10-Point Guide To Authority Link Building | SEOMoz

10-Point Guide To Authority Link Building | SEOMoz | Internet Marketing Strategy 2.0 | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Neil Patel at SEOMoz says it right:


"...nearly half of what determines the rank of your site is based upon the types of links driving to your site."


And it is true, that even now, knowing the tactics and skills required to build incoming quality links to a web site, can still be tangibly beneficial to the visibility of that site inside the SERPs.


In this 10-point guide to link-building, Neil Patel provides a good basic roundup of popular approaches to link building while providing inspiration and examples on how to do it.


Here an excerpt of the ten key points he discusses:


Rule 1: Write content that attracts Editorial In-content Links
 

Rule 2: Fix other people’s broken links


Rule 3: Create a desirable image library


Rule 4: Offer to write a column or do a guest post


Rule 5: Go to where your target audience hangs out


Rule 6: Fill gaps in content


Rule 7: Contact big media at the right time


Rule 8: Approach government or education sites


Rule 9. Buy links without penalty


Rule 10: Know the difference between a good and a bad site"


For each one of the Rules, Neil provides a good explanation of what he means, and some real cases or examples of how you can do this too. He also provides links to some useful resources, tools and examples.


Useful. 7/10

The Power of Using Curated Lists of Resources for Link Building | SEOmoz

The Power of Using Curated Lists of Resources for Link Building | SEOmoz | Internet Marketing Strategy 2.0 | Scoop.it

Lists are awesome for link building because someone else has already done some of the hard work for you. If you can find good quality, curated lists of websites, then you can be reasonably sure that you have found sites that are good ones to get links from.

 

You still want to run your own analysis and due diligence, but the end output is probably going to be a higher majority of quality sites than you would have gotten from pulling lists straight from Google SERPs.

 

The process I use can be broken down into the following:

 

1. Find your Lists:

There are multiple ways of doing this and there are probably more places to find them than you think.

- Curated lists found on other websites;
- Top x type lists found on other websites;
- Public Twitter lists;
- Good quality directories;

 

2. Scrape together your master list:

Here are a couple of ways of pulling link targets from a page very quickly without building a tool.

- Multi-links for Firefox;

- Scrape similar plugin for Chrome;

 

3. Filter and prioritise:

Now we need to filter, sort and prioritise. Chances are that you have ended up with a pretty big list of potential link targets, so you need someway of knowing where to start to give you a good return.

- Filtering using Excel;

- Filtering using Google Docs;
