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!

Sitemap - What are the recommendations on the number of links

Do image "lightbox" photo gallery links on a page count as links and dilute PageRank?
Hi everyone, On my site I have about 1,000 hotel listing pages, each which uses a lightbox photo gallery that displays 10-50 photos when you click on it. In the code, these photos are each surrounded with an "a href", as they rotate when you click on them. Going through my Moz analytics I see that these photos are being counted by Moz as internal links (they point to an image on the site), and Moz suggests that I reduce the number of links on these pages. I also just watched Matt Cutt's new video where he says to disregard the old "100 links max on a page" rule, yet also states that each link does divide your PageRank. Do you think that this applies to links in an image gallery? We could just switch to another viewer that doesn't use "a href" if we think this is really an issue. Is it worth the bother? Thanks.

Subdomain Metrics Links??
I have been analysing my companies website against our competitors and we beat them hands down on everything apart from the total links in the subdomain metrics. Our competitor jumped above us a couple of months ago to grab the number one spot for our industries most valuable keyword. They have had a new website designed and after looking at the source code and running it through SEO MOZ in comparison to our site I can't see how they have manged to do it. We beat them hands down on all factors apart from subdomain metrics > Total links where they have twice as many. When it comes to Page Specific Metrics and Root Domain Metrics we easily beat them on all factors. Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do to improve the subdomain metrics? Thanks

Link from archived article.
A strong news site has an "archived.domainname" folder, where they have older articles listed. I can get a link on a page where there is a 4 year old article, which will be in this archived sub-domain. My questions: Will Google view a link from a 4 year old article as less valuable. Will Google notice the article is 4 years old and find it odd why the page all of a sudden has a link to my site, and thus devalue such link the sub-domain "archived" does that tell Google it is old and a link will be less valuable thank you

Domain Links or SubDomain Links, which is better?
Hi, I only now found out that www.domain.com and www.domain.com/ are different. Most of my external links are directed to www.domain.com/
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | BeytzNet
Which I understand is considered the subdomain and not the domain. Should I redirect? (and if so how?)
Should I post new links only to my domain?0 -
Linking to Authorities
Hello, I know that if its good for the user, its not a bad move. But for this question I am specifically asking for how it affects my ranking. Does it help my ranking to link to appropriate authority sites?
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | tylerfraser
Have you done any tests to see if linking out to authoritative sites like .gov info pages, industry leaders, etc. help with a sites ranking. I am thinking about taking of all of these outgoing links and just link to my important pages. Thank you, Tyler0
