Great recommendation by Donna!
I would also recommend the following
-
Professional Online Business Directories (Company.Com, Angieslist, BBB, Yelp, Manta, Alignable, Crunchbase, etc.)
-
Start Writing Relevant Content on Your Niche/Industry/Products etc. then promote and share content/posts.
-
Look out for any opportunities to be in a resources list or niche directory using the below Search Strings in Google
-
“industry” inurl:directory
-
“industry” inurl:links
-
“industry” intitle:directory
-
“city” inurl:directory
-
“city” inurl:businesses
-
“city” intitle:directory

Advice needed! How to clear a website of a Wordpress Spam Link Injection Google penalty?
Hi Guys, I am currently working on website that has been penalised by Google for a spam link injection. The website was hacked and 17,000 hidden links were injected. All the links have been removed and the site has subsequently been redesigned and re-built. That was the easy part 🙂 The problems comes when I look on Webmaster. Google is showing 1000's of internal spam links to the homepage and other pages within the site. These pages do not actually exist as they were cleared along with all the other spam links. I do believe though this is causing problems with the websites rankings. Certain pages are not ranking on Google and the homepage keyword rankings are fluctuating massively. I have reviewed the website's external links and these are all fine. Does anyone have any experience of this and can provide any recommendations / advice for clearing the site from Google penalty? Thanks, Duncan

Experts please take a look.
Below is a screenshot from the website ahrefs.com (They identify the backlinks to your website), containing 3 results. My website, competitor 1 and competitor 2. My website - I spend a year optimizing my site and doing back links as natural as possible. - Currently #10 in google. Competitor 1 - Low URL rank and Super unnatural back links. - Currently #1 in google. This competitor has 195K backlinks by having 3 seperate websites linking each in their the main header. Competitor 2 - Low URL rank and only 58 back links. - Currently #2 in google. They have been on the top of google for a few keywords for months. And I do not understand why they are #1 constantly. 7NrQ0wz.jpg 7dtAjpf.jpg 7dtAjpf.jpg

Negative SEO campaign just started against my site. What do I do?
As the question says, I have just got alerts of new links, being clearly a negative seo campaign against my site. We are talking, lots of spammy, rude anchor text type keywords being used. Whilst I only have alerts of a small number (around 30), it has just happened and I know from the type of spammy links they are that more will be coming. So, question is, should I disavow? Do I keep submitting new disavows every few days as more are discovered? Any advice will be greatly be appreciated.

Help figuring out if certain paid directories are worth it
The person in my position previously had quite a few paid directories our site was listed on. What is the best resources you guys have used or know of to figure out which ones are good to keep? For instance one that is up for renewal this week is site-sift.com. I know the person previous to me did some not so ethical stuff and I'm trying to clean up messes. Any advice on directories would be much appreciated.

Link Building: High Ranking Site vs. Relevancy
Hello, When link building, is it acceptable to link with a site that has high authority but has minimal relevancy to our site? For example, if we sell nutritional products and the link exchange would be with a site that relates to free coupons, would that work? Also, if we are publishing articles on other sites, should we also publish them on our own site? Should we add "nofollow" if we publish them in our site?
