Backlink an article thats already on the web
-
Hey Mozers,
Just wondering I noticed a few sites show "this article first appeared on domain.com" if there has been an article published on another site and is now publsihed on ours, how do we create a backlink to say it had first appeared on "domain.com"
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks

Sorry Umar, I guess my question was, how do I grant credit to the original post? I hear it has something to do with rel=canonnical (this post was first seen on domain.com) but i guess how would I reference that in techinical terms?

hmm it would be slightly difficult to get the natural backlinks on that. Obviously, you can link it from your guest posts to other blogs but yielding natural one is bit hard.

Hi Umar,
Thanks so much for answering my questions, your feedback has been really great!
Just wanted to ask, how would you backlink to the article in technically?

Hey Edward,
It's always a pleasure to answer your questions I'll try my best to give you the satisfactory answer this time again
Edward, this practice is usually adopted for the readers and traffic.. Yes, for the readers & traffic..
Let's suppose, if I run a fitness blog and have quite decent readership. I notice that the bodybuilding.com recently featured the interview of Jay Cutler, I would love to re-publish that interview again on mine for my readers. I know, there are high chances that people have already been read about it but as you know every site has different readership belongs to entirely different geography. It would be a great read for my audience as they might have missed to read at the original place.
Plus, it will also help my blog to get rank on "Jay Cutler interviews" related queries. I know, I'll be giving away a link from my site but this one outgoing link can reap lots of benefits in terms of traffic, increasing readership, building connections with original sources etc.
Hope this helps!
Umar

High Rank and Traffic of low DA and Backlinks
Hi guys, is a pleasure being a part of this community, hope in learning a lot with you guys, i just started a year learning about SEO and it been a big journey. I was looking at some competition of some websites that i been optmizing, and i found a website that called my attention and i cant figure out whats going on, it haves huge traffic but in terms of technicall SEO is really week, and not just this but also in terms of DA and backlinks (most of them spammy - 20 backlinks), the domain in question is bhnews.com.br I notice that doesnt have any social media, not analytics, etc. The only thing that i notice is that there is a website or a company called "BH news" (televesion), but its not related with it, since the type of information that bhnews.com.br presents is "lottery" results. So this kind of situation confuses me a lot, because is a lot of hard work in optmizing a website to rank in google, and than i come a across with this type of website with 20 backlinks (most of anchor or name of domain), and than haves like 2M visits per month and ranks for keywords related with the this type of sites of lottery. Can someone tell me if there is some kind of black seo, or something that is making this rank so high? regards

Backlinks from foreign language websites?
I have faced an interesting situation about linkbuilding strategy. Currently I am doing SEO for one of my clients located in United Arab Emirates, so accordingly he has a website in English language. And keywords are in English. So what do you think, can the links placed on Russian language websites pass some link juice (make a positive impact on rankings) and in which language (Russian or English) should be the text surrounding the keyword? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Russel

Links In Blog Posts: 1 Paragraph VS. Full Article
Hey guys, I've been using an article network to post unique articles (not spun). Been posting 1 paragraph articles with 1 text link. Just wondering what the main difference would be if I were to post a full article with 2 or 3 text links vs 1 paragraph with 1 text link, besides the fact that you get more links and save more time writing only 1 paragraph. Will the full article with 3 backlinks improve keyword ranks more or not by much? Cheers!
