Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'd rather not divulge to much into why they would use ours, other than the fact people support any tool, or feature that we can offer.

So basically, our members are expecting us to move into other realms (like search)

Currently we have the desktop factor figured out. the problem is, mobile devices, which i'm sure you know are of increasing importance (especially for our 19 - 23 demographic)

I noticed that you mentioned that the only way WE could "force it" would be with a jailbroken phone, but is there no way that the user can download an app, or a different browser that DOES allow THEM to choose to change it?

Thanks a ton for all your help Cesar, i'm gonna keep searching too, hopefully we can figure it out?

• Tyler

Nice. That's closer than what anyone else has recommended! I am going to hold off on the good answer to try and get more replies, but that is close!

I really need to be able to change their default search engine for their iphone safari browser (or find a browser that they can use, which DOES allow changing the default search engine)

Hey mozzers, I'm in quite the pickle today and would really appreciate some help!

i need a way to have my members set their default custom search engine on their iPhones and androids to our sites search engine.

Google chrome does on desktops but not iPhones.

Thanks for your time/help,

Tyler Abernethy

Nope, I wasn't sure if it would be capable of changing the default search engine or not.

Is there a way to get an app to do that?

Wow. What an awesome answer.

I literally don't know if I can't thank you enough for taking the time to answer so wholesomely.

I decided to go ahead and fix the https:// and change it to http://

Weird results here.. Traffic went down by 5.5% compared to the month before I posted this thread.

I noticed an increase in duplicate title tags (about 700 - 1000 of them) in my seomoz account.

Could that be likely to be the reason for the decrease? Or is it just because I shouldn't have made such a drastic site-wide change like that?

I am attempting to give unique title tags, and html titles to all of those product pages that are causing the increases in duplicate titles

I also am in a slight predicament because she hired another company to do some "optimization" around October 23rd.

Since then, they have made some spammy changes in my opinion, but some results have shown up (20+% increase starting around Jan 1st, and capping on the day I made the https:// change), and I can't get her to agree with me that we should invest in building a Social following, making better content, and blogging more often, etc. I also think we should move the blog to be in a sub folder on the domain as well..

I compared the webcache you showed me to a wordpress site that i built and the difference really was pretty shocking

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.ontracparts.com

whats the difference as far as rankings and SEs are concerned?

So I could go in depth with this and tell you all about the problems I have encountered with Volusion... but i'm not.

I just need to help a client change the 7,000 product pages they have that have duplicated title tags, and no H1 tags.

(probably one of the worst case of On-Page SEO set ups ever right? Shouldn't Volusion be built to help you do these types of essentials easily? Or (for the price) even better would be to do it automatically based on the product name??)

I recently fixed (or well, I am asking to make sure that this was the right thing to do in my first question posted a few minutes ago), a problem where all of my internal main sidebar category pages were linking using https://, which to my knowledge means SECURE pages.

anyways, OSE, and google seem to be not recognizing the link juice.

but my rank fell for one of my main keywords by 2 positions about a week after i made the fix to have the pages be indexable.

Making my pages properly linked can't be a bad thing right?

That's what I said.

So I looked deeper, and my crawl diagnostics reports showed a MASSIVE reduction in warnings (about 3,000 301 redirects were removed by changing the https:// to http:// because all the secure pages were re-directing to http:// regular structure)

and an INCREASE, in Duplicate Page Titles, and Temporary redirects...

Could that have been the reason the rank dropped?

I think I am going to fix all the Duplicate Page Title problems tonight, but still, I am a little confused as to why such a major fix didn't help and appeared to hurt me.

I feel like it hurt the rank, not because of what I did, but because what I did caused a few extra re-directs, and opened the doors for the search engine to discover more pages that had problems (which could have triggered an algo that says hey, these people have to much duplicate problems)

Any thoughts will be GREATLY appreciated  thumbed, thanked, and marked as best answers!

Thanks in advance for your time,

Tyler A.

Hey guys, sorry for the really long question, but it appears that I am losing between 50 and 75 % of my link juice to my internal pages.

