What are your best tactics for promoting an infographic?
-
What tactics have you found to be effective in promoting an interesting infographic that you have created?
-
One thing I found works well is to engage with as many of the people you want to use the infographic as possible before you contact them with the image.
I try and connect with them on Twitter, leave a comment on a blog post (with a link to my twitter rather than my website so it does not look like I am trying to spam the blog) or help them in some way.
Along the help lines I have found an email telling them about a broken link or an error on their site is a good way to get their attention. Then when they say thank you I reply with a question about their work, ask for their advice on something related to what they do and mention I am putting together the graphic, if possible I incorporate the information they have given me into the infographic and let them know.
Then when the infographic is ready to send I let them have an advanced copy along with any data used to produce the statistics in it.
In my mind I came up with these ideas but I am sure the truth is more along the lines of the day I spent going through the posts in the link Keri has been kind enough to post, it may take a while to read but it is full of great information.
I think all the information and tips boil down to give the audience something they want and give them a reason to take it from you.
I hope that makes sense

Many of our best links are to our old domain. Problem?
Hi, around 7 years ago the organization I'm with switched their domain name. When doing link analysis some of our best links are to the old domain including a followed link from an article on the BBC news site. The old domain has been 301 redirecting to the new domain for years. Is it worth the time to contact the sites that are linking to the old domain? Or, will all or the majority of the link juice be given to the newer domain with the 301 redirect? Thanks!

What is the best way to pass link juice?
We have an e-commerce site that, according to Moz, has too many on page links. The main navigation has top level links and about 45 sub-category links. Our question is -- Should we keep the main navigation and top level categories as do follow and change the sub-category navigation to no follow? Or, should we make the top level categories no follow and keep the sub-category navigation do follow?
