B2B E-Commerce Link Building Strategy
-
Hello all! I was curious if anyone has had any success with a B2B E-Commerce Link Building Campaign or has any tips or ideas they would like to share? My customer base is very specific so up to this point it has been a little difficult trying to get customers and brands to link to a distributors' e-commerce site. Thanks!!

Thank you for all the constructive criticism and ideas Everett! I appreciate it!

Hello Barnsco Inc.,
I would imagine that a library of high-quality how-to articles (with pictures) and especially videos would do well. For example, if you sold concrete supplies you may consider a video about how to properly tie together rebar before pouring concrete. The audience would be DIY homeowners for that type of piece. It is ok if the audience for something like this isn't exactly your prospective buyer (i.e. contractors, builders...) but it would be better if it was.
If your site is barnsco.com you have some other fish to fry. The press release talking about the new eCommerce store links with "new ecommerce store" but goes to the home page instead of the eCommerce portion of the site. Also when I clicked on a product detail page I was taken to a Runtime error page. This happened several times.
Here are a few more ideas in addition to placing helpful content on your site, as discussed above.
Join B2B industry forums and participate in a constructive way. Answer questions about your industry. Don't drop links everywhere or join a forum, post once in the welcome thread, and leave for good. Be part of the community.
Leverage the business partnerships you already have. These partnerships can come in many forms, from sister-companies and manufacturers to the local chamber of commerce, BBB, and similar but non-competing businesses.
Write high-quality articles and place them on other sites by guest posting. Visit MyBlogGuest and similar sites to find opportunities. Pay attention to their guidelines.
Although they don't have as much power as they used to, and you shouldn't overdo it, there are probably some niche B2B directories out there worth submitting to. The more exclusive and/or niche they are the better. You don't want to be on a directory that accepts everyone who coughs up the cash.

Is Forum Link Building a Waste of Time in 2018?
Hi there, this is a general question about link building strategies in 2018. It actually relates to reports derived from the link building audit tool on SEMrush, so forgive that. We use Moz as well, it's just that we happen to be working in SEMrush for link analysis. Basically, the audit tool looks at our links and our competitors' links. It has come back with a number of 'opportunities' for link building and I'm questioning the value of many of them, in 2018. Many of the 'opportunities' the tool is suggesting we explore include answering forum questions on places like Reddit, Quora, etc. The tool has been good at identifying topical threads which might hold promise (a very specific branch of legal services) but most of the threads are 3 - 8 years old. To answer them, I would need to muster someone with expertise to post a relevant answer. So, obviously, my question is does anyone think there is any value in this sort of link building in this day and age? I really think our greatest value will be in guiding their content strategy and looking for content creation opportunities on high authority sites. Thoughts?

Has anyone had any experience and can anyone recommend a link building company who can build high quality links to specific pages of a website? Thanks!

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.

Selling link building - Show me the money !
Week after week we get enquiries for Link building services. Time and time again we are losing out on contracts and deals... My stance - We work on your site for a period of time doing link building so 2 days in the month a link building member will research competitors , yadi , yadi, ya 🙂 You get the picture right... But the customers are being told by less scrupulous companies the numbers of links they will receive. Impossible unless you are buying them right ? So it reaches that point when you start questioning being 100% honest... What advice would you give me on selling link building services...