In OSE all main category links (left sidebar) are being indexed from the URL that includes default.asp, even though NONE of my external links include that:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2FSulky-Thread-s%2F78.htm

If you check the PA for http://www.uncommonthread.com/:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2F

You see that it is practically double the PA of http://www.uncommonthread.com/default.asp:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2FDefault.asp

**Also, non of my internal menu links are being indexed. **

Look at the menu on this page:

http://www.uncommonthread.com/Sulky-Thread-s/78.htm

and then look at the OSE information here for the "invisible thread" item from the menu on the page above^^^:

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2FSulky-monofilament-s%2F54.htm

Thanks SOOO much!

Pre-thumbs and thanks to anyone that can lend me a seconds worth of advice!

Thanks again for your time,

Tyler A.

generally the difference between https:// and http:// is that the s (stands for secure I think) is usually reserved for payment pages, and other similar types of pages that search engines aren't supposed to index. (like any page where private data is stored)

My site that all of my questions are revolving around is built with Volusion (i'm used to wordpress) and I keep finding problems like this one.

The site was hardcoded to have all MENU internal links (which was 90% of our internal links) lead to **https://**www.example.com/example-page/

instead of

**http://**www.example.com/example-page/

To double check that this was causing a loss in Link Juice. I jumped over to OSE.

Sure enough, the internal links were not being indexed, only the links that were manually created and set to NOT include the httpS:// were being indexed.

So if OSE wasn't counting the links, and based on the general ideology behind secure http access, that would infer that no link juice is being passed...

Right??

Thanks for your time. Screens are available if necessary, but the OSE has already been updated since then and the new internal links ARE STILL NOT being indexed.

The problem is.. is this a volusion problem?

Should I switch to Wordpress?

here's the site URL (please excuse the design, it's pretty ugly considering how basic volusion is compared to wordpress)

http://www.uncommonthread.com/

So I was commenting on an article that my girlfriend shared and the coolest thing happened. Check out the screens for details, but basically, as soon as i finished my comment and pressed enter,  a little like box prompt window popped up.

This was on FB not on their site, and I thought that was awesome.

Anyone heard of, or no what is required to get this for other pages???

Thanks!!

I just listed about 6 H2 tags. That is ok right?

http://www.bestassaultrifles.org/aicw-specs-specifications/

Yea I see your concern.

They are all my movies/films/data, some are movies i've purchased, I would have to be careful to not let anyone get access though because then that would be file sharing.

Thanks for your help though! Still sounds like it would be better to just get an external hardrive if i would have to go through the trouble of upgrading hosting accounts.

You tha man Sebastian!

Closest easy option I could find in my theme settings was to limit the content excerpt word count to 1 word....

Do you guys know how to tell wordpress to not allow them to be indexed without messing with robots.txt?

Or is there any easy way?

So basically, I have about 500 GB of movies on my computer and I don't want to buy an external hardrive.

1. I don't want to spend the money

2. A website I could access anytime, and anywhere, without having to carry my external with me everywhere I go.

Thanks in advance for any help/ references.

Just wanted to say that I sent a reply, but wanted to make sure you received it! Thanks again for your time!

Tyler A.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out!

Awesome! That sounds like a great option!

I just don't want to risk, even in the slightest, that I could pass any value to a site that is already as powerful as Ebay.

That's another good point though. I always try and make good use of the target="_blank" tag. I almost wish that it was coded into wordpress to have all outbound links do that.

any recommended references for obfuscated URLs?

I have heard that there are other ways of linking to a site, to completely avoid passing any seo value

I think it was even in a whiteboard friday video where I saw Rand say something about doing a 307 "temporary" redirect, or something like that?

Basically, I want to let my customers compare our prices with ebay, but I don't want to have ebay outrank us (for obvious reasons)

Any help?

Google Plus is not replacing Google Places, rather they are both important in their own retrospects, and for their own reasons.

Also, If the company is the same, then you should just edit your current Plus page, and Places Profile, to feature your new site.

Are you keeping the old site too?

Well in the first case with my competitor that 301'd to a new site, absolutely, that was almost a year ago, and they are still sittin' just fine.

It does sound like a good buy, since your site is less powerful, but then again, it would depend on the link profile of the sites in question.

If you have a really clean profile, and they have a messy one, you might lose some value of having your site completely "virgin" if you will, to any spam.

Also, even though they have a higher DA, do they actually rank higher than you for any phrases?

