Gained my first quality link, was it worth 2 hours of work?
-
Hello,
I'm a newbie. I'm building a brand new site. In a niche service business, worldwide.
Today I gained my first link, I tried to reach to the highest qualify link I could identify.
I'd like to know if you think my two hours effort was worthy, or laughable. Because I can gain other 3 or 4 links from other domains working like that.I tell you where is my first link:
the top domain is in the same niche business, DA 79
My link is in a subdomain page (always in the same niche business) that has:-
20 other links (mine is the only external dofollow)
-
Domain Authority 79 /100
-
Page Authority 31 /100
-
Page Link Metrics Just-Discovered 79 in 32 Days
-
Established Links 1 Root Domain 4 Total Links
-
the homepage of the subdomain has Page Authority of 66 /100
-
Page Social Metrics 0 0 0 0 0
I'd appreciate any feedback.

1. Does your links and content match what is already on the website? It has to look natural and fit in with the theme of the website.
100% yes.
2. What are the other posts like? Do they look paid?
No, they don't.
2. Are the links followed or no-followed? Mine is one of very external few followed, in all the subdomain.
3. Are people commenting on posts?
No stil 100% sure, But I bet the'll comment soon
4. Is the website pushing your content through social channels?
Unfortunately not.
Thank you for your attention, this is a solid feedback for me.

hi,
Well done on getting your first link, it's good to see people using the right techniques in order to gain links. Looking at stats of a page is a decent gauge of the quality but I also recommend our clients to look at the website as a whole. When deciding whether your to get a link from a website consider the following;
1. Does your links and content match what is already on the website? It has to look natural and fit in with the theme of the website.
2. What are the other posts like? Do they look paid? if so then you may be submitting your content to the wrong website. Are the links followed or no-followed?
3. Are people commenting on posts? You want people to interact with your posts because that is how you attract people to your website.
4. Is the website pushing your content through social channels? Ideally you want this so your post gets maximum exposure.
If you consider these 4 things when you are looking to push your content then you should be fine. To summarise,check the website for these 4 things are you'll know how much traction your post is going to get. If it ticks 3 or 4 of these points then I'd say it was 2 hours well spent!
Good luck.

When pitching a whitepaper as Push Content for Link Building, is it ok to give the person I'm pitching a link to a landing page with a form on it?
When pitching a whitepaper as Push Content for Link Building (i.e. pushing out content that my client has created), is it ok to give the person I'm pitching a link to a landing page with a form on it? Or should I create a landing page with the whitepaper included on it? I’m not sure if the client will be ok with this b/c I know they use the whitepaper for sales purposes to gain leads. For example, my pitch email would include a line such as this, "the whitepaper can be found at LINK and I'd love if you could share it with your readers." I think it may be weird/a little wrong to ask a webmaster to include a link on his site to a landing page with a form to get the whitepaper. Does this make sense? What have others done with whitepapers as Push Content for link building?

Hello everyone, I am building links for an e-commerce site and I need to increase the value of the links we get by placing them on specific pages in order to pass more juice to inner pages. Which part of the website should I point the links to? Because there is no content section on the site what I can do is either link to the homepage (not an option) or link to inner pages such as category/subcategory/product pages. My doubt is that it wouldn't look natural to link to products pages from a piece of content or from a site where people go with the intention not to buy but to get information. Any opinions on this?

Link Anchor Text post Penguin 2.0
I have heard a great variety of views concerning the anchor text used for link building post Penguin 2.0 but have yet to hear some consensus. Some say the anchor text for external links should be different than internal. Some say brand should be used on external and keywords on internal. Some say brand and a variety of keywords on external. Any thoughts on a strategy consistent with google expectations and guidelines?

1 Domain - 2 Links Pointing to 2 Different Pages
Hi Guys, I wonder if you can give me any pointers: We have an exact match domain name that is ranking #5 for our main keyword and is getting some good traffic through the site. We have just created a landing page for another keyword with fresh content that will be updated every week. The question is, I've been building links to my domain name and I'm just wondering if we built another link from 1 of the sites we already have a link on and point it to this new landing page would this help it rank better or not? Hope the above makes sense. Thanks, Scott

I have two separate websites on different servers and was wondering that since reciprocal links effectively eliminate each other, I'm curious if this link strategy will keep the links counting. Here's the strategy: I will have someone link to my site A and if i link to their site from my site B in a three way link strategy, will the links count even though both my site A and B have me listed as the Whois so Google knows that both sites are owned by me? Or will the links be discounted as reciprocal? Thanks in advance for your feedback! Take care, Ron
