I have about 6 months to build links and get in better position than my competitor. please advice me how can i start this project.
i am building links with competitors root domain right now and indexed by them about 6 of 18 and keep building it.. -
Kevin it is all about quality vs. quantity but don't let anyone tell you the quantity doesn't matter... We are quickly moving up the rankings by doing a combination of Social Media Bookmarking, Video SEO, Article Writing, Blogs, RSS submissions etc. I suggest you try a campaign involving those for starters and then maybe issue a PR via PRWEB.
One challenge we face is one of the top ranking sites we are trying to beat is building 3K + links a month... Hard to compete with that so we are just doing as much as we can and focusing on quality first.
6 months is good. Build out as much content and get the leg work started ASAP.
Best of luck!

Kevin, while analyzing your competitors and also while building your own strategy, the most important thing that you have to consider is quality.
Usually good amount of links from fewer domains is not really helpful and it is always advisable to earn links from different domains….
I think your first step must be to figure out the quality of domains from where your competitors are getting a link, are they relevant websites? News websites? High authority? And other important factors…
Step two is to design you strategy in which you have to think that can you acquire link from the websites where your competitor’s link is present (if they are credible website this is a good strategy to start.)
You also have to design strategies that allow you to get links from different domains like guest posting, info-graphics, interviews and more…

Kevin - there are a lot of different factors that go into rankings. In general, it's better to have links from more root domains, rather than a large number of links from a few root domains. However, you can't disregard the quality of those root domains. If you only get very low quality root domains linking back to you, while your competitor has a couple of great, high quality links with the right anchor text, they could still hold you off for a while.
Sounds like you're on the right track though.

Does a domain that has migrated or expired that points to my site affect my backlink profile.
I'm new to backlink auditing and I'm certain that the website in question is a link directory anyway. It's spam score isn't high, so in theory it looks okay but in actual fact the webhosting has expired. How badly do these types of broken inbound links affect my site?

SEO & URL parameters on external links
Hey guys! I've got a quick question: We are getting some guest posting opportunities with a few big sites in our space...
Link Building | | floriannin
In those guest posts we will also have to chance to link back to 1-2 articles of ours and to our main site. Should I use UTM parameters to track how many clicks we get or will this in any way negatively affect our SEO benefits? Hope you guys know what I mean. I found tons of articles on this but mostly about inbound links... which isn't the case here. Thanks in advance 🙂0 -
Sending Domain Authority from Root www domain to *
Hello all Some advice please. Im working with a friend who has a website (obviously). Its based on wordpress and is accessible by the link http://exampledomain.com. The problem is he has some good links out there which are pointing at http://www.exampledomain.com. As yet Im uncertain how he has setup his DNS, he maybe is doing a forward which would leave the DA back with the www subdomain. What is his best practice to inherit those links into his actual domain? Thanks

Should I dicard them in my SEO estrategy?
Hi there! Some of you guys told me that I shouldn't concede too much priority to the directories in my linkbuilding stratregy. But should I incorpore it (In case it has a little impact in SERPs) or directly discard it as it has NO influence at all, what would it be more important quantity or quality? Could it have more impact a directory with PR 7 as 100 directories of PR 3 or below? Thanks

Building Links to Exact Match Domains
What are the pros and cons having exact match domain and how can you create a brand name and build backlinks? Say we have a domain personalizedbirthdaygifts.com We are quite stuck with what anchor text we need to use and how do we vary it? I've heard that we have to stay away from using commercial keywords as anchor text heavily. We have to also use our brand name. And here we get stuck as we don't have a brand name. In this case Our brand name should be personalized birthday gifts but this is also commercial keyword. I have seen before similar websites droped from ranking because they have commercial keywords in their domain and most of their backlink anchor texts are commercial. If I had a website called twentyfive.com selling birthday gifts it would be a lot easier. But when you have a website personalizedbirthdaygifts.com and trying to rank for personalized birthday gifts and birthday gifts it's tough. OR isn't it? I hope I explained it well and didn't confuse anybody... Thanks

Domain position on site:domain.com search
Hi, After the last week Google algotithm update, my web site index appears on 4th position when I search for site:www.domain.com If I make a simple search for domain or domain.com it ranks on first position. Is this a sign of a penalty ? What would be the cause ? Thanks