If so, how many, and how valueable are they?

Sweeeeeet, thumbs up to that.

Question though.

Should I have 3 separate personal accounts, as well as 3 separate company accounts?

I have a competitor that bought a site that we had the chance to buy, and they jumped to the top of the search engines (keyword difficulty of 55), and the results were overnight.

In their case they bought a brand new domain, and 301 redirected the site to the new domain.

On the other hand, Another company of mine has a 301 redirect from another site, and we still struggle to rank....

How well are you ranking without the 301?

If it is the difference between average spot 10's for your target keywords, and average spot of 1-5, then you should probably jump all over it...

So I have 3 completely different niches.

As in B2B vs. B2C, as well as markets that are not related whatsoever.

Unless your grandmother that likes to sew, just so happens to also love to demolish giant buildings (lol, I never thought about how polar opposite my niches were until I re-read that sentence).

Anyways, I guess the company should also have profiles/hubs, but what about for Outreach?

I feel like outreach should be done by a personal profile, since outreach is all about networking and building relationships.

Any direction/help/tips here?

Thanks everyone,

Tyler A.

I started with that intriguing title because that's all i've got.

What I mean is, I don't know the exact topics that I am looking for.

Anyways, here's the shindig.

I was just replying to a nice new member to SEOmoz, and he asked if he should set up his 3 sites in 3 separate campaigns.

I was telling him about the different  number of keywords that comes with each respectable price, so I had to log out to be sure.

Low and behold, not only did SEOmoz not kick me to a "You have been logged out" page (basically, it allowed me to continue, un-interrupted, and finish my thoughts), but it also did something MUCHHH better.

LOL i'ma little giddy about it even.

So, I typed a fun little response, added my links, and whatnot, and FORGOT that I had logged out to check the prices.

Well, when I logged back in and clicked reply again, all of my text showed up in the editor (as a draft).

I am wondering, what is the action of trying to think of cool ways to improve your site called?

User Friendliness Optimization?

User Engagement Optimization?

User's Enjoyment of Using Your Site Optimization?

----insert metaphorically cloudy line here--------

Conversion Rate Optimization?

At some point it does overlap with Conversion Rate Optimization, but either way, does anybody know of any cool tips to make people "enjoy" their time on your site more?

Ahhhh, I see, well there are a lot of reasons to do them all separately, but if you want to do them all in one campaign, then they have to be on the same domain.

You said register though, so I just wanna' make sure my new friend isn't cracking into his wallet too fast, because you only have to register and pay once.

They have a 30 day free trial for pro (which comes with 5 campaigns, and 300 keywords), pro plus (with 1,000 keywords, 12 campaigns), and pro elite ( 3,500 keywords, 30 campaigns)

I'm guessing that they are all separate domains, so in that case you would set up 3 new campaigns.

1. Go to -> http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns

to start your first campaign

Then honestly, with SEOmoz. Bam. My job her is done, ahaha. They will walk ya through the rest, and 4 steps, and you will be done in no time!

I'll be around for about an hour if you need anymore help.

I have not ever personally used it, but honestly, I would say it is probably not the best idea.

I think it would detract from your other marketing messages, which would cost you more than you gain.

That is IF anyone uses it to link to you anyways. In all of my years, the only way I have seen people copy and paste things from sites is embeddable widgets, or cool type things.

In tech industry (which you said you aren't in, lol me either..), then it MAY would be worth considering.

I would recommend going a route like Search Engine Land does, and offer a lot of social engagement instead (which these days are becoming valued a lot like links)

If you were still going to do it, then I would recommend doing it SUPER non-intrusively  as in, don't come across as begging, or forcing them too.

Maybe even just add it in the mix of "share" options, in a box similar to Search engine land's.

Also, if you really want them to do it, then you will probably have to incentivize it, but hey, people will do anything for cash these days.

Including copy and publish a link.

Hey there Frank. Well, that would depend on what you are registering them for. Regardless of how many or how old they are.

Do you mean here on SEOmoz?

So about a year ago now (maybe more/less), Facebook changed the way their ads are displayed.

On the desktop version of Facebook (for me at least), the Sponsored ads in the right sidebar display anywhere between 3 and 7 ads at a time.

