Are Low Quality Links Worth It?

August 26, 2008 By: Justin | 27 Comments

A video to address the worth of low quality links and why you should not ignore lower quality links like article marketing. Addresses the concern many new people might have. Its a little long (around 30 minutes), but has some good information.

This video continues the discussion of article marketing and link building. It is prompted by some questions about why should someone use article marketing if the links are low quality or discounted. The post rambles a little (especially towards the end), but I think its an important message for anyone who keeps finding that they’re going no where with link building.

I start off by talking about the general view about links than many “newbies” have. I believe too many people stress getting the “perfect link”. As a result, many people hinder their own link building by over stressing it.

Article marketing has a lot of benefits, which I discuss in this video. It provides great anchored related links that can be used to build links for long tails, niches, and specific posts. In addition, it provides diversity in your link profile by helping you build a massive number of links.

I talk briefly about how links have an combined effect, where your link profile creates an authority that is different than just the sum of the parts.

Lastly I close with a kind of rant. Basically, test stuff and try stuff.  Get to work. And Get links.

I mentioned several programs and links in this video, which I said I’d link to.

These two programs were mentioned, which are solid SEO programs.

These are the two article submission programs/services I mentioned

I also suggest that you install these two Add Ons for Firefox

Article Marketer Comments

August 23, 2008 By: Justin | 36 Comments

Hey guys, finally getting around to making a post after the move. I’m going to give video blogging a try. Let me know what you think. Should I keep with video or go back to writing posts. This video is a response to the comments about the article marketing post (about Article Marketer) and the anchoring like a newbie post.

In the video I mention Article Marketer, which is a paid service that will distribute your articles for you. Its a great method of generating one way anchored back links for long tail niches or specific posts on your blogs. I’ve used it for over a month, and I’ve had great luck with it. I also talk about Article Submitter, which people can use as an alternative. Both are nice options to help you automate your link building.

I also briefly mention my last post about anchoring your links like a newbie.

Lastly, I talked about targeting your post for search engines. I suggest that you check out my post about writing for search engines. It will help you when you’re writing your articles. The key is to target the article at the keyword(s) you are anchoring in the resource box. This way the post is related. Related links pass more link juice, which you can learn more about in my Links and PR basics post.

New Apartment

August 19, 2008 By: Justin | 8 Comments

Post is about nothing, so you can skip it if you want. Just a status update.

Sorry for no posting, it isn’t due to being lazy or not motivated. I moved this weekend, so I’ve been without solid internet for almost a week. It took longer than I thought to get moved the the net set up.

I will be back in business tomorrow and will answer all the comments I have missed =P
Sorry guys! The new apartment rocks though.
