm looking into link building. Thoughts?

Great Article - Where do i publish it
I have just completed a great article (relating to advertising). I have a predicament, where do I post it? Do I contact sites related to the industry with high pr's and authority, to see if they want to feature the article? This will provide great anchor text links from the high pr site in question.
