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.

Subtle line of asking links for money/service/benefits
Hello here, I am putting down a link building strategy according to the latest "good practices" and Google recommendations, but I find myself often confused. For example, I'd like to implement the technique suggested by Rand on his article below: https://moz.com/blog/headsmacking-tip-1-link-requests-in-order-confirmation-emails But if you look at the comments, a user suggests to "ask for links in exchange of discounts", and everyone there applaud him for the idea (Rand included). But, wait a second... am I the only one realizing that now days Google discourage to ask for links for "money, services, or any other kind of 'offered' benefit"? So.. where to draw the line here? Here are other examples that I am not sure are "safe" in link building: 1. Ask for links in exchange of a free Membership on a site (where usually a Membership is sold for a price) 2. Ask for links in exchange of exposure (isn't this a sort of "link exchange"?) 3. Ask for link in exchange of "anything else you can think of", even if necessarily doesn't involve money (i.e. for a "certified site badge", for a free e-book, or anything else) I'd really like to know your thoughts on this very sensitive issue. Thank you in advance to anyone for helping me to understand.

Tiered back links
Playing catch up with latest SEO techniques and wanted to ask the community what opinion is with generated tiered back links. For example, in one month having - 50 tier one links, 250 tier two links and 1000 tier three links generated within articles forums, social networks, guestbooks etc. In my view this is blackhat, my question is - is this still acceptable? or will it be damaging my domain? Thank you.

Has my site been penalized by google
Hi all I have noticed a sudden drop in rankings for most of my keywords on kerryblu ,co,uk and was thinking the site may have been manually penalized by google. I have not received any notification of this in webmaster tools but can't think of any other reason for the loss of rankings. I have searched the web for info on this but can't find a definite answer. Is there any way of knowing for sure. At the time of the crash the only real change I made was adding google adsense to my blog. Could this be responsible. Thanks for looking.
