What do you mean by "In terms of links, alot get linked to the home page as the source and some to the image url."

Do you mean that due to an infographic on an internal page other sites often link to the homepage of the infographic owner?

Also, as I mentioned I was surprised, as you can see from the amount of the social shares this infographic did had ncie buzz (maybe still does). However the amount of links I could locate is ok nothing more and also the PA by MOZ OSE is only 28... Looks weird to me. Makes me wonder...

What about Pinterest? Does it generate links? I would have expected to see 1000 links from Pinterest alone...

Thanks Mat for the reply.

I didn't quite understand what you meant... Can you provide an example of an e-commerce site you feel that implements it well? (doesn't need to be one related to you).

Thanks

Your ending was hilarious:

"hurt you depending on Google guidelines for the given month/week/day"

About nofollow and violating Google:
I think that having a call to action at the end of every post is legit and obvious (for example at the end of "Toshiba Laptops" post having a "Looking for a Toshiba Laptop?" button). It doesn't make sense to me nofollowing it. Doing so will only waste the juice I'm nofollowing - Google stated that no following links that not pass over more juice on the others, it simply wastes it.

Look at Hubspot's blog for example, at the end of each post they offer an ebook or something. All of the links are followed.

What do you think?

Hi,

I don't get it...
I've encountered the following infographic that seemed to do well: http://www.brilliance.com/4cs-of-diamonds-infograph

As you can see, the page has thousands of social shares from Tweets to Facebook and obviously Pinterest. However, when I placed this page on Open Site Explorer (click to view) I see only 9 external links and page authority of 28/100. And this seems to me like a successful infographic.

Any explanations?

Thanks

Hi,

I have an e-commerce site that sells laptops.

My main landing pages and category pages are as follows:
"Toshiba Laptops", "Samsung Laptops", etc.

We also run a WP blog with industry news.
The posts are divided into categories which are basically as our landing pages.
The posts themselves usually link to the appropriate e-commerce landing page.
For example: a post about a new Samsung Laptop which is categorized in the blog under "Samsung Laptops" will naturally link somewhere inside to the "samsung laptops" ecommerce landing page.

Is that good or do the categories on the blog cannibalize my more important e-commerce section landing pages?

Thanks

Hi All,

In order to avoid duplication errors we've decided to redirect old categories (merge some categories).
In the past we have been very generous with the number of categories we assigned each post.

One category needs to be redirected back to blog home (removed completely) while a couple others should be merged. Afterwords we will re-categorize some of the old posts.

What is the proper way to do so?
We are not technical, Is there a plugin that can assist?

Thanks
