What is the best way to get unique links?
-
I do SEO for an online store that sells vacuum cleaners. I write a lot of articles for yahoo, hub pages, etc as well as promoted press releases. But I'm looking to get some more unique links. I'm looking for any tips I can get.
I've done tons of directories that have actually got a couple keywords on the front page of google but I'm looking to shy away from link directories.
I write a few articles every week.
I also try and create new social networking sites for the business.
Does anyone have any new ideas?
-
Maybe I didn't understand: but if it's a PDF, it's not html and the source is not visible–so how does that help your link? Or are people taking the info from the PDF and typing it into their site?
It sounds like a great idea, just want to understand.

Can you please share a sample PDF in what format we need to create. How other people can be interested to put our PDF on their website. Please suggest.

I found unless your infographic is really good and you push it correctly it doesn't do much for you
-
We've actually been doing some work on some Air Purifiers so I created my first infographic. You can tell it's my first time doing an infographic though.
-
Love this idea! Thanks for the help! I'll try this out.

I've actually just started emailing mom bloggers a couple days ago as well as emailing other sites that do reviews of vacuum cleaners. I'm trying to get into guest blogging but I'm not sure how.
-
Yes, We do a blog on our site to answer the questions that we hear most frequently. Lately I've been focusing on mainly on page optimization(looking for pages without meta tags and fixing, adding descriptions for all categories of products, and we add hundreds of new products every day) One thing that we offer is the parts diagrams and schematics for almost every make and model of vacuum cleaner.
-
How about writing some content about cleaning, organizing and sourcing some good mom bloggers to guest post on? Love the idea of doing an infographic too. You could probably do something pretty funny given the topic.

Going along with what EGOL has said here -- are you giving people a reason to link to your site in the way of excellent content on your website? Not just content below pictures that's for the search engines, but content for users.

Create a great guide, info-graphic , tool, or great on site contect that serves to be linked to - then contact people and let them know it exists
Guest posts contests and coupons work well as well .

My favorite one is creating a PDF of a resource for other people to use on their website. Inside the article I will have my website linked from the keyword phrase I want. They upload the document, because it's helpful, and I get a link.
Truth be told, I just started doing this, but I've had a good response so far.
Another option is trading a SEO white paper in exchange for a link.

You seem to be doing a lot of writing.... but is any of this going on your own website?
-
Can you give away products? Maybe target a few influential bloggers and send them a product sample for review?

Is there a software to help me check whether the sites that i give link to, also place my link on their site (reciprocal link)?
When i exchange links with others, i usually put their link on my site hoping that they'll do the same. Since it's impossible to check all sites whose link i have placed on my page to see if they have put a link back to me, i was wondering whether there is a kind of software to help me do that!

Links from Real Estate Websites Link Page, Do or Don't?
It seems that real estate sites have at times been under heavier scrutiny from the search engines. But real estate agents get networking, which makes acquiring those links a little bit easier. Plus with localization of search, I think real estate sites may give off a good GEO scent. Should SEO's go for links from real estate websites? Does a reciprocal link devalue said links?

Link Churn - where have all my links gone?
I am sure most of you have asked yourself the question I'm asking right now.. Where have all my links gone? I am starting to get twitchy now. I would estimate we have lost around 60% of our links in the past 3 weeks. Does anyone have any comeback stories? Feel like I am back to the start again. I have made a number of changes on the site not least removing a reciprical link page.. that had over 200 links on it but from reading one of Rand's tweets is it true that linking out could be good again?

Can a reciprocal link turn into a one way if you no-follow?
If you create a list of links to top blogs in your industry but no-follow all the links, and they link to your list, will that count as a reciprical link or a one-way link by search engines?
