How to build links naturally?
-
Hi,
I recently started a website on famous Photoshop images. These are available in the internet, but on different sources, so i gathered them all and made them available in my website. So my content is not unique but it was gathered from different sources and made available in one website.
How can i get links naturally? Yes, it is a great content, but how people will know about my site so that they can reblog on their blogs?
How can i make the users to reblog my content and get links naturally?
Can anyone experienced help me?

I suggest doing a test marketing campaign with your personal and business Facebook page.
Create a catchy headline or comment on the photo, and post that with the link to your web page that should display the photo on that page. With the business page use the Booster promotion option to increase visibility and engagement.
Images drive engagement on Facebook and if they are famous and stunning then people should like them and share them. Make sure to give credit to the photographer.
You could also try the same campaign on Pinterest !
Based on the results / costs of the campaign, adjust and move forward. Good luck !

To get yourself started:
- Find similar sites around the keywords you're targeting.
- Comment on their blogposts in the most honest way possible.
- Get involved at the forums you'll find. Build authority.
- Maybe starting a contest is interesting for you?
Let me know if any of this is working for you.

Hi,
Thanks for the replies so far. Hey, robert, yes i am already doing the things you suggested me. But its been 2 weeks, and i haven't got any link or communication. Got a thought that i might be wrong, so asked a question here. I contacted many webmasters and bloggers but i hardly get a response from them.
Hey Kevin, Thanks for your suggestions. You suggested me Guest blogging, but Matt Cutts has already pointed that guest blogging has low value.
Hey Keri, No my images are not copyrighted, they are submitted by thousands of individuals who submit their content on many sites.

You Need to create awesome Content in case of you. I think You need to create unique Images that People are looking for to use in their Blogs/Website...
If you create awesome stuff, People will share/recommend your Website to others..

It's not related to links, but are any of the images that you use copyright? You don't want to go into the effort of putting the site together and getting people to know about it only to get takedown notices because images are used without permission.

If your content is great, links typically will naturally occur. However, I would do my best to communicate that this great content is there. A great way of doing this is guest blogging on their site. Also, try emailing bloggers that are in your genre about your site. Good luck!

New link explorer
I was checking this new tool which is really cool by the way and was wondering if I can outrank big guys with just content. I have a Domain authority of 28 with a spam score of 28 % Can I outrank with amazing content a site that hase a domain authority of 50 and a spam score of 1 % ? Should I ask for all my bad links to be removed so that my spam score goes down or doesn't it matter anymore those days and what matters is good content, link just don't count anymore ? Thank you,

What link would be better?
Hi Guys, Just wondering what would be better in this instance: finding an old post (with good authority) and getting a link from that old article or creating a brand new article and adding the link to that. Finding an old post (with good authority) and getting a link from that old article Creating a brand new article and adding the link to that. Both naturally link out to the page you want a link too. To me, number 1 as the page already has authority but then again number 2 since Google might place some weight to recency. Any thoughts? Cheers.

Affiliate Links Dilemma
Hello everyone. Our e-commerce website virtualsheetmusic.com has several hundreds affiliate incoming links, and many of them are "follow" links. I thought to redirect all incoming affiliate links to a "intermediate" page excluded by the robots.txt file in order to avoid any possible "commercial links" penalty from Google, but I now face a dilemma... most of our best referral links are affiliate links, by excluding those links from our back link profile could give us a big hit in terms of rankings. How would you solve this dilemma? What would you suggest doing in this sort of cases?

Internal links to preferential pages
Hi all, I have question about internal linking and canonical tags. I'm working on an ecommerce website which has migrated platform (shopify to magento) and the website design has been updated to a whole new look. Due to the switch to magento, the developers have managed to change the internal linking structure to product pages. The old set up was that category pages (on urls domain.com/collections/brand-name) for each brand would link to products via the following url format: domain.com/products/product-name . This product url was the preferential version that duplicate product pages generated by shopify would have their canonical tags pointing to. This set up was working fine. Now what's happened is that the category pages have been changed to link to products via dynamically generated urls based on the user journey. So products are now linked to via the following urls: domain.com/collection/brand-name/product-name . These new product pages have canonical tags pointing back to the original preferential urls (domain.com/products/product-name). But this means that the preferential URLs for products are now NOT linked to anywhere on the website apart from within canonical tags and within the website's sitemap. I'm correct in thinking that this definitely isn't a good thing, right? I've actually noticed Google starting to index the non-preferential versions of the product pages in addition to the preferential versions, so it looks like Google perhaps is ignoring the canonical tags as there are so many internal links pointing to non-preferential pages, and no on-site links to the actual preferential pages? I've recommended to the developers that they change this back to how it was, where the preferential product pages (domain.com/products/product-name) were linked to from collection pages. I just would like clarification from the Moz community that this is the right call to make? Since the migration to the new website & platform we've seen a decrease in search traffic, despite all redirects being set up. So I feel that technical issues like this can't be doing the website any favours at all. If anyone could help out and let me know if what I suggested is correct then that would be excellent. Thank you!

Aside from creative link bait, what's a solid link building strategy involve?
All things considered, directories, blogs, articles, press releases, forums, social profiles, student discount pages, etc, what do you consider to be a strong, phased, link building strategy? I'm talking beyond natural/organic link bait, since many larger accounts will not allow you to add content to their website or take 6 months to approve a content strategy. I've got my own list, but would love to hear what the community considers to be a strong, structured, timeline-based strategy for link building.
