Still worth it to get listed on "resources" pages
-
Hello,
I'm a new moz user who handles the online marketing for www.griefrecoverymethod.com. We provide grief support groups and 1-1 work as well as professional training for caregivers.We are on some websites as a grief resource, but not as many as I think we can be on. We have never attempted to reach out on a large scale to get added to sites.
Is this type of link building worth a large campaign for us? Or has the ship sailed on link building with resource pages.
I'm fairly new to all of this so any guidance at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for checking out our site. Good point on the sharing buttons. We have some minimal options on each blog but that is about it. I have a hover type social share on my to do list for sure. I will looking into "share this".

Thanks for this info. Seems like a great plan. I will look into building a strategy to hit all of these points.

I like your site (and agree about the DSM-5). Pardon me for not directly answering your question or if you've thought about this already; I notice you have your own Face Book and Twitter pages linked top right, but I can't see any social sharing buttons for people to share your content on places like their own Facebook profile to friends, Google+, Pinterest and the like.
Search engines rank social factors, they are now one of the main pillars of SEO, ergo, when someone shares your content that's like a link. I use "ShareThis" for my social share buttons, they have a range of styles. They have a hover button on the left side of their page here http://sharethis.com/ that one might look good on your site without affecting the presentation or useability.

I agree with Chris on this! You should get links from resources pages but good link profile comes from the diversification of links so if the links are only coming from 1 kind of link building tactic thin might hurt you in the future... I believe, with this you should use 404 link building, infographics, guest blogging, links within the content, manual outreaching and more...In order to have an organic and diversified link profile that ideally search engines are looking for!

Thanks for the advice. We are blogging regularly as well and I'm trying to develop some other link building strategies.
I would mainly be approaching sites with good domain authority like universities, hospitals, counseling sites etc. We have a good reputation in the community so I'm hopeful that will help us get on some quality resource pages.

You should be trying to get your site listed as a resource on those pages. But: it can't be your only strategy, as a link profile predominantly of one kind of link is not considered ideal and, be sure verify that the links on those resource pages you're looking for are well curated--there are tons of "resources" pages out there that are worthless heaps of crap links. A small percentage of reciprocal links are OK.

Parent pages : Duplicate content
Hello, I think this question relates to "Parent pages" structure or SILO but I couldn't find an answer online. For a website that sell products, for example "Appliances". A link to this page appears in 1 category of the menu named "kitchen" but also in another 1 category named "household appliances". It means that it appears twice in the menu but with a unique URL. Would that affect SEO ? Is it duplicate content ? And would it be better to choose 1 father or let it that way ? Thanks for your help. Max

Empty href damages SEO? (href="#")
Hello, I'm analyzing a website with thousands of pages.
Link Building | | prozis
I realized that on many of them they have empty links such href="#". I wonder if that will cause any SEO damage, or if Google will just ignore it as there isn't any link? I was reading about it and people seems to not be sure, although they recommend on forums to user the CSS pointer clickable instead of empty link. Let me know your opinion on this please! Thank you in advance!0 -
Domain vs. page SEO
Hi I'm new to SEO and trying to optimize one of my pages. However this page that I'm trying to optimize is not the homepage. Does it mean that since I have collected links from other pages to my homepage that the specific page I'm trying to SEO doesn't get any "link juice"? And how could this situation be corrected? Is the only way to get direct links to the page I'm trying to optimize?

Is directory submission still a valid practice?
Hi Guys, I have few doubts running in my mind on directory submission, do you think it is still a valid practice in link building?. If your answer is "YES", then please correct me.. How submitting to directories is a natural link practice? According to Google, links should not be purchased, it should to be created naturally, but if you see, a lot of high authority directories charging amount from people to index links, why Google not stopping those directories (I mean penalizing) and stopping the people who are trying to get indexed by paying. According to me directories holds only bunch of links to some external domains (I hope I am not wrong), then how submitting to them can bring rankings to me?. Sorry, if I sound stupid in any of my points, but expecting some good answers from you folks.. 🙂

How can I get listed in DMOZ.org
I was listed in DMOZ for over 10 years. Then suddenly my listing dropped out (I suspect a competitor is an editor and bumped us) and my rankings have dropped a bit. I have resubmitted my site repeatedly, but with no luck. Do you have any idea how I can get relisted? Lisa Rioni http://www.wholesalecentral.com

Followed Links from random forums, is it worth?
I have a competitor that apeears first place in Google with a certain keyword, i explore their site, and they have a lots of forums poiting to their page. What they do is, just go to a random forum, comment some threat and they put the anchor in sig, with that keyword, linking to their page. Well, from what i read in SEOmoz articles, Google its no supose to penalyze this pages? Because thoose are pages (forums) that dont have nothing to do -subject- with the page that apears in first place? Its a good practise? Should i do the same (x2) to get the first place in google? (Sorry for my English) Thank you.
