How Would You Plan Long Term SEO (1 year and more)?
-
Hi,
I'm new to SEO and learning fast. Myself joined together with my friends have set up a string of websites each for different products to sell online. To start with we have finalized keywords, optimized the on-page using the on-page analysis tool and right now about to start working on link building.
For the first month we have planned to do around 20 bookmarking, 3 articles each to 15 article directories, 30 directory submissions (priority to niche based), business page listing in hot frog etc, 3 articles each submitted to 10 web 2.0 properties, 1 press release to 15 pres release sites, some Q&A links and few blog comments, 10 video submission and 1 guest blogging.
We have also completed setting up facebook fan page and twitter account and active in them too. For anchor text diversity we will be using keywords only in links from article submission and web 2.0. For links from other methods, the anchor text will be either website name or website url. And we will be targeting 4 keywords per website (2 keywords for home page and 2 for 2 sub-pages). The difficulty level of the keywords range from 40% to 60%. Now, I have few questions which I believe the experts over here can help.
1. For the first month we have planned the above link building, but hpw build links from different websites in coming month?
2. For web 2.0 properties we can keep adding articles to the same blog we have created or we need to create separate set of web 2.0 properties for each month.
3. Are we missing any link building methods or strategy? If so, can you please tell me the method?
I know some of the questions might be silly, but being a beginner it would be a great help to know the answer for these questions from this community.
Thanks,
Sridhar

You need to come up with highly unique and engaging content that will benefit users like in depth product reviews or writing about your industry, make it good and it will generate it's own links and social shares. Relevant business directories are still good, but will not get you ranking high on their own. Since you sell products try using product feeds to syndicate to other sites as well.

Thanks for the reply, I think I would stop the link building as of now and start learning about the link building from SEOMoz beginners guide. But from your opinion where do you think I can start my link building?

Scrap all of this and use the time to learn seo. These tactics may have worked 5 years ago, but you will mostly be wasting your time doing this. I advise totally against 'submitting 1 article to 15 press sites' or the articles. Learn about duplicate content.
1 high-quality, engaging article submitted on a relevant industry website will be worth way more than spun articles on low quality article directories that probably do not pass any value. Sorry the above strategy just seems weak and ineffective, you need to spend your time learning about seo and content strategies and SEOmoz beginners guide is a good place to start.

Can not start a SEO MOZ campaign?
I keep getting this message, I have a 301 from my domain to my domain with the www prefix. What's the deal? We have detected that the domain www.photosbykristopher.com and the domain photosbykristopher.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.

Nuts and Bolts Ecommerce SEO approach
Hi there, I have an ecommerce store that is just starting to rank for some good, competitive keywords. So I want to step on the gas a bit and get to the top of the search engines. What I've been doing: 1. Article marketing;
Moz Pro | | alex1030
2. Link wheels;
3. Giveaway promotions;
4. Buying expensive links from the main directories (yahoo, botw, business.com, etc) At this point, I'd like to bring in and train an SEO to do all of the above and more. Is there an eCommerce SEO 101-401 training module on this site? Or even better, is anyone willing to share a mindmap with the steps broken down? Thanks! Jon0 -
