Today, after consulting with Lizzie, she said I should do a post that talks about avoiding site wide links and/or links that appear to be paid links.
I also decided to do this video after reading Norhafidz post Free No Reciprocal Web Directory, where he talks about building one way links, and veering away from the method of reciprocal linking .
Here is another Link Building video I made. I originally was going to use this for a guest post on Link Building Bible, but I just read that LBB was sold…only a five month old blog and it has been sold…hmm.
This link building post suggests that when doing your link building you use variety. Sure you want to use your target keywords, but try not to over do it. Over using the keywords could potentially hurt your rankings.
A few ways to use Variety with Link Building:
submit to different categories when doing directory submissions
use stop words occasionally
have more than one keyword you are focusing on
use a variety of types of links such as blogs, directories, forums, paid links, etc…
get some links without keywords by using the url as the link text.
banner add links
a few premium directory submissions
deep link building
use variations of the keyword phrase by switching word order if a multi word keyword phrase is being targeted
use plurals
use both capitals and lowercase
So what are your thoughts on using variety while building links to your site?
Last week, I did a Link Building Tip post, and I was asked by Wayne of WayneJohn.com, what my goals are for my videos. At that point in time I really did not have any goals. But Wayne got me thinking, and I decided I would start doing a weekly Link Building tip post with at least one little SEO/SEM related nugget in each video.
This weeks video tip goes over the use of “Stop Words”. Check the resources at the end of the post for a definition of Stop Words.
Here is another link building tip that you may or may not have considered. Do you build links to keywords with both capitals and lowercase? I did a search for one of my clients, and noticed there is a difference between the serps when a capital is used instead of when it isn’t.
For example, try the keyword “tyco”. The first page serps(search engine results page) are almost identical, but look at the number 10 spot on both SERP pages.
Sure it maybe only number 10, but the number 10 spot I have heard often yields better results than the middle numbers.
My wife, Lizzie and I have a little bit of a disagreement on this issue. She thinks
Sorry I have not posted in a week or so. The past couple of months have been really bad for posting. I must be doing too many other things…got to stop Plurking.
Anyways, it is the end of the month, and I am compiling reports, and going through some directory links, and I am weeding out crap, clicking on the clients links in the directories when I find they have been added. Doing this as I have said before will often times(if the directory sorts by hits) move your link to the front category page, which often times is the only page in the category that is cached in Google. Some directories also have a “most popular link”, so clicking your link could also result in two links, even though this will only be temporary.
Linking Building Gripe
When I come to a directory and the directory redirects me to an advertisement(Check this Directory), I without a moments hesitation will delete these types of directories from my directory list.
I know I have been getting a lot of traffic due to being a Do Follow blog, and I also know that a lot of marketers are using Do Follow blogs for SEO purposes. If you do, please leave great comments that add to the conversation, and I would also suggest installing and operating a blog of your own that is connected to your site if it is an e-commerce site.
Several days ago, in my Mybloglog statistics I noticed several hits from DoFollowDiver, which turns out to be a “Do Follow” blog search engine. Funny thing, not to long ago, I made a comment somewhere that someone should come up with a search engine for Do Follow blogs. Low and behold here it is.
