So I have a site that does lawyer lead gen and I'm trying to make link magnets.
I know a lot about certain types of internet marketing. Unfortunately not SEO.
If I make a blog about what Lawyers should know about say, new adwords changes or something like that, and then get links from PPC type blogs, would that help?
What if I made a blog about top movies with lawyers in them or something like that, and just got links from non lawyer sites.
Is that worth while?
Let me know.

Negative, your best bet is to no rely on building links but useful, authentic content. Mentioning portals with great value and like minded vertical. Then once posted - mention them socially and through time - they and or other like minded sites will begin to reference you. Now, this does leave you open to the issue of reciprocal links - but algorithmically speaking - we may stimulate the 3 pro-dominant social back links - facebook, twitter, and google + ( while it lasts ;o)
What if I made a blog about top movies with lawyers in them or something like that, and just got links from non lawyer sites.
Once again, don't put your efforts in just link building - if it makes sense and you have done your SEO keywords analysis correctly - cater it to fit that market.
Most importantly - time is the most precious commodity in a URL's value.
Is that worth while?
I have many lead gen type sites and built them with knowledge of knowing they would take 8+ months to begin to gain traction and attention.
Hope this helps

Hi there
To me, the movies with lawyers in them idea is fun, but is that really something your users are going to want to read? You want to develop content based on research and what your users are searching for.
When you say PPC type blogs, what do you mean? Do you mean paid links? I would be extremely careful about that and make sure you adhere to Google's guidelines.
Hope this helps - good luck!

How much important is the connection between content and backlink relevancy?
My question is about the connection between web page content and backlink relevancy, how much it is important? Let’s have an example: If I publish a guest post about “cell phone model review” and get a link back to my website which is on the subject of “cell phone monitoring”. Now my question is: Is this a relevant and good quality backlink? As content is about “cell phone Model Review” while the backlink is about “cell phone Monitoring”, How Google would take this as if; 1- Anchor text is “cell phone monitoring” 2- Anchor text is URL based

Business.com still relevant(after all the recent updates)
Just curious if paying for a business.com link is still relevant at all. I cancelled my yahoo paid directory listing after researching on here. Can put the $300 to better use elsewhere. Just curious if business.com is now not the best use of money either. Thanks! Aaron

Which Article Directories are still relevant?
Hi, I know Article Directories are not valued as high as they once were and many took a hit from Google. But are there any Article Directories that are still worth posting content on? Thanks!

Should Penguin makes me question all reciprical links, even relevant ones?
Prior to Penguin, I had begun a link building campaign of sorts for a tourism bureau. All it was designed to do was leverage a wealth of relevant link opportunities that were right under our noses...the bureau's own members. These restaurants, hotels, attractions, etc are extremely relevant web sites with respect to the tourism bureau's target and niche. The links were to be in the form of image badges stating "Proud member of..." with brand-only alt text and title tags. I will focus on keeping these links a reasonable percentage of the overall domains linking into the site, I will vary the alt text throughout, and cultivate the links slowly over a 5-month period. But since the bureau's site already drives traffic to these individual member sites, the links we cultivate will end up being reciprocal. Even though they are natural in the purpose they serve, should we be worried, and consider abandoning the program?

Relevance or Authority for Links
Which one do you weigh more than the other? I prefer high-authority sites over low-authority but relevant sites/pages personally. From my experience, non-relevant'authoritative' websites/pages tend to have a bigger impact than 'relevant' websites/pages. What do you think? What is your experience?

The quality of links is measured by website relevancy to my business?
In Open Site Explorer links are being valued with Domain Authority and page Authority. My question is if you measure somehow the relevancy of the website with the business of the website to which the links are going? I have learned that an important part of the value of links is the relevancy of the website with my business. I am seeing for example a link from a children website to a car related website as very much valued. I dont see very much relevancy with both so I wonder you take this into account.
