Great thread. Couple of really good questions: I made TOP 5 results backlink analysis. Found that first page has 3 backlinks Second has 10 backlinks Third has 159 backlinks fourth 0 backlinks fifth 10 backlinks 1. What to do with third results IF it's targeted backlinks? Not targeted backlinks? 2. Do you keep in mind backlink quality? (2nd tier backlinks?) Looking for asnwer!
pmolds, I`ll do it the next week, because at the moment I already have to analyze siliwangitravel and facerec`s websites. sorry, I just didn`t understand what means "targeted backlinks"? as for backlink quality, I evaluate it based on website and link type.
Targeted - Anchored(keyword). Non targeted - Semi anchored(blablabla keyword) there is 159 backlinks, but they doesn't boost page to first position.
ok, the % of targetted links is an important seo parameter for your future linkbuilding campaign. But this parameter often has sense if we estimate really great amount of backlinks to the definite page. I mean you should consider it, but it is not very strict measure how many targetted anchors do you have (60% or 80%). More important thing is the quality of linking websites and the naturalness of links. I don`t know what exactly keyword search results did you estimate and what exactly backlinks has the website, so I can`t tell about the sufficiency of 159 links for boosting to TOP1. I just want to recall you that there are many other ranking factors except the backlinks and in your case (when backlinks amount is so small) they may play the major role.
By the way, here is my post summarizing this thread data, by the way check p.s. about purchased links for people, who think the purchased links are useless
at last I found time to analyze. Download it here. In a day or two I`ll find time to implement other`s analysis So the backlinks of travel-tour-indonesia . com : 1 recommended resource listing 1 picture link 3 listed links 1 link partner 17 link exchange page links 1 exchange link 1 context link 17 blog comment links 5 advertisement source links 1 advertisement link
right now I have too much job and just have no time to implement backlinks analysis. When I`ll get some free time I`ll certainly implement them
Sorry, but if you need it so much, why don`t you take my description of analysis + check several examples and do it by yourself? The main purpose of this thread was to learn people how to implement the analysis and I guess who really needed - they learnt.
