Where I need to jump? Web OR Social OR Local Directories
-
I am working on patio umbrellas keyword to achieve top 3 ranking in Google. I have achieved top 30 ranking with help of on page optimization and want to achieve top 3 ranking with help of link building.
Today, I was checking SEO web directories on SEOmoz. Now, I can't make any changes on live website exclude content. So, I have only one option to deal with link building.
There are 3 sections over there including Web Directories, Social Directories & Local Directories. So, which is best one to improve my ranking on Google? If anyone have additional inputs for link building so eager to know that.
I want to achieve top 3 ranking with my keyword by next 2 months.

I would firstly check the competitions for that term. What they are doing, where to they get their "juice" from. And only then start thinking about a strategy how to out-rank them.
Good luck!

Good to know! But, I have concern about effectiveness and get maximum benefits.
Web directories can take time for approval that's why I don't want to jump in to.
I have good experience with social directories but, keyword is high competitive on which I'm working. That's why I want to drill down more before jump on this section.
Local directories can help me to generate traffic from Geo-location. But, I have concern to earn back links from that channel.
I have completed my task with top article directories. You can look at one of my article author profile.
Now, what is rest of thing for me? What is next for me in link building?

Hi CP,
If it would be me, then I would go for a "hybrid", and create web, social and local listings too.
I think you could benefit from all of them.
Good luck!

Do the bots crawl the top of the page first - directory listing question
Hi all, I've purchased a link from a good PR4 website, but they added my link to the bottom of a lengthy page. They offered to up-sell me to get to the top of the page, where I'll be 10 or 12 links down. One of my direct competitors is at the top, so I'm happy with the directory choice (they spank me in rankings). The only reason I'm on this directory is to purely capture link juice. So knowing all of that, my question is, should I go ahead and pay to be on the top, assuming that Google bots crawl a page from the top down? It's important to me for the bot to log this link quickly. Or is paying to be at the top pointless, because the bot will just as quickly crawl to the bottom of the page and pick up the link anyway? Thanks! T

Timing of Adding Links -- Guidance Needed
We have entered into a partnership with one of our sister companies that owns many different small newspapers and their associated websites -- they have agreed to show some of our content on their site along with providing links back to our website. There are 50+ of these websites that we will be getting links from. Does it matter to Google how quickly we add these links to these sites? They are all very legitimate links with unique content provided. We just didn’t know if Google would view it negatively if we added a bunch at one time. Any guidance on the timing of how links are added would be most valuable. Thank-you.

What article directories (if any) are still worthing posting to?
While article marketing my not be at the top of the SEO strategy heap, it has, thus far, had a place small place at the table. In light of the Panda-Farmer-Anti-Demand-Media-Content update, I'm re-thinking article marketing altogether. Which, if any, general article directories are still worth adding content to in terms of links and eyeballs? Should these general article directories be avoided altogether?
