How would you link build to this page?
-
Hi Guys,
I'm looking to build links to a commercial page similar to this:
https://apolloblinds.com.au/venetian-blinds/
How would you even create quality links (not against Google TOS) to a commercial page like that?
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Cheers.

I agree with the suggestion to make the page be a helpful reference, with sales being almost a side aspect of the page. My current favorite website for examples is https://www.webstaurantstore.com/guide/541/types-of-table-tops-and-bases.html. This page gives a lot of helpful information when selecting a table top and base for a restaurant (which bases are easy to clean around, but might take up more space, and so on). They do have links to product pages at the end, but the selling is not the main focus (yet I imagine it's still fairly effective). That's something other sites can link to that has good information, and you can get links from good sites.

You can also write about Venetian Blinds in a blog, link to the /venetian-blinds page in the blog post, and then share the blog post on social media and/or with influencers in the interior decorating space (as Donald mentioned above). For blog post topic examples:
"Top 10 Venetian Blinds of 2017"
"Venetian Blinds vs. ____ Blinds"
"How Venetian Blinds Changed My Home"
"9 Things You Don't Know About Venetian Blinds"You get the picture lol. Writing helpful, non-salesy content on your website's blog and then promoting/sharing it is what I would recommend. You can also go the infographics or video routes, which are great, but just takes more time and expertise. Hope this helps, best of success!

I think a good start would be to reach out to interior decorations/decorators blogs and websites. Maybe home improvement bloggers. Look at your competitors... where are their backlinks coming from? Open Site Explorer can help. Just insert the competitors url.

Hey there,
- Go to MozPro/SEMrush/Majestic/Ahrefs
- Do the backlink analysis of your competitors (choose 5-10)
- See from which pages do they have backlinks
- See the anchor texts, type of content, etc. of those pages
- To start with, try to build backlinks in the similar way
Cheers,
Martin

Why does Google display the home page rather than a page which is better optimised to answer the query?
I have a page which (I believe) is well optimised for a specific keyword (URL, title tag, meta description, H1, etc). yet Google chooses to display the home page instead of the page more suited to the search query. Why is Google doing this and what can I do to stop it?

Unpaid Followed Links & Canonical Links from Syndicated Content
I have a user of our syndicated content linking to our detailed source content. The content is being used across a set of related sites and driving good quality traffic. The issue is how they link and what it looks like. We have tens of thousands of new links showing up from more than a dozen domains, hundreds of sub-domains, but all coming from the same IP. The growth rate is exponential. The implementation was supposed to have canonical tags so Google could properly interpret the owner and not have duplicate syndicated content potentially outranking the source. The canonical are links are missing and the links to us are followed. While the links are not paid for, it looks bad to me. I have asked the vendor to no-follow the links and implement the agreed upon canonical tag. We have no warnings from Google, but I want to head that off and do the right thing. Is this the right approach? What would do and what would you you do while waiting on the site owner to make the fixes to reduce the possibility of penguin/google concerns? Blair

Is it even possible to have a link building strategy?
I've been learning all about the SEO industry since starting my own website and l am truly baffled as to how to even begin generating inbound links. Does anyone have any tips or ideas? Every article l read swears that by generating good content, other sites are going to link to your own naturally. According to many, the best sites to link to your own are related sites that publish similar content to your own. If you are business however, these sites can only be competitors. Why on earth would a competitor want to link to another competitors website? Even if you launched a email marketing campaign notifying other organisations in your industry about an article you have written regarding the latest market news.......they may click and read it.......but are they honestly going to contact their web designer and tell them they must mention this article on their site!?!?!?!!? I would love to here various thoughts this matter. Have l got it completely wrong?

Structure: Should an eCommerce blog have main menu links to each of the store category pages?
Hi, Should my eCommerce site's blog have menu links to the store's category pages? (like in the store itself) The meaning is that every blog post page will have links to category pages that are not related and probably weakens the in-text relevant links. The other option is to have menu links only to the blog category pages and in-article links to the relevant store category pages (maybe add menu button "Go to Store"). Thanks

Scarce niche websites for link building
Hello! A small company from Mexico that offers cleaning services for home & businesses wants to rank on the first page of Google. The Good: Every month they give away stuff (discounts and/or a free service) and they also participate in campaigns that support non-profitable organizations & charity. So there is plenty of material for me to build some backlinks and to create some interesting content. Their competitors have 0 SEO. I have been doing my homework and none of their competitors websites that are ranking on the top 5 are doing any kind of SEO. But they have had their website for a long time and they probably have a decent amount of traffic per day. Open Site Explorer shows minimal to no websites pointing to them. Google Adwords has increased their sales. They are using virtually nothing as budget and it is helping, but they want organic SEO. The Bad: Blogs seem to be dead in Mexico. And that is one of my strongest ways to create backlinks. I usually get a blogger to write about the company I'm working for to create backlinks and works like a charm in countries were SEO is prehistoric. Usually it takes me very little effort to accomplish a website to rank very well in this kind of scenario, but I'm having trouble this time. The Something: I have been able to boost their rankings with basic SEO in a month but I'm stuck in page #2-5 on their most important keywords. The Ugly: I'm out of ideas. And their budget isn't good enough to apply paid strategies. Any ideas?
