Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you have a good amount of links, but your TLD is low, and you got say 100 more links from 100 seperate domains, but most were NoFollow, would that still help alot since you are increasing your overall TLD?

I guess what I am asking is, should we not ignore nofollow links because they still can increase TLD? Thus, making our good dofollow links worth even more?

When I said landing page with limited content, I meant that the landing page might be great, but that there arent many additional pages. Or an ecommerce site that only sel 5 or ten products. Besides selling, what does your site offer? That is where I figured I must start a blog to increase authority.

The reason I wanted to bookmark it so much, is to see if I can make it go viral by giving it a headstart. Are there other ways to make content go viral if it is infact "viral worthy"

So submitting to ezinearticles and building web 2.0 linkwheels is childsplay when it comes to real SEO and ranking for the big terms right? Put the effort into your own website, I think I am starting to see the light!

Wow, that was a great answer! So your basically saying stick with linkbait?

Here are my thoughts:

Infographic: not much success with this, takes too long to complete, and it seems people don't care as much anymore about these. Plus load times are a pain on the big jpg files.

free app/free tool: Since I am into coding, My method of choice! As a Make a calc or tool and use an embed code for a link back. Been working on this but finding it hard to get people to download them.

video: good idea

Poll, Quiz: really good idea

Okay so in my 2 year SEO journey I guess it comes down to this. It really is about content. Make great content, reach out a little, and the rest will follow.

Would it be mildly accurate in saying that most top SEO's dont do alot of "linkbuilding"? Rather they do "content building" that is linkworthy?

Okay, so let's say I have a landing page or an ecommerce website with limited content. If I start a blog and write quality posts that have anchor text linking back to my homepage, then bookmark the hell out of those blog posts, post to twitter, cite the post on Q&A websites, etc . . .  would that be an effective strategy beyond the normal stuff like directory submisson and blog comments?

That's a good idea. As far as the calculators, there would be a "powered by" link and it would be iframed, so it would force the link anyway. I like the idea of tools over infographics, because it costs about the same to code a tool as it does to design a graphic if you use odesk or freelancer. I think the tools are more enticing.

I realized the only way to get massive amounts of links to websites that do not actively blog, is to create a free infographic or free software tool that they can anyone can use on their website.

Here is my question. Once we create the tool or infographic, what is the best way to spread it like wildfire? Contact people on twitter? Mail popular blog owners and tell them about it directly? Comment on blogs and forums and post a link?

Is thier anything else I can do to push these infographics out? Also, I think custom software's like jquery calculators and tools are better than infographics. What do you think?
