What is the best way to get unique links?
-
I do SEO for an online store that sells vacuum cleaners. I write a lot of articles for yahoo, hub pages, etc as well as promoted press releases. But I'm looking to get some more unique links. I'm looking for any tips I can get.
I've done tons of directories that have actually got a couple keywords on the front page of google but I'm looking to shy away from link directories.
I write a few articles every week.
I also try and create new social networking sites for the business.
Does anyone have any new ideas?

Maybe I didn't understand: but if it's a PDF, it's not html and the source is not visible–so how does that help your link? Or are people taking the info from the PDF and typing it into their site?
It sounds like a great idea, just want to understand.

Can you please share a sample PDF in what format we need to create. How other people can be interested to put our PDF on their website. Please suggest.

I found unless your infographic is really good and you push it correctly it doesn't do much for you

We've actually been doing some work on some Air Purifiers so I created my first infographic. You can tell it's my first time doing an infographic though.
-
Love this idea! Thanks for the help! I'll try this out.

I've actually just started emailing mom bloggers a couple days ago as well as emailing other sites that do reviews of vacuum cleaners. I'm trying to get into guest blogging but I'm not sure how.
-
Yes, We do a blog on our site to answer the questions that we hear most frequently. Lately I've been focusing on mainly on page optimization(looking for pages without meta tags and fixing, adding descriptions for all categories of products, and we add hundreds of new products every day) One thing that we offer is the parts diagrams and schematics for almost every make and model of vacuum cleaner.

How about writing some content about cleaning, organizing and sourcing some good mom bloggers to guest post on? Love the idea of doing an infographic too. You could probably do something pretty funny given the topic.

Going along with what EGOL has said here -- are you giving people a reason to link to your site in the way of excellent content on your website? Not just content below pictures that's for the search engines, but content for users.
- How do I find the perfect vacuum cleaner for me?
- Best vacuum cleaner types for houses with stairs.
- Best tips for using your vacuum cleaner on stairs.
- How to use your Vacuum cleaner to clean your whole house (attachments to clean things other than just your carpet)
- One simple trick that will double the life of your vacuum cleaner.
etc etc etc

Create a great guide, info-graphic , tool, or great on site contect that serves to be linked to - then contact people and let them know it exists
Guest posts contests and coupons work well as well .

My favorite one is creating a PDF of a resource for other people to use on their website. Inside the article I will have my website linked from the keyword phrase I want. They upload the document, because it's helpful, and I get a link.
Truth be told, I just started doing this, but I've had a good response so far.
Another option is trading a SEO white paper in exchange for a link.

You seem to be doing a lot of writing.... but is any of this going on your own website?
-
Can you give away products? Maybe target a few influential bloggers and send them a product sample for review?

Best five links to get first for a new website
I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

Best way to structure a service area page with many locations to maximize internal links to them?
Currently our service area page (http://www.njlimocarservice.com/services.html) very sloppily lists many of the towns we serve in multiple counties - over 50 approx (scroll down). They have been placed that way so there is links to them from one of the subpages directly linked from the root domain. I am now attempting to make it pretty and organized with my designer. I intend to maintain a link to each individual town/landing page for SEO purposes to keep it close to root domain. My questions is how to best structure this. I don't want to list by county because some people don't know what county the town is in. However an alphabetical list may be overkill as there is so many. The other option is to get a search form or dropdown list on there but how will my landing pages be recognized by crawlers if there is no internal links from my root domain? Eventually we plan to expand further so what happens when we add 100+ landing pages? What will then happen to my internal link juice? Thanks!

Why aren't links to my site from YouTube showing up in my link reports?
Our company is paying for a service to create hundreds of videos/month for us with links back to our primary domain. If I go to YouTube I see the videos with the links, but YouTube does not show in my link reports. Why not?

Do you get linkjuice from a dofollow redirect (Like Yahoo! Article links)?
I've recently hired a company that publishes my press releases for me. One of them is on Yahoo! Finance. When I went to the Yahoo article, my keyword link was dofollow, but had a very long Yahoo redirect link instead of just a direct link to my page. Am I still getting link juice out of this Yahoo redirect?

Link Churn - where have all my links gone?
I am sure most of you have asked yourself the question I'm asking right now.. Where have all my links gone? I am starting to get twitchy now. I would estimate we have lost around 60% of our links in the past 3 weeks. Does anyone have any comeback stories? Feel like I am back to the start again. I have made a number of changes on the site not least removing a reciprical link page.. that had over 200 links on it but from reading one of Rand's tweets is it true that linking out could be good again?
