Will the links coming from an article in certain BLOG / NEWS SITE become a GOOD BackLink?
-
Such as, if i wrote a ymoz, and suddenly the articles is accepted, will the link to our site coming out of that Article Post increased our SEO Standing?
Another example would be http://active.tutsplus.com , yesterday i have successfully pitched a tutorial idea, and they told me to write it so that they can published it , and they also promised that i will be able to put my site link (dofollow) ... But will these link be a Good BackLink that will increase our site's SEO Standing?
The last one is exactly the same link , but this time coming from a News Site , such as http://teknologi.kompasiana.com/internet/2011/06/09/website-full-flash-dengan-inovasi-hebat-karya-indonesia/ , in this article (kompasiana is a very wellknown site news in Indonesia, in fact KOMPAS is the biggest newspaper firm in Indonesia) , our site is being featured , there is a link coming out of that article (DOFOLLOW), but will that link make our site much more SEO Friendly?
Again please enlighten me

I completely agree with what you just said but I assume that snippet alone needs to be that....amazing, to be picked up by other, right? I mean there is not much you can share in a snippet, a few sentences maybe an image what about videos? Have you tried link building using any type of video?
Could you share your homepage metrics, just PR, PA and DA.

Here is how I operate...
All of the content that I produce is posted on my own site. I never syndicate articles, never use press releases, never do guest blog posts. I believe that those activities feed existing competitors and create new competitors.
I mentioned reddit, slashdot, digg and stumble because only a snippet about my content is posted there. Anybody who wants to see it comes to my own site.
Rewording one of your questions.....
Q: What would I do when an article on my own site does not rank as high as I hope it will immediately after publishing it.
A: I immediately start writing a new article on another subject. In other words I do nothing... or I wait.... and when I check back a few months later that article is usually higher in the SERPs... a year or so later it is often ranking really well.
If you can create best-on-the-web content it can succeed without SEO.
These are not articles that you write in an hour, or a morning or even a day. I might spend a week or more with help from a graphics person making illustrations and taking photos, and with some help from a researcher.
Q: What if, the articles are not high quality and you just want some backlinks...
A: I don't want low quality articles, even as press releases. They would be more valuable to me representing my competitor.
-
Indeed it does but, I remember you saying a while ago that it is better to post it first on your own website (speaking of high quality content). What would you do when your own website does not rank as high as you wish to use it for spreading the word about your own press releases? Use the ones above that you just mentioned? What about spending some money and push them through some high quality Press Release websites? What if, the articles are not high quality and you just want some backlinks...
-
If you have that amazing content just toss it out to sites like reddit, slashdot, digg, stumbleupon. If its amazing that should be like throwing gasoline on a fire and result in some likes, links, tweets, etc. Amazing content does that.
-
Wouldn't be fair to say that even if your content is absolutely amazing, high quality content, the website that it is published on has to have a relative high PA and DA? How are the search engines going to rank your content if the site itself is not ranking well? How are they (SE) going to ever find it if your are not already among the top 10?
-
If you have lots of very high quality content it will attract natural links faster than a human linkbuilder. And the quality of those links will be higher than what a human linkbuilder would acquire.
This will not work if your content is low quality or mediocre.
-
and without linkbuilding your site can still do well in SERP?
-
I post all of my content on my own site, I don't give any of it away by syndication and guest posting... and forgot about linkbuilding a long time ago.
-
Hmmm, thanks a lot for the suggestion. in fact currently i am writing a good tutorial that is original (and hopefuly a good tutorial) for many sites..
and actually my website ikt.co.id , is a site that is created with "Good Content" in mind (if you dont believe me just try go there.. it is full flash, but it has a very special and unique features, you can open the site even from your cellphone or any other devices that have no flash player installed in it)
Sigh... i guess, because i am not sure what is good anymore.. i will do all of them
...1. do try to write a good content
2. active in forums (especially the one that allow me to post a dofollow links) xD
3. sigh, i really cant help this, perhaps ... (i will also employ the use of those services like backlinkmonsters.com ), and if the services proved to be a disaster, i will definitely not do that anymore ... but unless proven otherwise, i really cant stop myself not to use it :((

