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.

If anyone is aware of anything similar, we'd love to hear about it. Thanks in advance!

Internal linking anchor text with automated ASP.NET link building
Hi Everyone I really need some help here, the problem I have must be one that many have. I have a simple e-commerce style website so 1 product page can in fact get 40-50 internal links to it. These links come from a mixture of: 1. The parent category pages that the product sits on (Rugged PDA) and in turn the 10 filter pages of this category page (Rugged PDA, ordered by battery size). 2. Alternative product list on other product pages, So many products link to each other as alternatives. From Google analytics we can see that visitors like to browse product to product seeing 5 alternatives on each page with titles like "Smaller", "more rugged" etc. 3. Manufactuer pages, so we have a link to each product from each manufacturer home page where we talk lots about each manufacture we resell. We also have links from images used in the website. So its a nice usable website but we're finding that Google is still telling us in Webmaster tools that it thinks some links are dubious and we're trying to find out why. We only now have 190 external links to the website, most are internal and from the website or our blog on a subdomain. The problem we think is that we generate the category and products pages all dynamically so the anchor text is looking the same. Will this potentially create issues for us? Dave

What do you use to gather and build Links?
I was just wondering what do most people use for gathering and building links? Is OpenSiteExplorer enough? When I am analysing competitors, there are literally thousands of links, how do you scan them and select the ones you want to use? Any other tools?

What are your favorite link building tools?
I know there are a bunch out there, but I'd love to hear your guys thoughts. The more tools you post, and the more unknown they are (i.e. everyone knows OSE, Raven Tools, Buzzstream, Ontolo, etc.), the more I'd love the answer. Also, it doesn't have to be a comprehensive tool. Even if it's a bookmarklet, or something that solves one specific tedious task, I'd love to hear about it! 🙂

Link building by inviting bloggers
Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to SEO, and I have a question on a link building strategy for a holiday resort I am working on. The resort has a paintball arena and zorbing facilities at their premises. I want to use this in the link building strategy and the owners have agreed to have an open day for bloggers. Basically the resort will invite 20 local bloggers for a day to their resort. They get to play paintball, zorbing and get to see the resort in exchange for an honest write up about their day at the resort. I am looking at asking the bloggers to write about the event twice (Once before, and once after they visit the resort) with a minimum of 4 links to the website. I want to know how I can identify the top bloggers? What factors should I consider while making a list of 20 bloggers, and how do I measure these factors? Also, is this a good strategy for link building? And please feel free to add anything else you think I am missing out on, or will help in the link building. Cheers! Arjun

Link Building: Asking for links versus building links
I am currently delving into link building for SEO having started out from a social media marketing side. From that angle, it was always my belief building high quality links came from engaging targeted bloggers and sites in my market and related verticals for product reviews and/or providing expert advise and opinion for posts they are creating. As I am learning more the "technical" side of SEO, I've read a lot of posters on here talk about asking from links from websites. While I get the concept from a strategic stand point, are links really asking for or is better to continue to pursue the long term investment of pitching to get coverage from well known bloggers and sites?
