Tips to Get People to Share User Reviews Pages?
-
I'd like to know if you have some ideas / advice on how to get people to share or link to user reviews pages? I mean unlike blog posts, it's more difficult to promote this kind of content.
Here's an example: http://www.webhostinghero.com/reviews/inmotion-hosting/
I mean I just can't post links to the review pages on social networks, forums, whatever, that would be just plain spammy.
-
Here's a quick couple of ideas to help jog your thinking:
- An off-site article/blog post for a web design community that discusses examples of various looks for "review pages"
- An off-site article/blog post on a humor or other hosting review site that points out some of "The funniest hosting reviews ever written"
- An off-site article/blog post on a career site about how a faceless systems admin decided to step up into the limelight and interact publicly with his customers online by becoming a web host.

I would start by sharing them yourself. Sounds spammy doesn't it? You can do it in a way that is not spammy though, let me tell ya how.
I am familiar with inmotion, I don't really care for them either, but at the same time I am a moderator for an e-commerce package called Prestashop. All the time people are asking for hosting recommendations, so this would be helpful to those people. The great part is, Prestashop has two hosting partners that they recommend, A2 and Inmotion. They have deals worked out with both of those companies, check here http://www.prestashop.com/en/industry-partners (because of ajax, I cannot directly link you, but click webhosting partners)
This leads me to what I would do if I were you, I would troll the boards and look for people wanting recommendations, post a short message about inmotion and a link to the reviews. In the case of Prestashop I know with almost 100% certainty that it would not get flagged as spam since you are promoting a partner.
Most hosting companies have partnerships with other companies, use that and exploit it. Once you start posting the reviews, it will be more viable for other people to start posting them as well.

KWs for review site: target *product* or *product review*?
Hi there,
Affiliate Marketing | | Ltsmz
Goal: increase organic targeted buyers traffic on a review site.
What I'm working on now: page optimization According to Google's Keyword Tool usually the keyword Product has 50x searches than Product Review. If you haven't tried it before you don't know how weird it sounds inserting too many times the keyword Product Review inside an actual review. Given that my goal is to increase organic targeted buyers traffic on a review site. My questions are: Do you target product or product review? If you target product review does it make any difference if I insert the keyword product review in sidebar, menu, footer, breadcrumbs instead than in the actual body of the review? What is best? Body or surrounding? Getting back-links on a blog is fairly easy. Anybody has any suggestion on how to get targeted backlinks for a review affiliate site or in general how to increase the organic targeted buyers traffic? Thank youD.0 -
Advise about Social Sharing between two loosely affiliated website - (retweets/fb cross sharing)
So basically, I have two websites. One being my Primary website and another which is very Niche/Seasonal. Now the Niche website received a penalty, and was later re-included however google traffic has been extremely limited since being reindexed. (bing never had a problem, still top ranked) I don't directly link back and forth between the two websites because its not worth hurting my primary websites ranking. I'm sure google knows I own both anyway, as they are on the same webmaster tools but the Niche site was kicked for spammy link building & its been an endless process removing them all. Anyway, with that being my concern. Would it be acceptable to cross share facebook posts, retweet and do things like that on occasion? My primary reason for asking is because the Niche website has a very large social following, so I would like to share post/tweets from my Primary site when its relevant and vice versa. Appreciate any suggestions/comments. Thanks!

Banner Ads Without Getting Penalised?
Hi All, Basically I have 3-4 Biggish video autoblogs that I keep tabs on and they pull videos on my niche and are actually decent quality websites they are just autoblogs as they automatically get the youtube videos. The issue is that I want to advertise my brandnew site on them as I'm selling a service in the same niche. I know that nofollow will not pass rank and should be safe but what is the absolute safest way to put banner advertisements on these sites without being penalised? I'm wanting the advertisements for advertisement purposes not link building. I'm worried about getting 10k+ links from the same domain x4 and google not only noticing that but linking the fact I own all 5 sites.. Any help would be great. Thanks

Thoughts on how to make this page better
I wrote a post that's doing really well in search and want to take it up a notch. It's about ipad cases for kids. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can step the page up a bit. Maybe add sub headings for the various iPads? Something else? When I wrote this post the new batch of ipad's weren't out so I'm thinking I should add subheadings for the various ipads. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Affiliate code in urls? affiliate link landing pages?
Is it considered a good or bad practice to have the affiliate code present in your affiliate link url's ? (as opposed to disguising them with something like phpbay) Does the general public not scour the hover-over url's of links they click? Also, is there any way of keeping customers on site when they click affiliate links? (via frames or something more modern) Or is that frowned upon by advertisers?

How much SEO benefit am I getting from 'affiliate' links?
Hi all, We run lots of different campaigns with affiliates and as such they have links on their websites pointing back to ours. I was keen to know how much 'link-juice' these kinds of links are passing back to our websites or how much SEO benefit we are getting from them. The links have "?=affiliate" in them. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! Many thanks! Rob