which webinar? O.o; , sorry i am very new here, can you give me the link where i can get information about this webinar?
-
A "nofollow" link can benefit you by creating a more diverse backlink profile. In other words, having a good amount of "dofollow" links is obviously very beneficial, but "nofollows" are a natural part of the web world, and having a few of those won't hurt, and will help diversify your link profile in the eyes of Google.
-
Rand went into this in a little detail in a webinar - you will get benefit
-
I can tell that you are a very energetic person who can write copious content.
I would spend the next several months writing My Message and spend zero time worrying about links.
You received the same advice here from iNet SEO.
-
Okay thanks for the answer xD .. it helps me understand what kind of website i want to get a backlink from
... again thanks a lot -
, you sure about this?? hmm , come to think of it , perhaps you are right.... after all no one know the exact way of how google do stuffs (hence the "Google works in mysterious ways" is totally true). -
the problem is , the competitor website is just simply getting a lot of links, even the one from spam site... and their SERP is nothing to be laugh at
those site, rank #1 when i googled "bikin website murah" , and i am trying to analyze here, why they are doing so good? and the answer is definitely not what they have in their site, it is definitely on the backlinks they have built for themselves . I have even downloaded the CSV of all backlinks to their site, and well 95% of them are from spam site.. and yet they are doing so good
If you were me, in this case, what would you do? :((

Relevant simply means that if you have a web design site you might want to try to avoid a link from www.howtoflyaplane.com because that's not relevant to your industry at all. News sites are definitely relevant however, especially if the article contains information about your industry. You really want links that seem natural, if there is an article on ANY website that is about web design, and it links to your website, that is a very relevant, natural link.
-
It seems that the focus of your writing in this question and another that you posted this morning was all about "getting my links". I am impressed with the amount of time that you are spending trying to understand the value of the links and the effort that you are willing to spend to acquire them - without knowing their value.
You certainlyi have no problem writing a lot of content - which is the big problem for most webmasters. Maybe if you started writing for the purpose of spreading Your Message and forget about writing for links you will have greater success. Think about it.
-
There is more at work now with links so even no-follows will benefit you - Google works in many mysterious ways
-
how can a No-follow benefit me? if the Search Engine dont even count them as a backlink to my site?
or am i missing something? xD -
thanks for your answer, those 3 sites questioned in this topic is a very good site with an extremely good metrics
. Some body does say "Relevant" , can anyone help me how relevant can a site be?for example, my site is about web development, so does that mean that NEWS Site (from kompasiana.com) , not relevant to us? so does that mean the active.tutsplus.com is not relevant to our website (Because they are a tutorial site) ?
Sorry , i am quite new with the terms "Relevant" in this industry
-
News sites, Article Posts, and guest writing (i.e. the tutorial) are all very good ways of obtaining links. The thing you would really have to look at would be the page and domain metrics. In other words, what is the PageRank, what is the Domain Authority, Moztrust, Page Authority, things of that nature. Those metrics you can use as clues to help determine how useful that link will be.
If your articles are unique and aren't spread around by free article submission software and things of that nature, they can be very useful when it comes to obtaining a link.
Truthfully, those sound like good linking opportunities, but definitely look at the sites metrics to determine how big of an impact that link will have on your SEO.
-
Dont worry about do-follow and no-follow as both will be of benefit to you. But as Aaron has already said, keep anything posted on relevant sites.
-
If the sites that are coming from are authoritative, relevant, and trusted... yes.

Moving content form Non-performing site to performing site - wihtout 301 Redirection
I have 2 different websites: one have good amount of traffic and another have No Traffic at all. I have a website that has lots of valuable content But no traffic. And I want to move the content of non-performing site to performing site. (Don't want to redirect) My only concern is duplicate content. I was thinking of setting the pages to "noindex" on the original website and wait until they don't appear in Google's index. Then I'd move them over to the performing domain to be indexed again. So, I was wondering If it will create any copied content issue or not? What should i have to take care of when I am going to move content from one site to another?

Backlink Indexing - will this technique hurt or help?
So I came across this idea on YouTube: Indexing your backlinks. I understand its not enough to just have google crawl your pages - you want them indexed. So, if you create backlinks on say a blog or social profile, will it benefit you to have them submitted to other popular blogs, news / pr sites, video channels - of which may be unrelated - for the sole purpose of getting them not just crawled but indexed? There are SEO companies that I have seen that claim they do exactly that (publish your backlinks all over the web - making backlinks for backlinks) but in reality is this a good thing or a bad thing? Could this help rankings or hurt them?

Link Building vs. Straight Earning Links Discussion
Hello, I'd like to start a discussion on link building outreach techniques vs. just building a good website with good 10X content. I don't like to receive unsolicited emails in my inbox, so why should the people in my industry? Also, I've seen plenty of evidence of 10X content soaring without link building outreach. But link building isn't dead of course, so can you tell me your personal experiences either way and the ethics of what you do? I especially want to hear if you've had luck with just building good websites and being successful based on the content itself, but an open discussion of either side is welcome. Leaning towards just building good websites and letting the Google algo do it's thing. Would love to hear your experiences either way. Thanks.

