Link building from keyword domains
-
Hi all,
I am currently working on link building to our site http://www.betxpert.com which has a number of keywords I am targeting. I have become aware that domains with the keywords are available. We (in Danish) target the phrase "ekpert tips" and the domain www.eksperttips.dk is available.
Would it be a good thing for us, to register this domain and do one of the following things:
a) DNS forward traffic to our main site
b) Build a small blog with minor content and linking to the main site with text links with the tekst "ekspert tips"?
c) Simply do nothing, save the money and spend it otherwise...
Hope someone can give me a sound advice.
Best regards,
Rasmus

And how much search does 'ekpert tips' get?
You might find you get a EMD boost, connect this with a little link building and I wouldn't be surprised if you got the 'ekpert tips domain' up to position 1-3.
I would then either direct the traffic through to a page on your main site which went into much more detail on the tips and try and get some social sharing going which will benefit your main site or run the EMD for 6 months also focusing on social sharing, getting links back, after the EMD has built up some moz auth redirect it to your site.
That's just me.

10 on google.dk - so it could use a bit of improvement.

Where does betxpert.com rank for 'ekpert tips'?
-
a).301 the domain to the main site if it has lot of back links from other relevant websites.
b) if you run a blog on the keyword rich domain than maintain the blog. add new relevant contents daily. Because of your domain name you wont face much problem in getting top 10 ranking for 'ekspert tips'
c) Register this domain if possible. You can use it as a landing page to acquire leads.

Well, actually. We have lots of visitors, and the blog/forwarding site would probably not serve much other purpose than SEO and a bit trafficing.
But if i was to create some content on a blog for link building to my main site, would it be beneficiary to do it on a domain with a keyword in the domain name or does it not matter?

Hi Rasmus,
I don't see how creating a new domain with a blog/forwarding traffic will benefit your visitors.
If you want to produce a blog, host it on your main site and spend the money on cool content to help draw in the crowds.
I don't think that owning a keyword rich domain nam is going to help you. Also, you may wish to vary your anchor texts too.

What is the importance of root domains linking to your website in Google's rankings? I notice our competition has a much higher number on keywords I'm analyzing. Thank you!
I've noticed our competition has a much higher number of "root domains" linking to their page than we do. Is this simply a result of more websites linking to them? How long does it normally take to build up these numbers/rankings? (I'm assuming it's a concerted effort, which I'll be researching.) Thank you!

Link Building
I'm having difficulty creating a solid link base. I would prefer to only have links that are on relevant sites that are likely to drive traffic rather then just adding my company page to site directories. I've checked out the whiteboard Friday edition of link building and have also used the new Moz analytics that helps recommend sites to link to, but all the recommendations were directories. So, could anyone hold my hand and guide me through the world of Link building? Your help, as always, is much appreciated. Thanks everyone Dave

How can I find all the outbound links from a website domain?
I want to find all the outbound links (basically whatever comes in <a>tag) from a domain (say www.abc.com) as well as all the subdomains under it (say abc.com/a etc). Open Site Explorer provides the inbound links from a website but does not provide any functionality to get all the outbound links from a website. Is it possible to do?</a> <a>Thanks in advance.

Link & Content Building
this is a tough one for me. Some of you know that the average SEO contract is fairly limited in budget.Clients in very competitive industries are fearing spending a lot on SEO. I do not think I should list the reasons for this.what do you do with limited budgets for SEO.The onsite-technical optimization is fairly easy and take much prsonal labor but it is manageable.The off-site optimization, links, content , and just getting you client out there is time and funds consuming over the scope of regular projects I know.My question is what do you do with onsite optimization really. I am sure some advice will include write great content, get it out there, guest blogging however those are not readily available and are not fitting the scope of any project.what do you think?

Best link building activities to increase velocity.
I'm running my own web based company selling security software. I'm a one man band and do the programming, web design, SEO etc. all myself. I've taken a very white hat approach so far and spend all my time writing guest posts and getting them published on tech blogs (I get 3-5 links per week doing this). The only tool I use is Buzzstream and I've been doing this for about 6 months now. I'm starting to see a few results but whenever I look at my competitors I see they have links from thousands of root domains. I feel like I need to increase my link building velocity with a new activity which will yield a much greater number of links than I am able to create using my guest posting strategy. I'm not keen to start spamming article directories or any other short term activity. I dedicate about 8 hours per week to SEO and I could afford to spend around $700 per month if necessary. Any help would be much appreciated.