Well in the case of 7 ads, that is a lot of ads to look at and read through.

All seems pretty ok right??

Well, here is the problem.

I cannot tell you how many times  I have seen an ad that interests me, and then read through the others below them, then before I can go back to click on the one that interested me, the ads automatically refresh, and I don't get to click on the ad.

Maybe they figure that by refreshing ads, it gets them more chances to catch your interest, and that the value of that is higher than the value of me getting to click what I wanted. (It kinda upset me honestly. I thumbs down things that tease me.)

Either way, they could have both.

My solution?

A small button that you can click to view the ads that were previously displayed.

(imagine how much money that could bring them. Especially if I saw the ad yesterday, left the window open for 24 hours with the computer on, and just sat there clicking until i found it.  You are BOUND to find MORE ads that interest you, and click on those too.)

((ok, ok, ok, maybe 24 hours is a little ridiculous, but at least SOME amount of time and a button is necessary))

If we were really going to build a marketing playground, then we could also throw in a "More Like This" button.

It would open the doors to some AMAZING data.

Full to the brim with advertisement related feedback coming happily from your users.

When you are talking about positioning your brand, it doesn't get much more important than to talk to them while they are enjoying themselves. (i.e. they click button, and next page has 10 links. you show the links, based on how many times people are clicking them. Not to mention, when you are that big, you can look at the value of what they do immediately after, the next day, and even the next week, and really tell what is the most valueable add, in terms of egagement, and further CTRs and Conversions for later in your relationship  )

Anyways, I thought everyone would find that interesting, and hopefully it would inspire some people to get analytical with their thoughts today.

Do you think that Facebook could use some conversion rate optimization?

Do you think that Facebook could be doing more than they are to make more money?

Do you think that Facebook (being such a powerful site), could make a lot of money by implementing an SEO/Content strategy?

Thanks, they helped me within an hour this morning after I saw your response.

It turned out to be a problem with one of my plugins "Simple Countdown Timer"

So I had to delete it.

Problem solved though!

Thanks again,

Tyler Abernethy

hey everyone,

i am having a weird problem.

for some reason. all of a sudden (without me changing ANYTHING) my widget page in the admin dashboard will not let me edit anything

what i mean is, i login, go to the widgets page, and then the dropdown menus that you drag widgets into will not let me expand to drop widgets in them.

was there a wordpress update i missed?

who should i contact?

what if i delete the theme and re-install. will i have to change ALL the settings back again?

I have some old squidoo pages and yes they haven't been tended to as well as my other content that is outperforming it, and yes that could be why.

So rather than asking why it is underperforming, I just want to know if anyone else has heard that Squidoo was in line for a spanking, or if anyone else has seen similar organic reductions.

That way I know if it's me getting the spanking, or if it's squidoo.

Thanks a mil.

Tyler

Hi everyone, so I am working on a project with a friend of mine, without getting into too much detail, here's the problem.

We need users to sign in, then for instance, click a button, and then have that action record a value of 1 in a database on our server (preferably accessible through the wordpress admin interface, and in .csv format so that we can make it easy to work with)

Any help with databasing, or if wordpress is already built with SOME database technology, etc, etc

For instance, SEOmoz's "mozpoint" system..

Wordpress comes built with the ability for users to log in and have profiles with special access, etc, but does it have the ability to log points and values to a specific user as well?

Where should I look?

What should I google to figure out options?

Who could I call / hire?

LOL woah, put the guns away.

I'm not about to rant, I just have a question and wanted to present it well.

Then again, I might have actually found some easy fixes to some of Google's tools that they could make.

So here's the thing.

I noticed how annoyed I always getting when I have to sign in every time I go to the adwords keyword tool, or analytics.

Why do you have to sign in a million times?

I think it is a problem that can be fixed  because if you go to check your webmaster tools, you go straight into your account, where you can then select which site you want to explore.

It knows that I am already signed in to Google Accounts when I go to webmaster tools, but it doesn't recognize that fact when I go to my Analytics account, or to use the Adwords Keyword Tool.

Now, every site has things that they need to work on, but not necessarily that need to be 'fixed'.  Google being so commonly accepted as the best site on the net, I thought it was funny/interesting at the least to point out the problem.

