      Hey Guys,

      So in the past when I would build links for a client I would create a new email account or have them create a new email account for their website which I can use for email outreach for building links.

      Also I would try to use their twitter user accounts to get in contact with other niche bloggers for a potential link back or a social mention.

      Is this how you guys suggest I should continue going about building links for a client?  Or do you suggest using my email (agency email) or a random gmail account for email outreach?

      Thanks

        I never respond to anyone using a gmail account. I always think it's someone who doesn't know who to set up an email.

            Agreed, thanks for the input David.

            What is your take on creating Persona's or Pennames to promote content and acquire links for a client?

              I'd suggest sticking to creating a new email account yourself or from your customer. Its easier for you to compartmentalise what is happening, especially when there is a flood of links!!

              I think it is also ethically more correct to use a customer's email address, you after all creating the links for them, not for yourself.

                Unsolved Why Did My Site's DA Go Down After Adding New Links?

                domain authority link building website optimization

                Hi Moz Community, I've noticed my website's DA https://clean4u.org fell from 12 to 11 after adding a few links. I thought these were quality links, so I'm puzzled about the drop. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this could happen? Any advice or insight would be great! Thanks!

                Hi - We built a new site on a URL that had previously been used. We are noticing a lot of spammy backlinks pointing to our current site and ending up on a 404 page. Any recommendations on how to handle this?

                Targeting City Geo-tags/Keywords for Clients with Multiple Locations

                Hey everyone! What methods are best to use for SEO campaigns working with 1 website for a company which has 2, 3, 4, or more locations in order to get keywords for their services to rank well... in all their location cities? I feel we know the answer could be any one of the below notes, however, it's always nice to learn more about what all you other SEO's are doing or have done which saw success. Please note: We have heard about building microsites on sub-domains example city.domainname.com/keyword-or-service
                We have heard about building sections off the root domain such as domainname.com/city/keyword-or-service
                We have heard about just pushing more content to the blog which can target a wider range of keywords and cities
                We have heard about building a new site for each city location replicating the main website and swapping out content for 100% originality
                We have heard about just building more and more backlinks with different anchor text using the cities in the anchor text Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from some other experts facing these same challenges!

                How to save links from an old website when building a new website even if the site map changes?

                I have a client that needs a new website with better navigation, etc. The site has been up for a number of years and has backlinks that I would like to keep when building the new site in WordPress.

                What are some good easy links to get for new sites?

                We are in the process of launching a couple of new sites and while we know it will be a long process to get them to rank, achieving some long-tail keywords would be beneficial. What sites would you recommend for getting some easy links to start with that can help the indexation and ranking process along in the preliminary stages? Or another way to put the question - when you launch a new site, what steps do you go through?
