How to Add Content to a Product-Focused Site
-
I recently took over management of the SEO work for the following site: http://www.grovercorp.com/rings-and-seals/. I want to do link building, but don't have a ton of experience with it.
From what I've read, offering linkable content is the best way to get links. However, this site -- like many in industrial B-2-B -- is focused primarily on promoting their products. I'd like tto offer an article or add an infographic, but am not sure where I would put it? It doesn't seem like the architecture offers a good place to add linkable content.
Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

All good points. I've had a similar experience dealing with e-commerce sites like this and figuring out where/how to add content. I think you start with your products. Make each page as detailed and descriptive as you possibly can. This means everything from how the product is made, where it's made, it's uses, etc (all original copy if you can write it). Then add multiple pictures, possibly different angles, maybe even packaging. Then, one of the biggest things, add customer reviews. That's user generated content that people WANT to read when looking at an online store. The goal is to provide the customer with as much information as possible. Almost as if they are in a store, holding the product, asking a salesperson questions. Put it all out there for the user to see, and you're off to a great start. Here's an older, yet still useful, whiteboard friday by Rand from about a year ago on the subject.

Consider posting detailed article pages that enthusiastically show how to use your products with lots of photos, graphics and maybe video. Create some showing the benefits of using your products. These should not be chest-thumping content, instead friendly and generously informative.
Promote them across the site with "Learn How To Use This Product" links or images.
These detailed pages might attract links. They can boost your credibility. People will use them as reference documents. Make them easily printable for use offline.

a very quick review of your site showed some promise. you have a section for case studies etc.. you can use case studies to garner industry expertise and link build from that.
Another great way to start adding content to any type of website is a blog. if you were to add an industry specific blog to the site you could quickly start conversations with your b2b customers. Remember to provide industry specific news and thought stewardship and you can help link / content build very quickly. From there you can run some social twitter, fb, etc. and hopefully start growing links from that. personally I dont see much room on fb for my b2b, but i still see a lot of growth on twitter.
one last thought is to work with your happy customers to provide back links or cross links to start building out some good linking techniques..
just a quick .02 Im sure others will have some great ideas too

I am in a similar situation. Your best bet would be a blog or something similar covering industry news or company related information, such as new features or similar. Also guides or so could be one source. It is difficult for this kind of website though to release content without it seeming out of place.

Links Removed from Site but not Google Webmaster Tools
I have a new client who has been fighting to get past an unnatural links penalty. One of the biggest reasons behind it was that they paid to get a followed link/ad on a blog network, well this ad ended up being a site wide link which ended up giving them thousands of back links within a few days. After getting the owner of the blog network to remove the link i manually spot checked a handful of pages and used screaming frog to crawl looking for a link referencing their site. From what i can tell they are all gone. However they are still in Google Webmaster Tools as well as Google's index and it has been a couple months since they have been removed. Does anyone have any advice on getting them removed from Google's entities even though they are already off of the website? Thank you in advance,

Multiple links from a single web-site
When one good web-site (PR5) has a link to my web-site - it's great. But, if this site has a second link to my web-site from another page, is this also good? Or, let me ask in a different way, will my web-site get "double benefit" from that web-site?

Linking to a site in the US from a site in the UK - Good, bad or not important?
Would linking to a site in the US from the UK do harm or good if the site being linked to is industry related? i.e. a UK web design company linking to a US web design career site.

Safe to link to another site you own?
Hi mozzers, I have some external links on a resource page on my established site. I have a new site in the same niche with content that if linked to, would improve the resource page. If I linked to it using branded anchor text, would it be safe? My thoughts are yes...as long as it adds value and isnt keyword anchored. The sites are on different C class IPs Would welcome some thoughts Peter

Templated content = duplicate content?
I'm curious where the line is drawn for "duplicate content" by the search engines. Obviously the same article, or even the same article with minor edits, can and should be detected as duplicate. I have a use case where there is a database of similar, but not duplicate, content that changes as time passes. I want to serve this content up via html template but don't want the 1000 pages to be considered duplicates of each other. Example: Imagine local weather. You could create a template for city name, longitude, latitude, altitude, and current weather conditions. The values for all fields would be different for each of the 1000 database entries (cities) and one of the "current weather conditions" would change frequently (hourly, let's say). Now, if I have a nice heirarchical index pages (first one maybe points to 50 state sub-pages, and each state page points to 20 city pages) that point to the 1000 city-specific pages, would the city-specific pages be considered 'duplicate' since they are based on the same HTML template but all have different values in key areas? Does the answer change based on the % of the template (or visible text) that changes for each city? My goal is to get these 1000 subpages as part of my site, have them indexable, and have them each flow a little bit of link juice to my home page. Best practices? What should I be careful of? Thanks!