Even funnier is the fact that I could submit it as a problem to see if they could fix it or not, but they do such a good job of making it hard for people to contact them, that A) I don't feel like wasting my time trying B) I don't even really know if it is possible to do that.

Also, why is there no official Google Analytics App / Mobile site??

Google has been pushing how important mobile is to us webmasters, but then it doesn't seem to be very high on their priority list for the tools that we use.

I mean you can't view graphs on phones / tablets (mine at least), in webmaster tools, OR google analytics.

Also, its a pain in the but to click the sign in button on Google Analytics when using my phone / tablet, it disapears really fast for me (needs more research from others to see if everyone has the same problem)

Thanks for the interest / answers everybody.

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Also, tips and help would be nice if anybody knows a solution to my sign in issue

If you have already ruled out that you set up your authorship correctly, then it is just a waiting game.

It took me almost 3 weeks before I saw it show up in the SERPs.

Test your url on this testing tool from Google to be sure you set it up right:

http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

We have about 300 main keywords and we are receiving an almost equivalent amount of traffic for long tail phrases.

These long tail phrases are more specific though, and are almost different queries entirelly.

For example

" keyword " is generally the same question as "keyword for sale"

but

"keyword" is not necessarily the same question as "aftermarket keyword"

So my question is, how do you go about creating a BUNCH of new pages?

Well, I think that the pages are a necessary part of the content strategy really.

It's almost more of a question of how to go about doing it.

Also, what if I just work towards blogging a few times a day about the 1,000 keywords?

I asked this question before and got mixed feedback.

Companies vs. Freelancers.

Well I have a couple questions here. At a certain point it is definitely worth going in house, but what about the knowledge that we could gain from working with a big agency?

Does that really add any value? Can I hire a freelancer and trust him as much as a big agency?

or vice versa?

Can I hire an agency and trust them as much as a freelancer?

I have also been advised to make sure they offer competitive / site analysis as a first step, AND inform you of exactly how many links they plan to build per month, how much time they will dedicate to you and your account, expect turn around times, and light strategy details that they would likely use.

Thanks for any help!

TA

Hey everybody,

So, our niche doesn't have a million and a half searches per month, which makes a handle full of visitors look mighty enticing to a CMO

Our price point is very high too, so to the question, is it worth taking the time to put a whole new content strategy in line for a few new visitors, the answer is yes.

Now's the hard part.

How on earth do I make 1,000 pages for similar topics?

Is making new pages the best way to go about this? (probably so right? It's the only thing that I can see that would certainly increase likelihood of being more relevant, plus if I don't I will be missing out on the benefits of beefing up our site, AND the opportunity to more specifically answer a users query.)

With phrases like "keyword" and "aftermarket keyword," the searcher is asking for two totally separate collections of results.

I'm always reading about the importance of being there throughout the buyers complete purchasing /research process, which makes me think that considering doing anything other than creating unique pages is simply missing out..

Suggestions?

Massive Content Strategy Help?

Anybody?

Thanks,

TA

So first off, I've got to admit, I really haven't shopped around enough on SEOmoz's Recommended page.

I have been doing some shopping, and have considered a few different people.

The two main people that we are considering (or should I be saying 'were' right now?) is a company called Mainstreet Host.

They have the best price, and when I first came into my partnership with Roseann at Uncommon Thread, she had already paid for some $1,500 trial of sorts.

Our problems with these guys?

1. Roseann says the sales guy is extremely pushy
2. They want us to pay them a monthly fee to "optimize 11 pages, create 12 blog posts on wordpress blog, rss on homepage for fresh content, blah blah blah..." I was stuck on the fact that they want a recurring fee for a fairly small job
3. I just looked into their ability to rank for the keyword they are targeting, and they rank #2 for a keyword difficulty score of 83.  BUT, I looked into their linkbuilding and it's pretty blackhat. Several blog comments, mostly guest posts on what looked like some sore of article marketing site, and a few missing links according to opensiteexplorer.org
4. did not say anything about link building other than a single Press Release distribution

I guess my question is, is the $6,000 they want us to pay for those services actually going to get us to rank for some competitive terms? like keyword difficulty score 30 - 60?

The other guys we have been considering is OrangeSoda.

