Top 20 sites for backlinking
-
My security jobs website was doing very well in Search engines until the penguin got hold of me. I don't profess to be at pro at SEO however seem to have a knack of getting sites to rank well. I think I made some basic mistakes with the original security jobs website, to many links to soon, so I have started again and will build up slowly the backlinks quality rather than quantity this time. My questions is what are the top 20 or so sites that are good to backlink from?

Hi Keri, i know - just habit

FYI, your keyword targeted link is a nofollow link, as are all hyperlinks in Q&A and blog comments on SEOmoz.

Think of it this way, strike up real relationships with people so that if a new update hits and all of your work is undone (doubtful) again you"ll have people who are in the same boat and will be there to work with you.
Major PR website's were devalued by Penguin anyway.

Nice answer, thanks for taking the time it is appreciated. So content is king I understand that so should I also consider submitting an article through PR Web etc?

Hi Sec Jobs,
"Top 20 sites" is a false dichotomy. Top 20 sites is not the "best of the best" but rather, what is best for you, in your location, in your industry.
So how would you go about link building in this way?
- Personally I would start blogging about the sate of security jobs in the UK.
- In order to obtain links, find security sites that have a blog in your industry, but who aren't direct competitors. and get to know the site's owner.
- After becoming chums, ask them if you can do a blog post on their site. In the blog post mention a couple of things visitors may want to check out on your site to help them, and link to those things.
That's pretty much it. content marketing is the thing. Add value and be an authority in your industry, so that when Google slaps down another penalty you'll be the one rising to the top, not getting penalized for "artificial" links.
Regards,
@bnspak

Backlinks through dofollow commenting
I'm interested in building backlinks to my photography business site by leaving good, engaging comments on other photographers' DoFollow blogs. Is this a good idea? Is it worth the effort? Through a little research, I've managed to locate more than 40 dofollow photographer blogs that have a domain authority of 35+. The idea is to take an hour or so a week to leave 10-20 comments on their blog posts. Would you consider this a good strategy? I rank on the first and second page of most of my keywords that I'm working on, but I want to rank 1st or 2nd on them. I used the keyword finder tool on google adwords to find the keywords that are the most searched for in my area. Surprisingly the competition is not large, so I'm fairly comfident I can get there. I've already optimized my site substantially and I'm looking into link building. Thoughts?

Press Release Sites
I don't do that many press releases, but I need to do one soon. I had been using PRweb.com and I see they raised their prices. Are they considered the best online PR site or are there sites people have used that have gotten similar results for less money?? Thanks

Are backlinks to a domain that redirects useless?
I am working on trying to get backlinks. We are currently redirecting a few Domains to our current domain name. One of the Domains that is redirecting is the main Domain, we will be advertising in the near future. Can I send backlinks to the redirected URL or does it only carry link juice if it is to the main Domain?
