IS http://ezinearticles.com/ good or bad for backlinks?

Yes definitely get people interacting with your blog. This will get them to share it and ideally build you backlinks organically. Since your blog is (hopefully) tied to your domain, this will only work to improve your SEO efforts!
The best way to do this is via social media. Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus -- develop a presence on there. Find groups and communities that match your niche and get them to remember you and be interested in your postings.
It's all about content! Once you have interesting content, promoting it becomes easy. If you can comment on other people's blogs and have a relevant blog to link back to you will definitely gain readers. Keep in mind those links will most likely be nofollowed so don't just throw a link out there to get a link. Put it out there only if you truly think it adds to the conversation and people will naturally follow it and hopefully link to it themselves.
Good luck!

Great thanks for the advice! I have also started my own blog on my website, what can i do with my blog? Would you recommend to get people commenting on the blog?

Twitter helps too! Follow people in similar industries whether they would be potential clients or not and start participating in their postings. Comment on their blogs, develop a relationship and show them that you can actually provide interesting insight.

I typically go to Google and look up kw's you want to rank for. Take a look at the sites and if you see a site that you could potentially use your content, approach them. Make sure to make the content "useful" to them. Good luck!

Yeah thanks for that! Do you have any idea where I can find bloggers? My business is in the transportation sector in London in the UK.
Thanks

No, I wouldn't not use them. Rule of thumb--if some or all the content looks spammy, it doesn't help you by putting your links there.
Try building relationship with bloggers that you can submit beneficial content for both your sites.

Does .me takes more time to rank than .com?
Hi, our company website is about freight forwarding, and im feared about .me extension they have taken. The location is for Dubai and the website is running google ads with a no-indexed landing page. I have the doubt, that our cargo company based website shipwaves.me is not receiving Google ads attention in that case. Besides, the other confusion is shipwaves.me takes time to rank for the keywords with high search or not other than .com extension. I'm confused why this company has taken, .me extension and anybody got the idea- is this .me is a top-level domain or it takes more time than .com domains.

Malicious backlinks
Hello to everyone! We have identified some weird links that are pointing to our site and we are not sure if they are considered malicious backlinks and we should disavow them. Most of them are directories of websites, the most common one is called "Top million domains by alexa" (you can see an example here: www.besafe.in/domain-list-237). Have you ever seen these kind of links before? Are they causing harm to our site? Thank you so much!

Embedded links/badges
Hi there Just picking up on something Rand said in his blog analysing his predictions for 2014. Rand predicted that Google will publicly acknowledge algorithmic updates targeting...embeddable infographics/badges as manipulative linking practices While this hasn't exactly materialised yet, it has got me thinking. We have a fair few partners linking to us through an embedded badge. This was done to build the brand, but the positives here wouldn't be worth being penalised in search. Does anyone have any further evidence of websites penalised for doing this, or any views on whether removing those badges should be a priority for us? Many thanks

I want to make great content good for link bait 🙂0 -
Negative backlinks
Hi I have heard that penguin penalizes a site for bad backlinks. Do you think that it is true? Do you think that is possible for someone to penalize my website adding my link to some spam website? I'm worried that someone could do it...

Backlinks
When examining our inventory of backlinks (and our competition's), is it more important to look at overall domain authority or page authority where the backlink comes from?

Is it negative to put a backlink into the footer's website of our clients ?
Hello there ! Everything is in the subject of this post but here is the context : we are a web agency and we, among others, build websites for our clients (most of them are shops). Until now, we put a link in their footer, like "developped by MyWebShop". But we don't know if it is bad or not. With only one website we can have like hundred of backlinks at once, but is it good for SEO or not ? Will Google penalize us thinking that is blackhat practices ? Is it better to put our link in the "legal notices" or "disclaimer" part of the websites ? What is the best practice for a lasting SEO ? I hope you understand my question, Thnak you in advance !
