Still worth it to get listed on "resources" pages
-
Hello,
I'm a new moz user who handles the online marketing for www.griefrecoverymethod.com. We provide grief support groups and 1-1 work as well as professional training for caregivers.We are on some websites as a grief resource, but not as many as I think we can be on. We have never attempted to reach out on a large scale to get added to sites.
Is this type of link building worth a large campaign for us? Or has the ship sailed on link building with resource pages.
I'm fairly new to all of this so any guidance at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for checking out our site. Good point on the sharing buttons. We have some minimal options on each blog but that is about it. I have a hover type social share on my to do list for sure. I will looking into "share this".

Thanks for this info. Seems like a great plan. I will look into building a strategy to hit all of these points.

I like your site (and agree about the DSM-5). Pardon me for not directly answering your question or if you've thought about this already; I notice you have your own Face Book and Twitter pages linked top right, but I can't see any social sharing buttons for people to share your content on places like their own Facebook profile to friends, Google+, Pinterest and the like.
Search engines rank social factors, they are now one of the main pillars of SEO, ergo, when someone shares your content that's like a link. I use "ShareThis" for my social share buttons, they have a range of styles. They have a hover button on the left side of their page here http://sharethis.com/ that one might look good on your site without affecting the presentation or useability.

I agree with Chris on this! You should get links from resources pages but good link profile comes from the diversification of links so if the links are only coming from 1 kind of link building tactic thin might hurt you in the future... I believe, with this you should use 404 link building, infographics, guest blogging, links within the content, manual outreaching and more...In order to have an organic and diversified link profile that ideally search engines are looking for!

Thanks for the advice. We are blogging regularly as well and I'm trying to develop some other link building strategies.
I would mainly be approaching sites with good domain authority like universities, hospitals, counseling sites etc. We have a good reputation in the community so I'm hopeful that will help us get on some quality resource pages.

You should be trying to get your site listed as a resource on those pages. But: it can't be your only strategy, as a link profile predominantly of one kind of link is not considered ideal and, be sure verify that the links on those resource pages you're looking for are well curated--there are tons of "resources" pages out there that are worthless heaps of crap links. A small percentage of reciprocal links are OK.

My site is linked from over 900 "The Globe"-domains - disavow or not?
Hi! As some of you may be familiar with, there is a giant spam-network with the same design and same page title on all domains: "The Globe - The world's most visited web pages". For example: theglobe.at

www.internet-search.us I've now discovered that over 900 of these spam-domains link to my site. My plan was of course to disavow them all, but Google is explicit on telling me to be careful. «Only disavow if you are certain that the links are damaging to your rankings». And to be honest, I'm not sure. Also: it seems drastic to disavow almost a thousand pages. I'm afraid to mess something up. What would you do?3 -

On-Page E-commerce Site Optimization
Hello everyone! Just started on a new job as in house SEO and PPC but it is also my first job as such, got little experience and for what I know the site needs a lot of work in terms of optimization. I would like to ask some help and some opinions about what I think should be done in order to rank higher because at the moment the highest ranking page doesn't go higher than the third page for general but high traffic volume keywords. All the titles tag are too long, some of them are up to 100 characters The meta tag isn't optimized properly to attract people and get clicks the content on the product pages is laid out badly and there aren't many keywords a lot of duplicate content there are little inbound links there isn't a section for content such as a news page, a blog or anything like that which makes link building even harder Here my challenges: Create well optimized product, category , subcategory pages to improve also the PPC landing pages Improve the rankings at least to get on the first page for general keywords Choose the right keywords to optimize the site for increase the number of inbound links. I also have to manage adwords and given my little experience I can't seem to prioritize things so any suggestions would be really appreciated. Also if you don't mind to take a look at the site and leave me comments on things that I should improve, I'd be grateful . The main problem also is the niche I work in is not the best, I know nothing about it which makes things worse. repsole.com Thank you for reading Oscar

Do people think it is worth setting up a twylah.com page? Does it have value in adding link juice and content from our tweets?

What pages to nofollow?
We are doing a homepage redesign on our site and as I was going through the code I noticed no links are nofollow links. We have pages such as policies, contact us, links, about us and FAQ that we are not really concerned if anyone visits or if they are indexed. Would it be smart to nofollow these links? Also what other types of links would you recommend we no follow? We would like to get as much link juice as possible to our top categories, but don't want necessary pages to get forgotten. Also, do links higher up on the page get more link juice than items on the bottom of the page? Any knowledge or suggestions on the topic is greatly appreciated!