Right off the bat, they seem awesome, i mean just take a quick look at their site.

but just like with the other company, they have a pretty dark backlink profile too.

The only thing that they really have going for them is a few paid links on some sort of what appears to be semi-legitimate advertising partner based network. Google was on their too, near the bottom, which I thought was very strange, because it clearly discloses that its a paid network.

They are asking $7,200 for 12 hours per week of work, in which time they will help us go through and fix any technical aspects, create a blog, and create content, as well as build a link building strategy.

Should I keep shoppping??

She was right with all her suggestions, but the community can help you a lot here. You should tell us a few things though..

Like

A) what keyword are you trying to rank for

B) if you use Google Analytics (if so, then you should check it and tell people the date range that it seems your traffic dropped)

C) what you have paid / done to increase your rank, and when you did those things

Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content.

1. should I just delete the tag pages?

2. Is that worth my time?

3. how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

It did actually. My pages that had the word specifications on them were getting a lot of niche specific traffic for

"(make / model) specifications"

even though we sell

"(make / model) parts."

That little traffic cloud is dwindling, I have considered doing something to at least help those searchers find what they need, since they are likely having an issue finding it.

Well, regardless, it certainly seems like some sort of brand introduction opportunity could be in order, considering we sell parts for those (make / model)s

EGOL you hit the nail on the head there. Those numbers were affecting my site average pretty significantly.

The "specifications" related traffic has dropped -24.7.% average over the last 2 months

While "part(s)" related keywords risen +19.6% over that same two months.

Looks like Google might be paying even more attention to time on site than I thought after all... o_0...  ?

Latttteee last night I asked this question

Just like the question says, I would have thought that Google would reward a site with more traffic that clearly has a growing level of user engagement.

I can't imagine that there are other sites in my niche that are having a longer rate of user engagement...

Well, since I can't guarentee that, let's not debate what we don't know..

But shouldn't SOME benefits be seen for a 110% increase?

I mean shit, if I could replicate those results with sales, I would really be able to afford higher rankings...

Maybe that's how they feel?

If I get longer duration, I should get more sales, which means I should be able to afford to pay a professional more to get me to rank higher....?

A nice guy Marcus Miller(http://www.seomoz.org/users/profile/78416) answered by saying

Hey Tyler

Google analytics data is not used in anyway in the search ranking algorithm. It's a great thing that your user engagement is up, but it will not benefit you with a better rank on the back of that.

That said, if people are enjoying your site more, it should be easier to generate more links and sharing to get more traffic and hopefully boost your standing in search.

This is worth a watch:

Hope this helps.

Marcus

I was still a little unsure though, so I said

Solid answer man, I really appriciate the youtube link too, gotta love when an answer is chizzled in stone.

I was thinking though..

Google does track data for bouncing back to search for similar queries, and some types of time on site, etc, right?

Do you, or does anyone else know the specifics about the data that Google tracks, in relation to how a user interacts with your site?

Weird.

Are you using aggressive off-page SEO techniques?

I haven't really seen results fly up and down every single refresh, but I have heard of results dancing severely on a day -  week basis.

In my experience major dancing has only occurred from over aggressive link building

Hey everyone!

Thanks again for everybodies contributions to my questions over the last few months.

As the title states, our homepage is at

"example.com/default.html"

but everybody that backlinks to us (as expected) to "example.com"

does that mean that I am probably losing a lot of the power of my links??

I really am lost as to what to do these days..

The problem with my industry is the whole idea of link bait isn't very lucrative.

There are no bloggers either, so guest blogging also isn't a very good option. Seems to me like the best thing I can do is just publish content!

So, publish a lot of quality content? LOL, sounds like that's right up Google's alley.

Where do you publish your content, and what would you say has shown the best results for you personally?

We called an SEO company, Arteworks, a few days ago (Friday), and they really didn't go into any details about how they build links.

We called them because I saw a post that you commented on, here, and it recommended a few companies at the bottom of the post. (Arteworks being one of them) Really, this is where I get so dang confused... The goal is to build links like the old days, except only use unique content, diversify your pages, and anchor text?

Sound about right?

Or, should I only create content on my site?

Thanks in advance for your time and advice!!

Sincerely,

Tyler Abernethy
