Hi guys, i am having problem optimizing a b2b portal. Please kindly help me out what strategy should i follow. Onpage of the portal is fine, indexing 90% is completed. What i really think is we need to work out on link building strategy, please kindly send me what type of link building tools are still effective. Thanks
You can't rely on tools for the tier 1 links (the links connecting to your main website). You need a mix of article directory, web 2.0s, social bookmarks, videos, pdfs, manual comments, all manual for your tier 1 is preferred. Your tier 2 (sites that connect to your tier 1) can be tools such as GSA, senuke, etc if used correctly. Just make sure your tier 1's are created manually.
I don't think that you can rely on tools now better thing now left is to do things manually. You can find some tools available that can do for you but as soon as Google finds out you will be getting penalty. So, I would suggest better to remain far from these tweaks.
Hmm, i got it. What you would you say about Link building techniques, what sort of link building strategies i would follow i.e Social bookmarking, blog comments, guest blogs, forums posting, blog post etc
The only advice I can give is to use Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to share your B2B content, especially in communities and under hashtags related to your niche. If your portal has B2B freebies and ebooks, too, it may attract backlinks from blogs in your niche. However, since Google has been actively fighting old-style link building, be careful not to encourage any backlinks.
Do forum posting, social bookmarking, do blogging and guest blogging, use social networks, use document sharing site, try broken link building and Youtube for product promotion.
Guest blogging? have you not heard or read the latest penalties? Some of the largest guest blogging networks are gone & penalized... I wouldn't go there.
Yes, you are right that the largest guest blogging network gets penalized, but it does not mean that guest blogging is dead. Matt warns to SEO link builders who use guest blogging to build links. There are many link builders, who use that the largest guest blogging network for a wrong purpose only build links to their website to get ranked well. Matt wants to warn that guest bloggers that, if you are from fashion industry then go and find fashion related niche blogs. Don't try to post in technology or other niche blogs which do not relate to your niche. It looks spammy and don't pass any value to its users. Always remember :- DO GUEST BLOGGING ON RELATED NICHE SITES. Post a quality not a quantity content to on other blogs. Link your other guest blog where you regularly contribute to your google plus profile. Write more than 1000+ quality blog post.
Exactly, stick to your niche & don't spam... hopefully people read that advice before spamming links everywhere... or not... doesn't worry me if they ignore the rules - just means less competition.
Please try to avoid using any software in link building. Agree at all. :-D If Google would penalize all guest posts then what ? We will loose all blogs and bloggers. They write about something and how you'd expect to give you source URL ?
Why all? You just lose the blog platforms that are spammy & have one type of user, the user that offers nothing & just uses the guest blog to spam their links. It's already happening, there's been several large guest blog platforms that got in the shit with Google & faced numerous penalties. http://www.seroundtable.com/google-guest-blog-penalty-18278.html http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/ These are just a few, Matt Cutts obviously started this campaign against guest blogs in January, then Google penalized MyBlogGuest.com heavily, so it's not just pissing in the wind. If people are going to suggest guest blogging as an SEO practice - then they better add "related to your niche" at the very least.
I tried to say "If Google penalize all...". In fact I agree with you. Guest posting on related websites can not be classified as bad technique for SEO. Of course, you should choose related and quality website, not directory or some other garbage. Anyway, thumbs up for your comment. ;-)
Google is not going to penalize all guest posts. If this happens then google will lose their valuable audience. Google wants a great info not spammy link building post, which they can serve their audience. All big Blogs like Copybloggers, Techcrunch, Mashable etc. are living on the guest post. Google knows all this therefore they ban some spammy link building websites. Google wants quality info not in quantity, which users love to share.
Well, I don't get your point I was telling the same thing I never said rely on tools for link building in fact i said that best thing is to do this things manually.
