Why Link Spamming Website Coming on First Page Google?
-
As we all already know about link spamming. As per Google Guidelines Link building, Exact Keywords Anchor Link Building is dead now but i am looking most of the website coming on first page in Google doing same exact keywords linking.
I think directory, article, social bookmarking, press release and other link building activity is also dead now.
Matt always saying content is more important but if we will not put any keywords link in content part then how website rank in first page in Google.
Can anybody explain why is website coming on first page because when i am doing same activity for quality links with higher domain authority website then we are affected in Google update.
-
Yes mate i have already checked most of the profile found paid or something link other there are no option to create our profile link.
Only very less website where we can follow us.
-
A mixture of both, i suggest you take a look at your competitors and see what kind of link profiles they have it can be very helpful for working out a good measure.
-
Can you give me 2-3 website example for broad link profile and community website.
We should target no follow website or target only do follow.
-
A broad link profile is great, do some community out reach for design places. A press release can be a good way to let people know you exists (though they will be no follow) optimize your site with meta tags etc.
There are some excellent resources here - http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
(try chapter 7 )
-
Yes but we should create more link portfolio not only directory.
Can you share us which activity can we do for onpage/offpage now a days will be great for us.
-
A few directories in a larger link profile isn't bad per sei but I wouldn't recommend having most of your link portfolio made up of directories & articles.

Hi,
You can and high authority sites do tend to work better but again they need to be relevant, relevancy is the key here if your site is about e.g gardening there is no point in having links from car sites or politic sites etc.
Guest blogging is a bit of a no no now - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/ as is comment spam in blogs of course you can still do some gust blogging for high authority niche sites that are relevant but just not spam across the board blogging.
If you're going to create a blog rather than have 20-30 with thin content I'd work on 1 with really great content that's going to help users make them want to read it and share it.
I recommend you read the guide I posted previously.

Hi Chris Painter,
Thanks for sharing!
I want to know, Can we do directory, article etc.for only high domain authority website for targeting only long tail keywords?
And should we put link on blog website?
Should be create blog on separate 20- 30 website or need to create only one or two then only update content.

Hiya,
I recommend you take a look at -http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Directory, articles social book marking is no longer a good method for link building and if end up with you getting a penalty. It's always good to focus on long tail keywords but that doesn't mean you want any link profile of you have to look over optimized you want it to look natural and naturally most links will be a direct link.
You can put a link where ever you want but be careful as it will look unnatural and get you penalized. You can create blogs that relate to your niche or find a community in the same niche and connect see if there is a link opportunity etc.
Try to work out where a user would find a link to your website helpful e.g if your site is about gardening a gardening blog or forum may be a good start. Directories can be alright but again as long as its in the niche and not spammy.
good luck!

I have analysis more website, they are on first page around 3-4 year not for only short period.
For. Ex. zoomremovals.com.au, mainstreethost.com etc.
As per you can we do directory, article, social bookmarking and other off page activity?
We should link exact keywords or long tail which is good one as per you.
Can we put link any blog, article and other content marketing?
-
Not completely sure I get the question but if a competitor is one first page for black hat site don't worry they may be up there for now but longer term they won't stay up there. You will find that sites like that come and go but never stay long, keep creating good content and working on great link methods that in in Googles guidelines and over time you will stay at the top compared to being there for a week or two.

What can I put on a 404 page?
When it comes to SEO what can I put on a 404 page? I want to add content that actually makes the page useful so visitors will more likely stay on the website. Most pages just have a big image of 404 and a couple sentences saying what happened. I am wondering if Google would like if there was blog suggestions or navigational functions?

Competitor outranking you with link spam. What would be your next steps?
FYI: I've already searched the forums for previous posts on this topic and although some are helpful, they don't tend to have many responses, so I'm posting this again in the hope of more interaction from the community 😉

So can I please ask the community to tell me what course of action you would take, if this was happening to you? We have been ranking in position 1 for a major keyword in our space for the past 18 months. Today I logged into my Moz account and to keyword rankings to find that we have dropped to 2nd. So I placed the competitors website; who's now in 1st position, into OSE and looked under the "Just Discovered" tab. There are 258 newly discovered links, 95% of which use keywords in the anchor text!
So I reviewed the rankings for all of these other keywords being targeted and sure enough they are now dominating the top 1-3 spots for most of them. (some of which we are also attempting to rank for and have subsequently been pushed down the rankings) Their links are made up of: Forum and blog comments - always using anchor text in the links Article's posted on web 2.0 sites (Squidoo, Pen.io, Tumblr, etc) Profile page links Low quality Press Release sites Classified ad sites Bookmarking sites Article Marketing sites Our competitors sell safety solutions into the B2B market yet the topics of some of the sites where these links appear include: t-shirts sports news online marketing anti aging law christian guitars computers juke boxes Of the articles that I quickly scanned, it was clear they had been spun as they didn't read well/make sense in places. So my conclusion is that they have decided to work with a person (can't bring myself to call them an seo company) who have provided them with a typical automated link building campaign using out dated, poor seo practices that are now classified as link spam. No doubt distributed using an automated link publishing application loaded with the keyword rich anchor text links and published across any site that will take them. As far as I was aware, all of the types of links we're supposed to have be penalised by Google's Penguin & Panda updates and yet it seems they are working for them! So what steps would you take next?0 -
Link Building after Google updates!
Hello All, I just wanted to ask the question to start a discussion on link building after the Google Updates. I haven't been very proactive lately with regards to link building due to the updates and not wanting to get penalised!

Backlinks According to Google
Good Morning, Google has just recognized some links going to my site. I used a seo toolbar downloaded from firefox that informed me of the Links according to Google. My question is that them links have been there for ages and Google has only just recognized them. Is there a reason for this? Does Google only show links quarterly or half yearly? Thanks SEO_123

How is this different than Go Daddy Spam?
Out of boredom, I googled up "SEO Company". #1 result is qualifiedimpressions.com. Taking a look at their link profile it seems they are utilizing anchor text on all their clients' websites. Moreover, it appears they have multiple sites for each of their phrases (which they cross link). Qualified Impressions - SEO Company WeBuildRankings.com - SEO Service VisibilitySquad - SEO Companies Some of their clients are rocking multiple anchor text links. How is this not any different than what Go Daddy did recently?

Methods for getting links to my site indexed?
What are the best practices for getting links to my site indexed in search engines. We have been creating content and acquiring backlinks for the last few months. They are not being found in the back link checkers or in the Open Site Explorer. What are the tricks of the trade for imporiving the time and indexing of these links? I have read about some RSS methods using wordpress sites but that seems a little shady and i am sure google is looking for that now. Look forward to your advice.
