Sponsoring a show/play
-
Hey,
How does it work with sponsorships and paid back links?
I have a lawyer website, and I know lots of people who do plays and play shows.
I could easily sponsor a band for like $100 and get a link on the page.
Is this allowed? I could even write stuff on their page to make it more relevant.
let me know, thanks.

Hi there
Here is Google's resource on link schemes - I suggest you read it.
I would also suggest (based on Google's resource here) that you make this link nofollow.
Since this is a sponsorshipesque link and you're a local business (if you're not, don't do this), then make sure you take the proper steps.
Where would this link live exactly? Content? Sidebar? Ad?
Let me know - thanks so much!

It will hurt your site and theirs. It doesn't matter if your only suggesting plays and optimizing for them well. Plays and Lawyers don't add up, unless it's a blog and your recommending something.

Why are good authority links to my site not showing?
Hi, about a month ago, I obtained a couple of good authority external links into my client's site. One of these is from a local government site, ie a .gov.uk website, which has a Domain Authority of 99 according to OSE and a page authority of 67. However, these links are not showing up in SEOmoz or OSE and the domain authority of my client's site has not changed. Why do the links not show? Surely a period of 5 weeks is long enough for these links to be indexed?

Link building tools/sites
I am looking for a way to share my content in multiple locations to build back links without having to upload one at a time per location. For example- if i write an article and i upload it to ezine articles and then post it over on my blog- it will then post over on my twitter and facebook and linked in. However- how i can also get this article with back links into shared sites, bookmark sites, and other locations online to help build my inbound marketing for back links. I'm trying to find a way to save time while building out the links.
