How do I get the most links out of one QUALITY article/post??
-
Basically we are a small business (2 employees) we don't have the time or resources to be writing hundreds of original quality articles each week (nor do we have the time to write endless guest blogs each week) how do we gain links from one article? (not including poor quality article submission sites) And how do SEO's write so many guest blogs? for the returns on time invested!!! Confused Newbie, thanks in advance!!!

The other solution is to start your own personal search and you can find good quality writers.
It then depends on you having your own set of guidelines and requirements that they must adhere too.
amount to a copywriter. -
I agree. There are some good people on those sites but most of them have been trained to write $2 articles. Creating something that is "best on the web" is not what they are used to doing.

All of the content that we produce is placed on our own websites. We never give it away or sell it. When we publish a new piece of content it is often submitted by our visitors to reddit, stumbleupon, digg or slashdot. We have AddThis sharing buttons obviously placed on every pages of our site to make sharing easy for our visitors. If you have good content they will do that for you. We also ask our visitors to subscribe to our new content by RSS feed and email. We use feedburner for this.
This method takes patience. If you keep publishing good content the size of your site will grow, the number of SERPs that you appear in will grow, the number of subscribers will increase, the number of visitors will rise. If you have great content in a niche that people care about that will happen. If that isn't happening then you must ask yourself if anybody cares about your content. If not then you need a different business model.

They generally don't produce good quality content though...

This is the problem, we are a copywriting company by nature, and we know the content we produce is "quality" we spend on average 2 days writing one article. Where do we present these "quality" articles? Submitting articles to Ezine and article submission sites seems like we're throwing our great content into a black hole! How are we supposed to get an audience for this content? Are we missing a trick?

Hi Nicholas,
Have you looked into hiring a copywriter?
There are plenty of freelancers out there and all you would need to do is come up with the article ideas and brief them into the writer. You should look at some freelance writer sites such as:
http://www.studentgems.com/
https://www.elance.comThis way you can get great content (depending onb quality of writer you hire). The cost of this is dependant on who you hire and what your budget is.
I hope that helps somewhat.

We don't have the time or resources to be writing hundreds of original quality articles each week
I hear you.... But if you want the rankings you must fight for them. We have a three person biz.... One takes care of customers and the other two spend almost 100% of their time working on websites and creating content.
We are not making 100's of articles per week... maybe just one or two.
The problem with the word "quality" is that most people mistake crap for quality. They spend an hour on an article, call it "quality", toss it onto the site, then complain that nobody links to it. If you want your content to attract attention it has to be better than "pedestrian"... you need to make "best on the web".

What qualities to look for when trying to find sites to get backlinks from?
When trying to build backlinks, of course some sites are much harder to get links on than others. I am trying to figure out which sites my time and effort is best spent trying to get a link on. I may view a site as important and high quality but Google may not. Which tools and metrics within MOZ should I look at to determine if a site is worth the effort to get a backlink from? I'm sure "Domain Authority" is a factor. Which number makes it definitely worth pursuing?

If I get multiple links from one domain, will that help my rankings?
Hello, I have developed a relationship with a blogger in my niche. He has published a guest post of mine with a link back to my site. Does it make sense to keep providing him with content to build different links from different pages within the same root domain? Thanks! Ricardo

I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?
A blogger told me that "wordpress.com does not allow blogs to show advertisements or use links to sites that sell merchandise of any kind" is this true? Am i wasting my outreach time trying to get links from wordpress operated blogs?

Blog posts with currently no links question
Hi, If a blog has 100's of quality blog posts all with PR 1-3 but has no internal linking going on, what kind of affect would it have if someone was to go through all the pages using mixed anchor text (where it fits) back to money pages. Would generating 100's of internal links from a blog in a matter of days cause problems / flag up to SE's. I'm guessing it would be best to stagger it over a long period of time. Cheers

I am new to Internet Marketing world and want to become a great SEO. My biggest challenge is How To of Back linking. Not the reason and theory behind back linking. But more the actual hands on Back linking strategy. I feel that a lot of the back linking information out there is so mixed.Rand did a White board Friday lesson on the new link building strategies. When searching for back linking strategies it is filled with all the old link building tactics. What I wanted to ask is all the experienced back link people is, Have you changed your back linking strategy. Or just parts of your strategies. It all seems very confusing for a newbie when it seems the industry it self is still uncertain. Any advice on where a newbie should be starting their new back linking strategy. And any good resources on learning to do the actual hands-on of the back linking. Thanks in advanced

What are your favorite tactics for getting links to money-pages?
We've got content marketing and other great tactics for getting links to content pages, but what are your favorite tactics for getting links to your money pages (i.e. product pages, landing pages, devices pages, sales letters, etc.) For example: For certain sites (especially some ecommerce sites), one can get a few backlinks by doing giveaways, contests, or events Some sites can give their product to bloggers to review If you're selling an exciting product and/or a product that appeals to a passionate user base, such tactics can work great. There are some sites that such tactics won't work very well for, though. For example, if you sell a boring or highly specialized product that bloggers won't want to review or giveaway as a contest prize - such as valves used in a specific commercial application, or an expensive B2B product that you can't really giveaway. Creativity is of course important, but sometimes it can only take you so far. What are your favorite strategies for getting quality backlinks to your "money pages" especially for sites that don't fit into the "ecommerce site selling cool stuff" category?

New ways to get links (excluding on site link bait)?
Fellow SEOs, I’m looking for a new way to reach out to bloggers and site owners for links. There are quite a few link bait techniques to lure bloggers thanks to = amazing content, infographics,...but there are not so many articles on ways to contact bloggers/webmasters and ask for links... We all know that contacting site owners directly and politely asking then to place a link on their home page is as useful as a comb in Bruce willis’s hand. Link exchange is as dead as the Dodo and business partner links are usefull and easier to get but opportunities are often limited. I have been organizing contests for bloggers recently and it has been quite successful up to now, but I always like to have a spare trick up my sleeve. So if any of you have a decent method to reach out to bloggers/webmaster and get decent links please let me know, I will be forever thankful ; ) Cheers
