What is the best directory submission management software?
-
My website domain authority is 25, and my home page authority is 20. I have a lot of directory submission and link building to do. I have a spreadsheet of more than 700 directories to submit tio What is the best directory submission and link building software to help me manage this?
-
Thanks. That's really helpful. You should write an article on it!
-
You want to control your own content. Publish it to your site, and get it into search results.
Then spread the word. Let others know about your great article every way you can. If it is truly a great article, you will see it on reddit and other social tools.
Ezine articles have had their value significantly reduced since the Panda update. You certainly can share your content with other publishers, but have a clear goal in mind. You want to reach people who otherwise would never find your site. So you go ahead and share your article with other sites that have an established network of readers. This will get your site exposure and a link.
At that point, it's up to the quality of your site to retain visitors.

Sounds good to me, Do you think this should still be published as an ezine article, or just a blog post on one's own site?
-
Submitting articles to ezines is better then directory submissions, but you are still looking for the magic bullet and are not quite there yet.
Write one article about your most interesting topic. Make it the best article you have ever written. Pick a narrow niche within your topic that others would be interested in reading.
For this article, make it a work of charity. Don't think "how will I sell product X" or "how will I get people to my site" but put the reader first. Make sure the headline and the first couple sentences truly hooks readers in, or else they might not ever make it to the end of your article.
You can take a look at reddit.com and similar sites which organically promote existing articles. See which articles generate interest and which ones do not.
The key is, the article should be something readers WANT to link to and tell their friends about. This article is your link building strategy. It will offer you FREE, FAST links. You have no control over the quality of sites that will link to you, but some of them might be quite good.
-
WOW! That's just the kind of advice I've been looking for. So do you think I'm better off submitting articles to ezines and looking to something like WordTracker link building?
Thanks

My reply is not a direct response to your question, but you may find the information helpful.
You are wasting your time with directory submission. It is only slightly better then looking at your meta keywords tag and optimizing it.
A search engine's job is to offer quality results to it's users. How does your site listing in 700 directories make your web pages a better search result then another site who is not listed? It doesn't, and search engines know that. They have greatly minimized the value of directory listings, and you can anticipate that effect to increase until the vast wasteland of directory sites disappear.
If you acquire a few quality links based on providing great content and meeting the needs of your users, you will increase your domain authority and separate yourself from other sites.

Best SEO practice to redirect affiliate link
Hello, I got an affiliate program on my website, that redirects the affiliate link to the main site like: site.com/ads/aff_code/ -> site.com/ (The redirect is done using a 301 status code.) On the redirect process the site stores a cookie to track the affiliate sale. Will Google and others SE follow this permanent redirect, transferring the relevance of this affiliate link to my main site? In other words, if an affiliate does something wrong (like spams), does the bad reputation will be transferred to my main site? Is there a better way to do that from a SEO standpoint? Thanks,

What are the best SEO agencies for link building?
I am not looking for a full service SEO agency. I just want link building. Not paid links, not link networks, not blog comments, not bookmarks...real, legit, decent links. Does anyone have any experience working with an SEO agency that helped them develop their link profile positively and at a reasonable price? I'm willing to pay for the service, I just want to work with someone who won't buy links or send a bunch of spam our way. If anyone has worked with such an agency, please let me know so I can contact them for more info. Thanks!
