Linkbuilding in unrelated blogs
-
Does google penalize you for linkbuilding in blogs that are non related to the topic of your website?
Are there any positive benefits to link building in unrelated blogs?
-
I wouldn't want 300 casino and body part enhancement blogs linking to my site, but in general it's not a problem. Jen Lopez has mentioned my business (RC model warship combat boats) with a link in coverage on the SEOmoz blog in relation to a wrap-up post on an SES we both attended. I'm not going to turn down that link. A lot of the top links to our business in OSE are from SEO sites, as I usually liveblog a couple of conferences a year.
Would I intentionally go out and try to build links from someone with a blog about fruit tree care as opposed to spending the same time and effort building links from a blog about WWII model ship plans? No, not at all.
-
There are NO penalties for link building on external blogs, build on any blog as long as it has high authority and is far away from spam.
As long as the actual page relates to yours you will be on top of the world.

Care to share? How do you add your keyword to the link without making it look like an advertising post, no matter how you phrase it!
-
Ok so you are distributing your blog posts with relevant anchor text - I would try and ensure that you have more links tracking back from related domains than that of unrelated - try finding relevant blogs using something like soloseo link finder
-
Im working on a blog post campaign that includes anchor text keyword links back to my site.
-
What kind of link building are you doing?
If I was approached to provide a link to an unrelated property, I would have to pass (unless it offered something of value to my visitors). Be careful of blogrolls etc.. form unrelated sites as it does not necessarily need to be Google who picks them up in order for you to be penalized.
-
I don't think you'll get any penalty, but keep it below 10% of the overall picture.
-
I think the better thing to ask is why do you need non-related links?
There are tons of link opportunities for every niche for free one way links.

Anchor text in blog boilerplate
At the end of our company blog posts, we have a short paragraph about our main service using anchor text linking to the homepage. I read somewhere (but can't for the life of me find it again) that this method can lead to Google ranking these blog posts lower than if they weren't there. Is there any correlation between internal linking using boilerplate anchor text and lower ranking for those internal pages? I understand that this isn't a top priority as Google is placing less value on anchor text, but don't want to do anything that could potentially hurt, either. Thanks.

External linking on a company blog
This has been bothering me for a long time. Our company has a sub-domain blog that gets a respectable amount of traffic but not a lot of SER. Most of our traffic comes from social shares (although we do rank really high for a few key searches). The blog manager is convinced that providing external links to additional resources or source material "dilutes the SEO juice" for the blog. URLs are provided, but they aren't linked. Attempts to sway her to the idea that external links are actually Good Things® have been stonewalled. Tell me I'm right and why.

Need feedback: Should we move our blog from blogger to our e-commerce site?
Hi, I write the blog for an e-commerce site that sells swimwear www.allwetbeachwear.com. The blog is currently a blogger blog that lives off the domain. I have always thought that having a blogger blog for the site looked unprofessional yet might be good for SEO since google owns blogger. However recently we are making SEO improvements and want to create more internal links to keep up with our competitors. I am thinking an on-site blog might be good for SEO. What do you recommend for the best SEO results for our site? -keeping on blog hosted on blogger -creating a new blog on our e-commerce platform -hosting the blogger blog on a subdomain of our ecommerce site Thanks!

Focus on guest blogging not working; what's the best quick fix?
I have always used strictly white-hat SEO tactics, targeting long-term results, my main focus being on quality guest blogging. I have been working on a site for around 6 months, and I started out with my keywords ranking very well, but very little traffic was coming to the site. 2 weeks ago I expanded my keyword list considerably in an effort to drive more traffic, but last week my keywords all took a nosedive. My client wants an answer by Thursday. I know there's no quick fix, but what's the best way to quickly get my rankings back up and serious traffic to the site? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
