Is blogger could for building links
-
Hi i would like to know if blogger through google is a good way to build links and traffic. I have started to use blogger and would like to know if i am wasting my time using it for link building and traffic building for my main site
-
To be completely honest, I'd focus on the content on your site before building links to your site. I looked at a page about virtual gastric bands and the content did not appear natural or written for the user.The page I reviewed was quite long with the same phrases repeated over and over.
It doesn't matter how many links you have to a site or how many visitors you get if the visitor gets to your site and leaves right away because the content just doesn't meet their needs.
Focus your time and energy on just one main site for your practice, and make that site the best it can be. I fear you may be losing focus and trying to do too much, and letting some things slide (such as looking at the links page, you link out to sites that are hacked or no longer in existence or are under development; I don't know if they are all your sites, but I know at least some are).

Hi, the articles on there are articles i wrote but put them onto free article sites. i put them on the blog to see how it works and then i will be writing origianl content on there.
What i am looking at is, i have noticed that google picks up blogs in there blog news or when you type in a phrase into google blogs you get a load up so i was hoping that once i can work out how to make the blog look good that i can put original content on there and at the same time have links going to my site and also traffic.
I am not sure if this is worth my time or not, or if i should just put two paragraphs of the content on the blog and then have people read the rest on my site or just leave the blogging alone.
I am trying to explore new ways to get people to my site www.clairehegarty.co.uk

The content on the blogspot site appears to be identical to content on several other sites, so it's really not doing you any good. The search engines don't want to show users the page on five different URLs, so they're going to try to just pick the one best article.
My advice is to not spend your time creating duplicate articles on a blogspot domain, but instead spend that time making sure that your main domain has quality content that is written for the user, not for the search engine.

hi as i am new to blogging i have got myself a blogger account which is here
http://gastrichypnoband.blogspot.com/
To be honest i do not like it that much as there are no nice graphics that i can put anywhere and it seems limited to what i can do
but the idea is to try and promote it, well learn how to promote it and use it for articles that will not be on my site and generate interest to my site.
any advice on the best way to drive traffic to my site using this blogger would be good.
what i want is, for people to read the articles and then go to my site
-
Usually, if you're going to the trouble of creating quality content, you want to do so on your site and on a folder on your site (rather than a subdomain) if possible.
Which has more value to your site:
A page on a brand-new blogpost page that has no initial ranking, sending a link and maybe a visitor or two to your website
or
A page on your own site that already has some ranking, which will attract the visitor to your own site.
You want to build up the ranking on the site that you own and control, not stash little bits of it everywhere with free hosting plans.
-
Yes you could,
I have mine on a subdomain, http://blog.perthseocompany.com.au/
I cant point you to one right now. but there is millions
-
so say if i had a blog on my account and i was writing lots of different blogs, could i add a link each time to my site.
do you please have an example of a blog with a website
-
Well of cause it would. if you get a link to it, you get the link juice. I think your hoster is thinking what is best for him.
This is what I would do, it may not suit you, I would get a PC and instal IIS web server(free with windows 7) on it, and host your own website and blog, the cost of the pc would soon be covered by saving on hosting costs and bother of not having direct access to your site.
Or at least get a new hoster where you have very good control.
I work on windows servers and adding a blog to your web site with IIS takes lessd than 5 minutes. there is some very cheap hosters where you can get all this functionaly for $10 a month, discount asp is one.

i like the sound of this alan, can you explain about joining a blog to my site. i did ask my hosting company about this but they said that i would be wasting my time as it would not bring me any extra juice to my site but then i have heard people say it does. would love to learn more
-
you could always pass a few links to your site, but you would need to promote your blog first so your not really getting anywhere.
What i would do is add a blog to your main site or a subdomain of your main site. you can then shape your jink juice with internal linking and any links you attract will help your main site also.

Disavow links and domain of SPAM links
Hi, I have a big problem. For the past month, my company website has been scrape by hackers. This is how they do it: 1. Hack un-monitored and/or sites that are still using old version of wordpress or other out of the box CMS. 2. Created Spam pages with links to my pages plus plant trojan horse and script to automatically grab resources from my server. Some sites where directly uploaded with pages from my sites. 3. Pages created with title, keywords and description which consists of my company brand name. 4. Using http-referrer to redirect google search results to competitor sites. What I have done currently: 1. Block identified site's IP in my WAF. This prevented those hacked sites to grab resources from my site via scripts. 2. Reach out to webmasters and hosting companies to remove those affected sites. Currently it's not quite effective as many of the sites has no webmaster. Only a few hosting company respond promptly. Some don't even reply after a week. Problem now is: When I realized about this issue, there were already hundreds if not thousands of sites which has been used by the hacker. Literally tens of thousands of sites has been crawled by google and the hacked or scripted pages with my company brand title, keywords, description has already being index by google. Routinely everyday I am removing and disavowing. But it's just so much of them now indexed by Google. Question: 1. What is the best way now moving forward for me to resolve this? 2. Disavow links and domain. Does disavowing a domain = all the links from the same domain are disavow? 3. Can anyone recommend me SEO company which dealt with such issue before and successfully rectified similar issues? Note: SEAGM is company branded keyword 5CGkSYM.png

No. of links on a page
Is it true that If there is a huge number of links from the source page then each link will provide very little value in terms of passing link juice ?

Any value in external links to image files?
Let's say you have www.example.com. On this website, you have www.example.com/example-image.jpg. When someone links externally to this image - like below... { is < {a href="www.example.com/example-image.jpg"} {img src="www.example.com/example-image.jpg"} {/a} The external site would be using the image hosted on your site, but the image is also linked back to the same image file on your site. Does this have any value even though the link is back to the image file and not the website? Also - how much value do you guys feel image links have in relation to tech links? In terms of passing link juice and adding to a natural link profile. Thanks!

What do you do about links to constantly moving pages?
One of the sites I work for is an employment site, they have a job database and the job pages tend to get links. The problem is that every time one of these jobs is filled, the job page goes away. What should I do to keep the value from these links?
