How to Add Content to a Product-Focused Site
-
I recently took over management of the SEO work for the following site: http://www.grovercorp.com/rings-and-seals/. I want to do link building, but don't have a ton of experience with it.
From what I've read, offering linkable content is the best way to get links. However, this site -- like many in industrial B-2-B -- is focused primarily on promoting their products. I'd like tto offer an article or add an infographic, but am not sure where I would put it? It doesn't seem like the architecture offers a good place to add linkable content.
Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

All good points. I've had a similar experience dealing with e-commerce sites like this and figuring out where/how to add content. I think you start with your products. Make each page as detailed and descriptive as you possibly can. This means everything from how the product is made, where it's made, it's uses, etc (all original copy if you can write it). Then add multiple pictures, possibly different angles, maybe even packaging. Then, one of the biggest things, add customer reviews. That's user generated content that people WANT to read when looking at an online store. The goal is to provide the customer with as much information as possible. Almost as if they are in a store, holding the product, asking a salesperson questions. Put it all out there for the user to see, and you're off to a great start. Here's an older, yet still useful, whiteboard friday by Rand from about a year ago on the subject.

Consider posting detailed article pages that enthusiastically show how to use your products with lots of photos, graphics and maybe video. Create some showing the benefits of using your products. These should not be chest-thumping content, instead friendly and generously informative.
Promote them across the site with "Learn How To Use This Product" links or images.
These detailed pages might attract links. They can boost your credibility. People will use them as reference documents. Make them easily printable for use offline.

a very quick review of your site showed some promise. you have a section for case studies etc.. you can use case studies to garner industry expertise and link build from that.
Another great way to start adding content to any type of website is a blog. if you were to add an industry specific blog to the site you could quickly start conversations with your b2b customers. Remember to provide industry specific news and thought stewardship and you can help link / content build very quickly. From there you can run some social twitter, fb, etc. and hopefully start growing links from that. personally I dont see much room on fb for my b2b, but i still see a lot of growth on twitter.
one last thought is to work with your happy customers to provide back links or cross links to start building out some good linking techniques..
just a quick .02 Im sure others will have some great ideas too

I am in a similar situation. Your best bet would be a blog or something similar covering industry news or company related information, such as new features or similar. Also guides or so could be one source. It is difficult for this kind of website though to release content without it seeming out of place.

Content Marketing - Getting Webmaster to Link to Article
Hello, We're doing a niche article and we want to do a link building campaign around it. I'm not as interested in being linked to in resource sections - that will happen - but my question is for other links. What types of links am I looking for, is it guest posts - is that the best? If so, how do convince them to allow a guest post around an article? Thanks.

Advice On Promoting A Hosting Site
hi, I hope some of you might be able to give me a few pointers here. A friend of mine has started a web hosting company in the UK. Not an affiliate but actually owns a data centre, Now he has a great deal of experience in running hosting in other countries but all his work came from large corporate companies and not from the net. The UK hosting he wants to promote from online sales as well. Now I know his site needs considerable work (http://www.cloudwebsters.co.uk) but I want to be able to give him some advice on the best ways to get started promoting his site. Obviously content is a key to success, but not sure how he can incorporate lots of content into the site as it is effectively e-commerce. Looking at sites such as UK2.net they have a lot of pages on the site but they are all minimal content. such as http://www.uk2.net/glossary/moreuk2/ which only has a couple of sentences on them. Is this really the way to go for the site, my feeling is no as it does not offer any real quality but your opinions are appreciated. Thanks Jenson

Seo & Real Estate Site?
I am a Realtor. I am also a web developer. I want to make a site about real estate and web development. Primarily how I use my unique skills with web to sell homes. A real estate website caps it's Page Rank very low. There are not a lot of good backlinks to get when compared to the web development industry. There are millions of blogs I participate in about web development/seo. There are a lot of blogs I participate in about real estate too; however, the real estate websites all have low page ranks. This is obviously because the seo/web development industries know how to build page rank, which makes it easier to accumulate it. It's difficult finding good outlets to get link power from in real estate. How confused would google be? Is there an acceptable strategy to making this a reality? Please point out all of the variables I am not seeing. Pros and Cons. I'm not an SEO pro. I would be going for the keyword Pensacola Real Estate. I would accumulate backlinks from the real estate industry and the web design industry. Help 🙂
