Strategy When Building Links
-
When you build links do you keep track of every single link that you put out there? Or do you start and what to see what shows up in OSE? Some of these links take time so you would have to go back and check to see if it stuck. Im just trying to put together a procedure to follow. Also spread they out correctly, org, .net ,. com blogs, blog posts. etc
Just curious how everyone else does it, so its easier to manage & track.
Thanks !!

If you are commenting on a blog for links, you're commenting on a blog for the wrong reason. If it's not held in moderation by software, usually a good admin will spot it and remove it -- and if it's not removed, it's likely that the link isn't very worthwhile in the first place (such as an abandoned blog on an .edu domain that has 8000 comments with link drops).
If you are commenting on a blog to be part of the conversation, you would want to either subscribe to comments by email or bookmark the comment so you can come back and be part of the community.

I just want to make sure that I have a good start, and do things right, also make sure my link types are correct ratio.
THANKS!

Do you have a template that you wouldn't mind sharing? Just so I have a base to work off of?
Thanks so much!!

Hi LittleBigMan,
I actually do record every link that I want to target and achieve. Basically I make a large list with the websites I want to target along with contact details. I then jot down whether I contacted them or not + if I achieved gaining a link on the website. I think it's good to keep track of the links you gain, for example if you once contacted a website and they said that they would link to you, but then forgot about it, you can quickly shoot them back an email to remind them (if that makes sense). Another reason to record the links down is if you come across a website in the future that you like, you can quickly check in the spreadsheet whether you or a workmate have contacted the website in the past, as it may be a waste of time contacting them again.
Also, some clients enjoy seeing the links you gained in their monthly report.
Good luck!

Thanks, Only reason I ask is for ex. commenting on a blog, sometimes they throw them into moderation queue, so i was thinking to go back and see if it was approved, or just so I can see where my links are active.
Gernerally speaking, If you were building an inner page how would you approach it?
Blogs, Bookmarks,? I want to keep my ratio in check and make sure that I dont have too many of one link and not enough of another, to keep it as natural as possible/.
Thanks very much!!

Build them,forget them. It's a natural process of the web. You will always be loosing some links, but then you should always be gaining some links. That's just like any other company/brand should be. That's what natural right. You advertise on TV, Radio,Run a contest, do something creative in your community, industry and bloggers, website owners are linking to you. You start working with a company, a product and they run a press release...those are links. A very small percentage of your links get dropped for whatever reasons. People shutting down their websites, getting acquired...or whatever other reasons could be.
So concentrate your time on Good content, good links. Don't worry too much about your existing links. Some people may disagree and that's fine. It just depends on how you think about SEO as a whole. I think of SEO as a Best Practice on what you need to feed the bots as well as Brand Building...which leads to success.

link building problems
Hello everyone
Link Building | | mkeshavarzmozprodt
I am not sure about the way Moz rank websites but sometimes I think it's a bit confusing. As an example, it kept changing in 3 days by going up and down. In addition, It is not compatible with my Ahrefs ranking. Would you please tell me which one is more correct and accurate in terms of my website authority?
It would be my pleasure if you take look at it first. Thank you in advance.

I have a client who does not actively participate in the content writing or resource providing part of optimization or link building. I want to build some more links to the site outside of content spreading and guest blogging.

Two link building proposals, which one is better?
Hi there, Our site has a DA of 73, MozRank 5.40, MozTrust 5.88, and over 45,000 external links. We haven't done any offsite SEO before, we got to where we are today organically. We're thinking about hiring a link building firm to help increase our rankings and we've received two proposals. Firm A offered to build us 30 links from DA 50+ sites over 3 months. The anchor text will most likely just be our domain name. Firm B offered to build us 90 links from PR2+ sites over 3 months. They have control over the anchor text. Given our site's profile, which proposal makes more sense for us? Would either of these initiatives move the needle for us? Thanks.

Link Building Strategy - Please Give Feedback
Hi, I"m moving forward with link building for nlpca(dot)com and here's my plan I know my industry, keywords, and this site very well so I'll start by: Analyze Top content for top 10 competitors and see where the links are currently going. I'm assuming a competitor is someone similar to me and not sites like wikipedia in this case Make a spreadsheet for all of the worthwhile links that I find by using OSE and the top 10 competitors, places where if we're good enough we can get a link on that page. See what they're linking to Use (1) and (2) to discover what stelllar targeted content to build Use infographics, a blog, and articles to build targeted content to request a link from the people in (2) building out facebook, twitter, and Google +1 for the site is coming too. Your thoughts? I'm completely open to improvements via feedback.
