How to SEO how-to website?
-
I've launched the website www.ComoFazer.com.br, which is a Brazilian how-to website (the domain is literally how to in Portuguese).
How can I get to the top rankings? My strategy so far:
- made all the on-page SEO stuff
- put 4 sidebar links in family websites
- bought the $90 package in GetLinksPro for 100 dofollow links
- spent about $100 in Facebook Ads to get 2k followers there
I want help regarding SEO and strategy for this kind of sites.

It would appear you are trying to become the Brazilian eHow. Given that they are not favorites of Google, etc. I would say be careful. You are already starting off using some questionable methodologies - Paid links as a starter. As to the sidebar links, they are discounted, so you need to stay after it for real quality links. If you dont mind spending a few dollars, Yahoo Directory ($295) could be a good direction. I would also insure that you are tight on local and are on every citation site you can find. There is a good list: http://www.seomoz.org/directories and here is a great Cyrus Shepard post around web directories and linking.
Obviously, your biggest challenge will be to have content around How To. So, you have your work cut out for you.
Hope this helps a bit,

Hey there Kikocherman,
I would love to help you but your question is a little vague.
-
What 'how-to' tutorials exactly is your website showing? Is it on any category or one specific category (e.g. How to repair cars)?
-
What keywords or phrases are you looking to get ranked for specifically?
-
Who is your target market?
Also just a word of advice, you should never have to buy back links to your website. Most places like that are very unreliable and only provide weak links. Just one strong, legitimate and relevant link, will easily out weight all of those purchased links. However, good call on the Facebook Ads.

How i can Reduce Spam score of my website
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -
1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories. Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google. So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content? I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links? Thanks guys!
