Best Link Building Practice
-
Are there any articles or tutorials here about how to build links? The only two methods I've been able to uncover are using OSE to analyze competitors backlinks and directory listings. I'm thinking there must be other ways.
-
What I do, is to check the link structure of my competitors. Get a list of their backlinks and their anchor texts. Diversification of anchor text got quiet important nowadays. This allows you to see which anchors are used and in which ratio. Then I check the link list for structure. Often you can easily see where the basic links like directories social networks etc come from and where the real juicy links are comming from. Once you know the structure of your competitor you can easily build links in a similar structure or adjust this strategy according to your needs.
But the best trick is to deliver content the users are starving for. Once you did this. They will spread links all over the internet. Another good way is to start a linkbait and offer something bloggers love
Please excuse my english as I am German native and have to do some phone calls beside writing ;D

Be sure to view Rand's recent webinar The Future of Link Building.
You can also try the Juicy LInk Finder tool from SEOMoz though I've had trouble getting it to work recently.

Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

Link Building PR versus topic
Regarding link building, what counts the most in terms of PR and relevance(topic). Is it whether, the link comes from a domain/page with high domain/page rank or that the link come from a domain with similar/relevant content? I know, we should always aim to get links from domains with both relevance and good page rank. But which is most important? For example: If we have a web site about swiss made watches. Should i focus on getting links from other domains with information about swiss made watches. Or can i achieve just as good link juice, by getting links from un-related web sites with high PR? We will of course get more qualified traffic from related domains. But from a pure search ranking, what plays the biggest factor?

Marketing URLs - best practices
Hi, We do have a consistent url structure like http://www.company.com/productname-london
Link Building | | ecnic
http://www.company.com/productname-auckland
etc. Now marketing wants to include each URL in our yearly printed catalogue.
Out of marketing reasons (I agree with that), they think the URLs are too long and should be for example: http://www.company/london
http://www.company/auckland
etc. Our brochure is very important for direct customers and we have a target group that actively uses the internet and social media and therefore will pick up these links. Even if we do correct redirects in the background - couldn't we have the problem
that we have a double set of urls? What do you think about that?0
