What is a good average cost to acquire a link?
-
If you use a link building tactic for long enough, you can estimate the average cost for each link that is acquired through that tactic.
For instance if you typically get 10 links from an infographic that costs $1,000 to create and promote, your average cost per link is about $100.
What range do you target for your average cost per link? What average cost would you take all day long if you could scale it?

Do you know what is the effect on a site that uses another site's infographic in a story or post,
The answer depends upon the quality of the story or the post.
what is the effect on the site producing and storing the graphic?
If the site that uses the infographic is a stronger site then it will probably outrank the source of the infographic if they are optimized for the same keyword.
If the site that uses the infographic has 1000x as many visitors it will probably attract 1000x as many likes, links, tweets, etc... and thus outrank the site that produced the infographic.
No wonder little sites complain about the big brands beating them all of the time... they give away all of their content and wonder WTF happened.

Do you know what is the effect on a site that uses another site's infographic in a story or post, and what is the effect on the site producing and storing the graphic?

I think that you will find that some infographics are better at attracting links than others and predicting which will succeed is really tough... that means you could spend a lot of money and get zero results. (Its really easy to spend a lot on content and get puny results.)
And, you will find that very few things can be done all day long every day before you hit market saturation.
Another consideration is... Google does not like infographic syndication as much as they used to... so the value of a link is a bit squishy and getting worse.

Is there a good website builder that can gain links?
I made the horrible mistake of using GoDaddy website builder and just found out that I have 3 homepages with a 302 temporary redirect on one of them. GoDaddy says I have only one homepage and no redirects which is not true as far as both Google Webmaster and Mozpro are concerned. I am not able to change anything structurally on the Godaddy site. Is there an economical alternative to having a website built that I can work with myself (with little knowledge) and that I can do some link building that will be effective. Thank you, I will refrain from commenting on GoDaddy Scott

Exchange online link for offline publication? A good linkbuilding strategy?
Lets say I own a company that sells bakery-supplies. I would want links from websites with "bakery" as their main topic. So it seems obvious to try and gain links from local backeries. Next step is: How do I convince them to link me? What is their benefit? I can't link them back because it would weaken the linkpower. Therefor I was thinking about publicating an offline "Backery Guide" which includes all backeries in the area. Backeries which link us, would get more visibiliy and company information. That would be their benefit and we would get a 1-way link. Is this an idea which could work? Any remarks are welcome!

Blog Roll Links - A good or bad thing ?
I Use Blog roll links all the time but recently they seem to be having a lower effect on listings. Is there a limit on Blog roll links you place on a blog. Internal blog roll links and external blog roll links. Also do you rename your blog roll to something such as popular links like we do ?
