Backlinks, SEO and Linkwheelz

SEO, Backlinks, & Linkwheels

web 2.0 sites can be used in many different ways. But, if you’re working on your blog or site’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization) you can use web 2.0 sites for building link wheels or link pyramids. Link wheels & pyramids THAT ARE NOT CLOSED (completely connected) are one of the most advanced and best ways to rank your site or blog very high on the search engines, and it’s very effective when it comes to giving your site a boost in its page rank (PR). Web 2.0 sites (ie. Facebook, Youtube, Myspace, Squidoo) are free and with their high page ranks, using them to build link wheels helps your blog or website rank higher also. Here’s a list of web 2.0 sites and blogging platforms with their page rank:
Completely connecting ANY wheel or pyramid WILL GET YOUR SITE OR BLOG REMOVED from Google’s index along with other search engines!

Here’s What NOT To Do (VERY BAD LINKWHEEL)

Notice how the circle completes entirely on the outside? THIS is what WILL GET YOUR WEBSITE OR BLOG REMOVED FROM GOOGLE’S INDEX. Instead, set it up the same way (not on these exact sites) where each is pointing to your MONEY site AND pointing to the PREVIOUS POST URL (link to post only) But then STOPS. For example, the exact image is a perfect linkwheel ONLY IF IT STOPS. So the image is a linkwheel above but Quizilla SHOULD NEVER link to Vox, assuming Vox is the last property in the wheel. The same applies for a link pyramid, NEVER let any sites point to your MONEY site other than your level 1 HIGH PR properties. This is the RIGHT way to set up a pyramid. The amount on each level doesn’t matter but the pattern is PERFECT:

8 Excellent Search Engine Optimization Tips For 2013

1. Use a keyword rich domain name, but avoid looking spammy. The best domain names are short, contain your most important keyword(s), are easy to remember, and easy to spell. Bing in particular places a lot of emphasis on sites that have keywords in the domain name.

2. Invest in quality, unique content. Too many affiliates try to optimize a website that uses poor quality content pasted directly from a private label article, an offer landing page, etc. Unique content is a quality signal, and well-written content is much more likely to spontaneously generate links…which means it’s much easier to optimize a website with good content.

3. Add new content to your site on a regular basis. Adding blog posts to your affiliate site on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis is a great way to increase the size and scope of your affiliate site over time, ensure that search engine bots return to your site on a regular basis, and build an audience.

4. Beware of automated link building tools, cheap link building services, and other link building schemes. Google and Bing are pretty good at ignoring cheap links – automated or otherwise – and as a result automated tools, cheap directory submissions, bulk article submissions, etc. are rarely worth investing in. If you do find an automated tool, trick, or scheme that seems to work, keep in mind that Google or Bing will eventually figure out what’s going on and devalue those links. Therefore, work on building good quality links and leave the junk alone.

5. Follow these standard on-site optimization guidelines:

-Make sure the HTML title tag of each page uses 2-4 keywords, is less than 65 characters in length, and doesn’t contain stop words like “and, of, is,” etc.

-Use HTML header tags (H1, H2, H3), short paragraphs, and lists (UL or OL) to make your written content easy for readers to scan, and be sure to use keywords in these elements (just don’t stuff keywords where they don’t belong).

-In content links are the most powerful links on a page – footer and sidebar links have fairly low value. Therefore, some of your most powerful on-site links are from in-text links in your website’s articles or blogs.

-Use keywords in every page’s file name or URL, every image file name, etc.

-When you add an image to a page, be sure to use an alt tag that contains appropriate keyword(s) relevant to the surrounding content.

-Link images to pages – the “anchor text” of an image link is the text you place in the alt tag.

-Don’t place important content in IFRAMEs, Javascript tags, or as text inside an image.

-Don’t use javascript or CSS tricks to try and “hide” text from the user for the purposes of fooling the search engines – this is a great way to get your site penalized by Google or Bing. This does not include hiding an occasional H2 or H3 tag being hidden.

-When you name files, avoid using underscores, capital letters, or spaces – these characters can lead to broken links and/or crawling issues. Instead, use a dash to separate keywords in file names (just-like-this.html).

6. Promote your affiliate site as if it were a big brand. Big brands maintain active profiles on important social networks relative to their products, they send out press releases using premium distribution networks, they create product videos, etc. While it’s often hard for affiliate marketers to match big brands in all of these aspects, that doesn’t mean that an independent affiliate can’t get close. Pay for a quality press release submission service instead of using some spam-ridden free service. Invest some time in creating videos and uploading them to your own YouTube channel. Create profiles for your affiliate site on Twitter, Facebook, and forums relative to your niche…and then take the time to keep these profiles active. These tasks are time consuming and somewhat costly – but that’s why they work.

7. Focus your SEO efforts on creating great content, and then promote that content one link at a time. Use some creativity to come up with a guide, resource, online tool, etc., that your niche might find really useful. Then, once that piece of content is created, focus on promoting that content by contacting bloggers, other site owners, etc., and asking them to review your content. If the quality is high and the content is useful, it WILL get you links.

8. Site speed matters. Increasing site speed is a great way to boost search engine traffic to an existing site. Most sites can experience dramatic speed improvements by utilizing browser caching, gzip compression, file entity and expires tags, and the Smush.it image compression tool. There are also some inexpensive content delivery network (CDN) options available from Amazon and Rackspace that can dramatically reduce site load time…especially if you rely upon cheap shared hosting for your affiliate site.

Finally, when you think about SEO, think about the tortoise and the hair. While quick tricks might seem like the easiest way to get the search engine results you want, the reality is that slow and steady efforts will win the race. If you want your affiliate site to rank first overall for a money-making term, you’ve got to come up with a site that’s better than all the rest. Quality counts.

Enterprise Local SEO is Different: A Checklist, a Mindset

Posted by MiriamEllis Image credit: Abraham Williams If you’re marketing big brands with hundreds or thousands of locations, are you certain you’re getting model-appropriate local SEO information from your favorite industry sources? Is your enterprise checking off not just technical basics, but hyperlocalized research to strengthen its entrance into new markets? Before I started working for Moz in in 2010, the bulk of my local SEO experience had been with small-to-medium business models. Naturally, the advice I was able to offer back then was limited by the scope of my work. But then came Moz Local, and the opportunity to learn more about the more complex needs of valued enterprise customers like Crate & Barrel with more than 170 locations, PAPYRUS with 400, or Bridgestone Corporation with 2000+. Now, when I’m thumbing through industry tips and tactics, I’m better able to identify when a recommended practice is stemming from an SMB mindset and falling short of enterprise rea
