Building on specific keywords
-
Hi Guys,
I'm will be building on specific keywords for my site and I'm thinking of doing some article marketing & I would like some advise, please.
I'm going to write 10 300 word articles and within each article I will have 2 anchor text links going back to my site. To reinforce this I will be pinging the articles once completed. I will be submitting the articles to ezine, go articles etc.
Advise and some other suggestions as to best practice for building on specific keywords would be appreciated, thank you.

Doesn't the internet have enough 300 word "average" articles? Do you really think any of these articles will benefit any users?
How about take your time and write one amazing and helpful article. Search your topic in Google and examine the results from the top 10 sites. Now write an article that is better then all of them. When your article is complete, publish it and know that you made the internet a better place but providing an informative, helpful article that was better then anything else already in existence.
After your article is complete, go out and let the world know about it. Join communities which are relevant to your keyword and, when appropriate, link to your article in a helpful way. Your site will be better for it, and if it is truly a great article then you will attract links, social awareness and all the benefits.

I would think it would be more worthwhile to write these articles, and then post them on your site, rather than running around submitting them to different sites. If you write interesting and unique content, people will start to follow you and come to you to see what you have to say. Start getting links and tweets about your articles, and voila, your sites rankings will increase.
Doing things like submitting articles at a bunch of different sites is becoming more and more transparent to Google. They're onto this kind of thing, especially if you're submitting the same articles to different sites. This was somewhat mentioned in the SEOMoz post yesterday (see here). If I'm reading this correctly, you're going to be building a large truncated pagerank, which is a spam signal to the search engines...
I'd focus on writing interesting, unique articles, and work on linkbuilding to them at your site, as opposed to posting them elsewhere.

Looking for Resources for Broken backlink Building With My Team
I've been doing some reading on broken backlink building but have not had much success with implementing a fine tuned process with my team. I've already read the moz post about broken backlink building. I've also used the www.<a>brokenlinkbuilding</a><a>.com</a> tool by citation labs but found it to be kind of clunky. Could have just been me though : ). Any helpful resources would be appreciated to automate the process better?

Do you have PA and DA minimums for link building outreach?
Hi all! I'm putting together a list of sites I want to attack for link building. I'm looking at my competitors while also seeking specific sites I know would work well to link to us. My question is, since this is very time-consuming, do you have a minimum PA and/or DA that you require in order to perform manual link-building outreach. For example, if a site has a DA below X and PA below X, what would X have to be for you to not consider it worth your time. I'm just trying to gauge where my efforts will be best spent and trying to get some benchmarks. Thanks!

Showing For Long Tail Keywords - Not Targeted?
Hello, Is it normal for Organic traffic to show for keywords or phrases that I am not even targeting? All of this traffic spiked within a couple days and I cant figure out why? I ve been building backlinks, doing all the correct things. Just took me by surprise. Typically when you begin showing organically is it usually a slow progression? Thanks so much!

Two link building proposals, which one is better?
Hi there, Our site has a DA of 73, MozRank 5.40, MozTrust 5.88, and over 45,000 external links. We haven't done any offsite SEO before, we got to where we are today organically. We're thinking about hiring a link building firm to help increase our rankings and we've received two proposals. Firm A offered to build us 30 links from DA 50+ sites over 3 months. The anchor text will most likely just be our domain name. Firm B offered to build us 90 links from PR2+ sites over 3 months. They have control over the anchor text. Given our site's profile, which proposal makes more sense for us? Would either of these initiatives move the needle for us? Thanks.

Keywords Ranking Secret?
When I searched "long dresses" in Google.com, and found the following page is ranked on top 10 http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=long+summer+dresses But there is no back link pointing to this page, so why does this company manage to rank high for such a competitive keyword without link building? Any opinions?

Building Links to Exact Match Domains
What are the pros and cons having exact match domain and how can you create a brand name and build backlinks? Say we have a domain personalizedbirthdaygifts.com We are quite stuck with what anchor text we need to use and how do we vary it? I've heard that we have to stay away from using commercial keywords as anchor text heavily. We have to also use our brand name. And here we get stuck as we don't have a brand name. In this case Our brand name should be personalized birthday gifts but this is also commercial keyword. I have seen before similar websites droped from ranking because they have commercial keywords in their domain and most of their backlink anchor texts are commercial. If I had a website called twentyfive.com selling birthday gifts it would be a lot easier. But when you have a website personalizedbirthdaygifts.com and trying to rank for personalized birthday gifts and birthday gifts it's tough. OR isn't it? I hope I explained it well and didn't confuse anybody... Thanks
