good thing I just found out about it, would have been a waste of time to write a quality content for this site and get no link juice. Although visitors referred do count, we were not banking on Squidoo for anything more than link juice. Time to get real serious in guest blogging. I just need to network and that is the hardest step as far as my research shows...
Any ideas where a good writer with very few people in his network of fellow bloggers can get a good start at this?

i agree keri, i really think it will separate the poor content from the good & relevant content.
hope it works out for the best for squidoo and its members

Thanks for pointing this out! A lot of unhappy people on the thread, but among SEOs that have retweeted the announcement on Twitter, there seems to be a positive reaction that this will help reduce the incentive to create low-quality content.

No real surprise. Any site that gets abused eventually goes from dofollow to nofollow. I'm pretty sure at one point Twitter, Wiki, Pinterest and more of the main sites were follow ... but then it gets abused like crazy and then boom, nofollow.

So bad. I got few backlinks from them. Now all of them are no follow.

What are some Boilerplate Link-Building Activities for a new site?
Assuming you have built a new sophisticated site that involves high user engagement as in bounce rate < 30% sophisticated genuine content (pages > 2000 chars) best possible site speed what are some of the boilerplate link building activities you would execute under which considerations? Activities: I am thinking of things along the lines of building X social media links using a fiverr submission to curated link directories reach out for high quality links with thought leaders etc Considerations: I am thinking of things along the lines of keep a constant link gain velocity over the first 3 months make sure you place links across pages not just the root domain make sure you have a mix of follow and no-follow links and a natural anchor text distribution In short I am hoping we can crowdsource a linkbuilding starting guide in the SEO world of 2015. /T

New article algorithm changes -- links allowed
hey guys, i understand that google has made algorithm changes for article writing in that only one link is allowed now per 500 words. would this include the "author resource" box if you don't place links in the body? any suggestions would be great: Due to the latest changes in Google's algorithms, regarding the proportions between the length of the content to the outbound links, ArticleSlash's requirements are changing effective immediately. • - For articles with up to 500 words, we will allow only one hyperlink • - For Articles up to 900 words - two hyperlinks • - For articles with 900 words and above - three hyperlinks Short articles with many outbound links are running the chance to get into Google's spam filters, which is why we are implementing this change, effective immediately.

Primary link building for new clients, where do you go first?
When starting out with a new client, where do you look first to build links for that client? I have a lot of close friends who have small businesses with not a very huge budget for SEO and I'm trying to wrap my head around how to do a significant amount of quality link building without breaking the bank. Any suggestions? My list so far is: Friends / Family of the client.

Link building and directory links to a new site
I have three new sites all hosted on the same server in the same public html folder and each site is in a different folder inside the public html folder. These sites are a listing of live music venues in different cities in Texas. Should I link these sites together to increase page rank to each other and also put key search phrases in the anchor text and place these links in the text in the center of each page of each site to make the links more effective? Also, because the sites are about a year old they don't have many inlinks yet. If i submit them to about 50 directories will Google not like this because there are way more directory links than natural links? I've been told that it is trouble to have more than about 50% directory links compared to natural links. Thanks in advance for your answers! Take care,
