News sites can anyone recommend any to gain links
-
Hi can anyone recommend any news sites that you can gain links from submitting your news. I did find a really good one where you can write a whole news story or share a news story and it generated a lot of traffic but shockingly i have lost the address of the site.
Any recommendations would be great
-
PRNewswire is by far the best although it can be quite pricey

Don't you have browser history?
Or alternatively, have you checked your google search history?

This is a good site to gain traffic

Hi shelly, no it was not but thanks. The site allowed you to either write a full story with a link to your site or just part of the story and allow people to read the full story on your site. The dashboard for the site was on the right and that is all i can remember about it.
I am searching the net at the moment because i found it the night before i went on holiday and thought it was great and was going to post it on here about the site with a review but when i got back from spain i lost the paper with the details on.

Here's some free ones we've used before;
Was it any of them?

The site that i was looking at was a very good free one, but then i went on holiday and lost the name of the site. I have to agree prweb is very good

Hi there - well if you have any garden/home/eco/design related websites gardenbeet.com will write you an article and post it on its website - there is a small admin fee of £9.99 - but the website has to do good, look good or offer something good
-
We sometimes use PRWeb for any company news or press releases and they're generally pretty good. They then submit to Yahoo News, Google News, etc.
Although it's a paid service (although not that expensive) We achieved the most visits and clicks through them than using any others.
There's a lot of other sites and PR sites about that do it for free, such as freepressreleases.com (I think), so you might want to look them up.

Having High Quality sites link to my site
How can I tell if a site is high quality or not, so far I have been using Moz's Toolbar to find the Domain Authority and Page authority to determine the quality of the site - is this correct?

Is there a good website builder that can gain links?
I made the horrible mistake of using GoDaddy website builder and just found out that I have 3 homepages with a 302 temporary redirect on one of them. GoDaddy says I have only one homepage and no redirects which is not true as far as both Google Webmaster and Mozpro are concerned. I am not able to change anything structurally on the Godaddy site. Is there an economical alternative to having a website built that I can work with myself (with little knowledge) and that I can do some link building that will be effective. Thank you, I will refrain from commenting on GoDaddy Scott

Hi everyone I have seen an odd trend in my rankings over the past 6 months that I would like to hear your experiences about. Everytime a get a new link I see an imediate minor drop in rankings only to bounce back to a higher level tah before. Has anyone seen a similar trend in their rankings and what might be causing it? I have made no changes to the site during the link building process.

Link Builder Recommendations
I've been looking for a link building company-person for ages now and can't seem to find someone worthwhile. The reason of course is that most of what I have seen is that they don't actually know what they are doing. I can link build but don't have enough time, I am looking for someone to build links to inner pages of my site to get its authority up without risking getting hit by any update or banging my head against the wall 6 months from now. Im on a shoestring budget but I think it would be enough to get someone worthwhile to do some long term link building. Anyone have some good recommendations for lets say $500 or less a month ?

5th failed Google reconsideration attempt, can you help? (are scraper/related news sites the issue?)
(sorry for the long question - I thought it would be useful to give the background!) I am really struggling a Google's reconsideration request for my site, and although we thought we had removed almost all the 'bad' backlinks I am still getting no-where... We are really wanting to focus on building our brand, and establishing our site as an authority but this penalty is really holding us back. The latest response from Google: There are still many inorganic links pointing to your site. At this point, we believe we’ve evaluated these links appropriately, and no further action from us is required. In order for your site to have a successful reconsideration request, we will need to see a substantial, good-faith effort to remove the links, and this effort should result in a significant decrease in the number of bad links that we see. We do not recommend that you submit another reconsideration request until you have been able to make a good amount of progress. Once you’ve been able to get the links removed, please reply to this email with the details of your clean-up effort. My Website: http://bit.ly/KXg8y1 History: This is a new domain - approx 6 months old Old domain received a Google links warning We decided to start a new website, launch a new brand and start from the beginning We 301 re-directed the old domain so we didnt lose customers We then got a Google links warning for the new site We assumed this was related to links from the old site and so removed the 301 redirect on the 20th August Our old sites links still show in Google webmaster tools Reconsideration History 1st re-consideration request: Explained the 301 redirect had been removed, assured we would now be focussing on high quality content/brand building and after 2 weeks received a standard message to say that still had inorganic links 2nd Request: Went through the new sites links (using open site explorer, AHREFs, SEO Majestic and GWM) and removed those we identified as low quality (mostly directories built by an SEO company we had started working with). We complied a spreadsheet with all the links in it (including 301 redirect links) and explained which had been removed, webmaster contact details etc. We also uploaded our template email and screenshots showing contact with webmasters. 3rd, 4th and 5th Request: We went through the new site links and were able to remove a few more links which were thin or could be seen as inorganic, and the end result is that apart from 6 links we have removed all those we have identified as inorganic. Links The old site had some pretty poor links We have done no paid linking, no blog networks, no spammy web 2.0 sites on this site. We've added good quality content to our blog, focussed on social media, published an infographic, and are committed to long-term brand building The links mostly come from guest blog posting. An SEO company (who told us they were 100% content based) built some directory links - but 99% of these have been removed There are some links from Scraper/related news sites (ones that have related blog posts or scrape images etc) Press releases which were picked up and re-published (some of these include anchor text) My Question/s: Do you think Google is still seeing the links from the previous 301 redirect in Google webmasters and including these still? Are these scraper/related post sites causing the issue? (organic links - but some dubious sites) Are sites re-publishing our press releases causing the issue? (organic links - but includes some anchor text I really appreciate your time on this one, I have tried really hard to identify and remove links, but am now struggling! Many Thanks

However, the header links on extreme top right side has some links like - login, register, about us, partner with us etc. Is is that google will give importance to these links and i rather should move them to footer links of page and should move the most important anchor links on the top header.
