Best way to build backlinks
-
Hey guys,
I was wondering what is the best way to build back links ? I have all the read moz's articles regarding this and I know the crucial parts are creating content, engaging users via social media etc. What I am interested in knowing is whether guest posting is still a solution to create that domain authority you need to rank ? I've spoken with some people that told me guest posting is out of date and will not pay off using it. By using guest posting of course I relate to creating unique content and valuable to the user.
Thanks,
Andrei

Hi Don,
I felt it was best to re-prhase the question since I was lacking a concrete answer. The answers in the previous question have been of great value to me. Thanks again for your willingness to answer my questions.
Best,

Hi Ryan,
Thanks again for your answer, I appreciate it. Normally when you create a Link Building campaign for one of your websites what steps do you take in creating an optimal link building campaign ? For example, how do you prioritise your link ( e.g Social, Guest post etc. ). I know there are many metrics behind google's ranking system, but I wanted to know out of your experience how would you handle this ? I am trying to rank for 'outdoor fitness' on GoogleUK and my website is www.norwelloutdoorfitness.co.uk.
Thanks again,
Andrei

HI Andrei,
You received a lot of good responses the first time you asked the question, http://moz.com/community/q/link-building-still-effective
Do you feel that it was not adequately answered? Is there something more specific we can help with?
There is no magic wand for building backlinks. Some times the hard way and the right way are the same way.
Good luck,
Don

I think if guest posting becomes a tactic that is done on thin content websites or blogs that reproduce a lot of duplicate content then it should be avoided. However, guest posting in the sense of a book author writing something like a review of short story collections on a site outside their own is very common, or an article written in an industry-relevant news site by another company or leader in the field is also quite common. Both of these examples and many others are guest posting in the positive sense. But they take having a site or work or product that generates interest in and of itself. You should be able to guest post on a site that isn't specifically designed for guest posting, i.e. your basic pitch should be, "Hello (editor, analyst, reporter, etc.) we (wrote the ABC book, run unique XYZ site, are researching 123) and have recently done some work into your site's specific focus. Please let me know if you'd be interested in sharing something written by us with your readers." Ideally your guest post is accepted because you're advanced in your field, versus being an SEO tactic.

Are Old Backlinks Hurting Or Helping?
I have a ton of old backlinks for products that I no longer carry but I have redirected them to other pages within the site. I was told by an SEO expert that these links are hurting me rather than helping because people click on the links and then leave. These backlinks are from reputable blogs, news sources etc and my spam score is only 1%. Are these links really hurting me?

Link building with PDFs
I created a manual for a popular piece of equipment and placed it, as a PDF-file, on my website. The PDF contains a clickable link to the root domain of my website. Other websites have downloaded the PDF and put it on their own website, hosting it themselves. Since Google indexes PDFs, does the link in the PDF count as a regular 'link' from an external website, and does it have comparable value? Can't find any thoughts or studies about this anywhere.

Best way to structure a service area page with many locations to maximize internal links to them?
Currently our service area page (http://www.njlimocarservice.com/services.html) very sloppily lists many of the towns we serve in multiple counties - over 50 approx (scroll down). They have been placed that way so there is links to them from one of the subpages directly linked from the root domain. I am now attempting to make it pretty and organized with my designer. I intend to maintain a link to each individual town/landing page for SEO purposes to keep it close to root domain. My questions is how to best structure this. I don't want to list by county because some people don't know what county the town is in. However an alphabetical list may be overkill as there is so many. The other option is to get a search form or dropdown list on there but how will my landing pages be recognized by crawlers if there is no internal links from my root domain? Eventually we plan to expand further so what happens when we add 100+ landing pages? What will then happen to my internal link juice? Thanks!
