Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?
-
Good day. I am writing articles for submission, I would just like some help with the page structure. Do I only include the link for the page that I would like to promote or is it advisable to include other page links, such as home page or the parent category too? Any help would be appreciated

@effectdigital You should do both but mention the homepage where it seems appropriate, such as a blog about the industry. It brings overall value to the site.

Hello Dear!
Yes, you can add links to your article but not doing stuffing and bolding so many keywords if you do then your website will not visible on SERPs. Because it has a way you did spam.
For Example:
Your article is all about SEO Services
So You go to create a link that you are promoted like this SEO Services in Lahore -
the same number of connections as you have to get your 'important' and 'convincing' thought or substance crosswise over to the end client. Connection to the spots which are applicable on your site, which interface most emphatically with the substance
There are no firm guidelines in Digital PR, other than 'have a thought' and advance it successfully. On the off chance that your article is about a particular item, connection to the particular item. Specialty the connection with the most brief client venture, which will madden end-clients the least. That is you absolute best at better than average inbound SEO value stream SEO Services in Pakistan

Thanks so much, appreciate the time

That's exactly right. As long as the links could be useful to a user, as long as the page upon which the links exist sees traffic and is editorial in nature, then you could see some SEO gains.
If you want to you can even link to resources on other websites entirely, as long as they contribute something substantial to your study and you can demonstrate that the information has been verified in some way.
Links for no reason other than SEO benefit seldom pass much link-juice, so I'd leave them out. Even if they work initially, they often get de-valued later (which is a whole 'nother ballpark of problems!)

Hi Thanks for your input. What i am currently doing is doing original pieces for each page that I would like to rank for. They are informative in terms of mattress buying advice, where to look for them, what to look out for etc. I am very tight when it come to any form of self promotion. each piece is 100% original and submitted on its own. No software and no spinning.
So for example I write a piece on what types of mattresses do what, where the best place to look for them is, what sort of signs to look for for defects etc. At the very end of the page I include a link to my page that is relevant to the content that I have written, purely as a suggestion that the particular page link may be of help to them. So whilst that link is to a sub domain I was just wondering if there should be other links to other pages or if that one sub domain link is best practice.
If I understand you correctly it may be ok to include a link to some other non promotional types of links like a post to sleep tips and probably not a good idea to include links to home for no specific reason other that link strength?

If you are stating that you have proper content, which you are seating on a site as one single editorial placement (which is non-advertorial in nature, which will not be syndicated to more than one site) then it all depends upon the context of the hyperlink.
If you want your link-building to work, there are a myriad of technical and Google-policy related factors which will impact the (SEO) authority flow. One thing you really need to consider, is relevance. Most people look at relevance in an overly-simplistic sense which considers only thematic or linguistically semantic relevance.
For example, most people would say that a link from a car insurance site, to a car dealership page, which used anchor-text containing the word 'car' was relevant. Both sites are (to some degree) about cars and the anchor text matches, so the link is relevant, right?
WRONG
What you also have to consider is, why would a user 'follow' your hyperlink? Google wants to weight links which are editorial in nature (non-ad based, not paid for) which web-users actually follow and use on the web. If a link exists 'just for SEO' and no users will follow it, if the link was paid for - it's not a 'relevant' link
You have to make your hyperlinks 'user-relevant', not just 'SEO-relevant'. Having a linked theme and a splash of copy on some unknown page of the web, isn't enough to rank well (sorry). Art least, not for competitive terms!
If my hypothetical car insurance company and the related car dealership worked on a mutual partnership where no money changed hands, which created something enticing - which encouraged traffic to flow through the hyperlink... well, you might just have a 'real' relevant link at that point. Maybe the dealership and insurance companies used some of their data and combined it in a way which created unique articles or infographics (example: "did you know that cars bought at brand-approved dealerships are less likely to be part of a claim within ten years?" etc.)
Maybe they threw in some discounts whilst working together, to sweeten the deal and get people to use the link(s) within their co-authored content. That's what real link building is
**If however, you are using some kind of free article-submission software or article-network **(which no one really reads), it is extremely unlikely that anything you do with the link(s) will produce considerable SEO ranking-power
So to finally answer your question about, how many links should you include? Where should they go? The answer is variable, but basically boils down to: as many links as you need to get your 'relevant' and 'compelling' idea or content across to the end user. Link to the places which are relevant on your site, which connect most strongly with the content
There are no hard-and-fast rules in Digital PR, other than 'have an idea' and promote it effectively. If your article is about a specific product, link to the specific product. Craft the link with the shortest user-journey, which will infuriate end-users the least. That's you best shot at decent inbound SEO equity flow

SEO Questions & Help
I have a woo commerce shop in the firearms industry which makes advertising even more difficult because no FB, IG, or Google campaigns. I do have other sources of advertising but I'm a complete noob when it comes to SEO and the like. I know it exists and its important and that's the extent of it. I was thinking of hiring someone on Upwork to take care of this on my website but what kinds of questions/things I should look out for to keep from getting scammed? Any tips would be appreciated

Shortened page titles and changed urls to match, will this effect my page rankings?
In my recent crawl, I was given a bunch of 200 errors for having titles too long, i rewrote the titles and changed the URLs to match (using wordpress). I was then informed by my boss that changing the URLs like I did (www.website.com/abc ->www.website.com/xyz) may have changed our page rank for those pages and if so i should revert them to the old urls. There are about 14 titles in total that I made these changes to. Would it be quicker to change the URL's to their old names, or better for me to use 301 redirects to point the old urls to the new ones? Will either renaming the urls of the new titled blogs with their old titles or using 301 redirects have better SEO results? Does wordpress automatically make these redirects for me? When I click a link of the old urls I kept saved in a document it still goes to the page.

Authorship on Pages
Hi there - I have just been told that it is a big "no no" to add authorship to a standard page and that it should only be used on blog posts. Is this true? What are the negative effects of using authorship on a page? I added the rel="author" tag to a page that talks about a member of our team and a few weeks ago his picture started showing next to the search results entry on Google - great for click through rate, however is this improper usage? Any help welcome!

Best way to publish FAQs to capture long tail traffic?
If you want to target long tail traffic from commonly asked questions what is the best way to publish answers to these questions? A really long FAQ page, a new page for each question in a /faq/ subfolder, adding them to relevant product pages that already exist? Is creating a new page for each question a problem because the answer might be a paragraph and Google doesn't like thin content?

Google RSS Feed News Feed To Inner Pages
Ive been working on a large ecommerce website that has thousands of pages, although we are working on adding custom content daily to the largest pages, we have "defaul content" with dynamic tags matching search query. Someone recommend we add a google Rss feed where they can also add some type of tag. Is this a bad idea? Ive asked in the past but my main concern is issue with duplicate content, It would be next to impossible to have all pages filled with custom content. Any help much appreciated!! Thank you!

What is the best practice for using the same content on two pages?
I have two websites in a very similar niche(s)...I have good unique content article that I would like to use on both sites because it adds value to the visitor experience.. Example: Science of Colors would be very useful for my seattle house painting paint colors page. I want to have content so they do not need to leave the site to navigate to second site. Would the identical content trigger a penalty or would it be crawled, ignored, and not indexed. Does having a rel=authorship on one site trump the site..Or is it a pile of BAD.
