Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Brandon,

If the company has something to announce, something interesting (not a website update) then yes this is a good way to build some links. My favorite is charities they are an easy win win. You help by donating time/money to a good cause. Attend a reliable charity event and network with everyone there, get the name of the person who organized the event. Call the event organizer and tell them you had a great time and you are preparing a PR on the event. They are usually extremely happy to hear that.

Once you receive the list contact everyone and offer them to leave a quote with a link to their site on the PR. Also let them know that after the PR goes out to share it with their social media.

Syndicate the PR to your own blog and have the share that link ; )

This is where everyone shared the article from:

Hope this helps.

last Thursday Google rolled out a EMD update targeting low quality sites with EMD. However Google also rolled out a Panda 20 update. Does anyone know what this new Panda update was targeting?

Im pretty sure you can trackback to the original.. Are you using wordpress?

Hi,

It all depends, first off majority of you competitors will not allow you to guest blog with no incentive. I would recommend finding similar niche type sites to guest blog on. If you are a local service and they do the same thing as you in a different location then they will more likely approve a guest blog post.

Seomoz takes longer to calculate the links and they do not have every URL indexed. If you look in your Google webmaster tools, SEOmoz's Open Site Explorer and Majestics backlink checker (http://www.majesticseo.com/) you should get most of the indexed backlink data you need. Keep in mind that you might place a link on a page today that may not get indexed for 6 weeks.

Also, have you submitted a sitemap to Google?

Hey AIden, my mistake... Inurl only shows parameters within URLs

Try this instead inlink:www.theethicalsilkco.com this command shows your indexed links.

I would submit a sitemap and keep moving forward with creating valuable content and sharing it to the right people. It can take Google a long time to get to your message.

I took out the "http://"... here type " inurl:www.theethicalsilkco.com/ "

There must be a way to include your link..

First link, category search and in the results theres a Supplier Guide - P.1 - P.7

Second link shows one of the listed suppliers from one of the pages and they have links to their site on the page.

SEOmoz can take some time to index a new site... How old is your site? It must be fairly new because I also tried finding your links in google (by typing inurl:http://www.theethicalsilkco.com/ into the search) and only two results came up...

Actually Google does not mention anything about meta keywords only that they do not use this as a ranking factor. Bing however looks at this as an attempt to manipulate their SERPs. Also, using meta keywords will give your competitors a free link research goto for your site. I would not recommend using them.

Yes it still works. However, site has to be relevant and authoritative. Check out myblogguest.com

If you are going to rebuild the site on a new URL with the same content. You can copy the content externally (in word or another app) and de-indexed the bad site. Once the bad site is completely de-indexed from Google you can add the old content to the new URL and submit the new site map to Google.

Otherwise you can also start contacting webmasters to remove or change those backlink so that you are not over optimizing.

Build a dedicated page with unique content for that city, and build local links FROM the city you are targeting.

If you are targeting "new york rocks" then build a page in your site www.domain.com/newyorkrocks and then build links from within New York to the NYR page on your site.

You can make it without separating the pages using a jquery script pop up like this site: http://www.livingsocial.com/

There was a WBF on transcripts for videos a while back: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/video-seo-basics-whiteboard-friday-11080

Its up to you! as Geoff mentions above. Myblogguest is not a bad site and they have good intensions. They are helping people share content for each others audiences. Lets say I needed an article about helicopters for my boat site I can easily get content from myblogguest and the author deserves the credit.

However if it is used to manipulate or spam it wont help and might hurt. Just like everything in SEO.

Many tools out there can be used for good or bad however you are holding the wheel. "Give the people what they want, and Google will give you to the people." + Donnie Strompf

Ideally it's best to go after 1 keyword per page 2 max.  This is one of the reasons for it...

In your case I would target the keyword "isle of mull cheddar" it has the best search volume using: http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/keyword-difficulty

| isle of mull cheddar | 37 | 46 | 170 | 36 | 140 |
|
| buy isle of mull cheddar | 37 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
|
| buy cheddar from isle of Mull | 37 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

All have unique contact (about us, why us, benefits...).

Unique means exclusive one of a kind...

Type the URL you provided into: http://copyscape.com/ Seems like you have some duplicate content.

Also, I don't understand why you built soo many microsites.. You're better off having one quality website with all of the targeted keywords. It's easier to get ranking to a page that also has some Domain Authority.