Spam signals from old company site are hurting new company site, but we can't undo the redirect.
My client was forced to change its domain name last year (long story). We were largely able to regain our organic rankings via 301-redirects. Recently, the rankings for the new domain have begun to plummet. Nothing specific took place that could have caused any ranking declines on the new site. However, when we analyze links to the OLD site, we are seeing a lot of link spam being built to that old domain over recent weeks and months. We have no idea where these are coming from but they appear to be negatively impacting our new site. We cannot dismantle the redirects as the old site has hundreds, if not thousands, of quality links pointing to it, and many customers are accustomed to going to that home page. So those redirects need to stay in place. We have already disavowed all the spam we have found on the old Search Console. We are continuing to do so as we find new spam links. But what are we supposed to do about this spam negatively impacting our new site? FYI we have not received any messages in the search console.

Multiple sites in the same niche (Should we redirect these to our Main Site)
I will keep this short and sweet. We have some websites in the same niche area but want to focus only on our newest site (basically all the information that was being posted on the other sites will now be part of our new site) This will save us a lot of time and increase our focus on 1 entity. Should we redirect these website with a 301 redirect to the specific categories that they focus on in the new site? or should we redirect to the main domain.

Rank drop ecommerce site
Hello, We're going to get an audit, but I would like to hear some ideas on what could cause our ranking drop. There's no warnings in GWT. We deleted 17 or so blogs (that had no backlinks pointing to these blogs and were simply for easy links) last summer thinking that they weren't white hat so we had to start eliminating them. At the same time, we eliminated a few sitewide paid links that were really strong. With all of this deletion, our keywords started to drop. For example, our main keyword went from first to third/fourth. With the deletions, our keywords dropped immediately a couple of spots, then with no more deletions, all of our keywords have been slowly dropping over the last seven months or so. Right now we are at the bottom of the first page for that same main keyword, and other keywords look similar. We have 70 linking root domains, of which: 15 are blogs with no backlinks that were created simply for the purpose of easy links. We didn't delete them all yet because of the immediate ranking drop when we deleted the last ones. One PR5 site has links to our home page scattered throughout it's lists of resources for people in different states in the US. It doesn't look like a standard paid link site, but it has many paid links in it's different pages. One PR4 site has our logo with another paid link logo at the bottom of one of it's pages. There are 2 other paid links from two PR4 sites that look editorial. There are other links on the sites to other websites that are paid. All links for these 2 sites look editorial. That's all the bad stuff. Other things that could be causing drop in rank - > Our bread crumbs are kind of messed up. We have a lot of subcategory pages that rel=cononical to main categories in the menu. We did this because we had categories that were exactly the same. So you'll drill down on a category page and you'll end up on a main category. To the average user, it seems perfectly fine. Our on-site SEO still has a few pages that repeat words in the titles and h1 tags several times (especially our #1 main keyword), titles similar to something like: running shoes | walking shoes | cross-training shoes where a word is repeated 2 or 3 times. Also, there are a few pages that are more keyword stuffed than we would like in the content. Just a couple of paragraphs but 2 keywords are dispersed in them three times each. The keywords in this content is not in different variations, it's exactly the keyword. We've still got a few URLs that are keywords stuffed with like 3 different keywords. We may have many 404 errors (due to some mistakes we made with the URLs in our cart) - if Google hasn't deindexed them all then we could have dozens of 404s on important category pages. But nothing is showing up in GWT. Our sitemap does not include any broken links. Google is confused about our branding it seems. I'm adding branding to the on-site SEO but right now Google often shows keywords as our branding when Google changes the way the title tag is displayed sometimes in the search engines. We don't link out to anyone. We have lots of content, almost no duplicate content, and some authoritative very comprehensive articles. Your thoughts on what to do to get our rankings back up?

Bad link backs out of my control
I have a big concern with my website. Recently I have been combing through the back links that I have been able to find associated with my web domain. Almost half of the links- 52 links- are from kinder-host. They are from what looks like could be valid sources, like babies-r-is.com/kinder-host.com or babies.kinder-host.com/page/6 etc. but they are junk. Some of these links are from articles I've written that are ripped off and placed on these websites along with my links. Some of the sites I can't even find the link but its there somewhere. Another 40 of the links are from attracta.com and although I can tell I have links on there to my website as well, I don't even see the link on the page and it is not related to my website. It's another junk site. So, I have bad link backs and no control over it. My understanding is this is potentially very harmful to my website! What can I do about it?

Duplicate Articles
We submit articles to a magazine which either get posted as text or in a flash container. Management would like to post it to our site as well. I'm sure this has been asked a million times but is this a bad thing to do? Do I need to a rel=canonical tag to the articles? Most of the articles posted to that other site do not contain a link back to our site.
